2. 2008-09 to 2017-18 Alternates

You guys saw this coming, right? I love these jerseys so much. The black/red/grey balance is incredible, and they look so sharp on the ice.

The one thing I would change is the hurricane flags on the bottom, the ‘tropical storm’ logo, and the diagonal striping on the sleeves and socks.

Other than those three small gripes, these jerseys are [insert Italian chef’s kiss here].

These alternates were the very first alternate jerseys the Carolina Hurricanes ever wore, and they dropped jaws around the league when they unveiled them. They finally used their secondary color as a primary, and it paid off. These beauties remain some of the hardest jerseys to find to this day, so if you have one hang onto it (unless you wanna sell it to me, in which case, slide into my Twitter DMs).

Before we move on to #1, I’d like to take some time and look at an honorable mention.
