Hometown Remix Tier List — All 32 Jerseys Ranked
The NHL and Fanatics dropped the Hometown Remix collection on November 2, 2026 — one special-edition jersey per team, built from each city's culture, history and landmarks. Here's the consolidated ranking pulled from the big media lists.
Consensus read: the Anaheim Ducks own the top spot on nearly every list (Mighty Ducks throwback done right), with Buffalo, Washington, Pittsburgh and Carolina filling out the top tier. The Chicago Blackhawks and Vegas Golden Knights are the most divisive — some lists bottom them out entirely.
The tier list
S = instant classic, A = strong, B = solid but safe, C = forgettable, D = back to the drawing board.
| Tier | Team | Why it lands there |
|---|---|---|
| S | Anaheim Ducks | Green/purple/gold Mighty Ducks nostalgia with the flying-V sleeves and an "Orange County" stitch — top-3 on essentially every list |
| S | Buffalo Sabres | The goathead returns with a red-eyed crest and metallic gold — a throwback remix fans actually wanted |
| S | Washington Capitals | Capitol Dome crest, screaming eagle shoulders, marble yoke — peak Ovechkin-era nostalgia timed perfectly |
| S | Pittsburgh Penguins | Andy Warhol pop-art penguin in light blue — the boldest swing in the set and the #1 pick on some lists |
| S | Carolina Hurricanes | Stormy the Ice Hog finally gets the spotlight — personality the franchise needed |
| A | Nashville Predators | Full country-music stage wear — filigree detailing everywhere; the most committed theme in the collection |
| A | Toronto Maple Leafs | 100 years of franchise logos on the hem, arched wordmark — classy tribute, held back by loud sleeve striping |
| A | Los Angeles Kings | Purple returns, Hollywood lettering, palm trees on the sleeves, six diamonds for six decades |
| A | Calgary Flames | Red and gold kept simple; the gold hem shaped like the Saddledome roof is the detail that sells it |
| A | Florida Panthers | Divisive coral sunrise beach-shirt look — top-10 on one list, bottom-5 on another; we land on "bold enough to work" |
| B | Columbus Blue Jackets | Grey base with oversized "Arch City" sleeve striping — a real idea, not just a recolor |
| B | New York Islanders | The infamous Fisherman crest returns cleaned up — a rehabilitation, not a repeat |
| B | Seattle Kraken | Anchor centerpiece with rhododendron hem — safe, nautical, could've pushed the palette further |
| B | Winnipeg Jets | Northern lights gradient sleeves — great concept, middling execution |
| B | San Jose Sharks | Scuba blue and shark-teeth striping, undercut by an oversized SJ crest |
| B | Vegas Golden Knights | The single most divisive jersey — casino felt, roulette sleeves and card-suit numbers; #10 on one list, dead last on another |
| B | Montreal Canadiens | Tradition-heavy as expected; dignified, safe, unlikely to offend or thrill anyone |
| C | Minnesota Wild | Dark base with one pop of color — a pattern shared by most of the bottom half |
| C | Philadelphia Flyers | Liberty Bell and Philly history theme in grey — idea over execution |
| C | Ottawa Senators | Dark and one-note; a missed chance on a franchise with room to experiment |
| C | Vancouver Canucks | Skyline and waterfront inspiration that reads as "blue that does nothing" |
| C | Colorado Avalanche | Muted take that doesn't leverage the state's landscape as much as it could |
| C | St. Louis Blues | Clean but indistinct — gets lost in the mid-pack with Tampa |
| C | Tampa Bay Lightning | Another blue jersey that could belong to anyone |
| C | Detroit Red Wings | Minimal deviation from the classic look — Motor City deserved more |
| C | New Jersey Devils | Dark base, single accent — forgettable |
| D | Boston Bruins | Late-20s on most lists — uninspired for an Original Six brand |
| D | New York Rangers | Surprisingly bland for a franchise with this much iconography to mine |
| D | Dallas Stars | Near the bottom on consensus — flat and forgettable |
| D | Utah Mammoth | A blue jersey for the league's newest team was an anticlimax — flagged as a flop on multiple lists |
| D | Edmonton Oilers | Bottom-three material — dark base, no story |
| D | Chicago Blackhawks | Dead last on the Sportsnet ranking: a green sweater for a team whose color isn't green; thrift-store bound, though a minority defends it |
