What Happened
Sportsnet published a ranking of all 32 NHL Hometown Remix jerseys, a league-wide alternate uniform collection inspired by each city's history, culture and landmarks. The Anaheim Ducks took the top spot. According to Sportsnet, the jersey's green, purple and gold palette recalls the Mighty Ducks era, the flying V sleeve design returns, and an 'Orange Country' reference is stitched into the bottom hem. The ranking covers the full set from best to worst.
Key Details
- The NHL debuted the Hometown Remix collection across all 32 franchises.
- Sportsnet ranked every team's design from best to worst.
- Anaheim placed first in that ranking.
- The Ducks jersey uses green, purple and gold from the Mighty Ducks era.
- An 'Orange Country' detail appears stitched into the bottom of the jersey.
- The flying V sleeve design is part of the Anaheim look.
What It Means
The ranking is an opinion piece rather than a league or team announcement, so the Ducks' first-place finish reflects Sportsnet's assessment of the designs. The collection itself is a league initiative giving clubs creative latitude to draw on local identity, and the Anaheim entry leans on the franchise's 1990s visual history rather than a purely modern look.
