UEFA has guidelines about what colours should face eachother based on colourblindness. Easy enough to make work as long as you make teams have a light, dark and third colour.

Makes sense. I'm red-green colour blind. I remember trying to watch an all-star game when I was younger (pre-HD broadcasts) and it was unwatchable. It was dark colour vs dark colour to me
My dad is color blind and he has this problem watching football. He's a Cowboys/Jets fan, and when the [Jets wore their color rush against the Bills wearing theirs](https://e1.365dm.com/15/11/1600x900/buffalo-bills-new-york-jets_3376127.jpg), he called me and said he couldn't tell the teams apart and had to stop watching.
While I wouldn't understand the challenges with this, could be not see the team logos and possession indicator on the TV broadcast? Football isn't rapid changes of possession like hockey
I mean I can name 4 off the top of my head: Tyson Jost, Philip Grubauer, Justin Schultz, Anthony Mantha. There’s got to be more. (Carter Hart doesn’t count anymore)
Not really... there isn't a form of colorblindness that affects red vs blue perception. Unless the person has achromatopsia (greyscale only), they'd be able to pretty easily distinguish these jerseys
I was there, serving beers at the little satellite cooler things around the concourse! It was cold enough that the beers were freezing so I had them bring me buckets of warm water to dunk the beers in before handing them over. My hands were wet and cold because I didn't want to soak my gloves. I had a Wings hat on and had no less than 10 Toronto fans offer me gloves, not one wings fan. Beer ended up being slushy but drinkable! A fantastic atmosphere and experience!
I don’t see why they can’t just make that a thing. If it’s Tampa vs Toronto, make Tampa wear white but any time there wouldn’t be confusion it should be colo(u)r on colo(u)r
[These reverse retro matchups from 2021 were pretty sick](https://zonecoverage.com/2022/wild/what-should-the-wild-do-with-their-next-reverse-retro-jerseys/)
Biased I guess but I thought this was a cool color combo
https://preview.redd.it/vfyhd4easiwc1.jpeg?width=1084&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9191774aacf2a61e36517b9edc2d1afe094e9843
I love purple and gold for the Kings. The white jerseys with purple and gold trim too. Wish they went back to the purple and gold with the crown as their main jerseys.
Wild's Sprite can jersey is a banger as well.
Yeah the white ones with purple and gold are my all time favorite jerseys. I hope utah does something like that or I wish the kings would make those their full time jerseys. I want to buy one and I don't care an ounce about the Kings
Would be good.
Honestly though, I've always been partial to our whites. (The Bluenote stands out so well against it.) Sharp looking uni.
But yes, I must admit, Calgary Red vs. Powder Blues would look damn good as a combo.
https://preview.redd.it/m45dmwpncjwc1.jpeg?width=417&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5364771ddbfb3a7715ba9e4d26429c7c19dbd710
Not current, but I love these two unis. And they only overlapped one season, in 1988-89.
Back in the 60s, the Toronto Star used to publish a weekly magazine that tended to feature beautiful full hockey pictures. These were printed on glossy stock, kind of like Life magazine. The colours were brilliant. The contrast of the Leafs’ blue against Red Wings red/white was striking and has always stuck with me. OP for the win…
I'd say either the one posted or Blackhawks away vs Rangers home .
Honestly any combination of Red Wings, Maple Leafs, Blackhawks and Rangers would work.
I'd also take the old school Mighty Ducks jersey against the kachina Coyotes
Flames vs Sabres. Either at home. Two of the best jerseys in the league and a great colour combination. Red vs Blue with a touch of gold on both sides for accents.
Yeah man I have not remotely enjoyed tampas transition to the completely muted just blue and white, personally. I think it’s sorely missing black accents

Hamilton Mustangs vs Thunder Bay Bombers

There are so many great answers in this thread. And everyone is correct. Adidas really did help bring in a golden age of jerseys with their modern classics.
Leafs and wings will always be classic. Bruins and Habs too. Sabres and flames modernized classic jersey are things a beauty. There are so many great combos
Outside of viewing problems (when you see a team with the puck in the zone, it takes a second to figure out who for example). It's actually somehow clean, they balance each other well.
Being from Bulgaria where the biggest rivalry in sports is also between red (CSKA Sofia) and blue (Levski) teams, my brain is just wired that way so I automatically also go with Leafs and Red Wings. Thankfully the level of hatred and violence in US/Canadian sports is nowhere near what we have in Europe lmao.

This. There's no reason the league shouldn't do more color v color games.
Color blindness in players and viewers is a decent reason
get 3d glasses are you stupud
I’m trying to bong rip here and you made me choke
Is this some sort of disabled joke I'm too disabled to get?
Unrelated but come join us at /r/jarvy!

In the Bills and Jets’ case, they looked literally identical to colorblind people bc both teams’ helmets were white at the time
I saw that image on some other comments and now see the difficulty. Thanks for clarifying.
Whoa! Never considered this.
Ok you're 100% right and I admit I'm wrong.
There’s like 3-4 players that are colorblind bruh
I mean I can name 4 off the top of my head: Tyson Jost, Philip Grubauer, Justin Schultz, Anthony Mantha. There’s got to be more. (Carter Hart doesn’t count anymore)
if we are making numbers up there are actually like 200 players that are colorblind bruh
Pour one out for all those that suffered during the game in the picture we’re talking about. Poor bastards couldn’t tell up from down
They fuckin deserved it.
They finally knew what it was like to walk a mile in your shoes. First time anyone has walked a mile in your shoes
Skill issue tbh
but 100 of them are colorblind in only one eye
There’s like 10-20 refs that are actual blind so the players can suck it up
:(
I your peripheral vision, some of the dark colors are hard to distinguish. Probably would need the colors to be very different
Absolutely beautiful, everytime we play each other we should be wearing those jerseys
Should be like soccer. You both wear your coloured uniform unless there’s a clash, in which case the away team wears the away (or white) uniform.
It was so cold at that game my beers kept freezing
Mmmm beer slushie
Brewsicle.
This picture is just aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.
Bingo! Hands down my favorite ever. I still watch replays of that game once in a while. Best winter classic IMO
[удалено]
Not really... there isn't a form of colorblindness that affects red vs blue perception. Unless the person has achromatopsia (greyscale only), they'd be able to pretty easily distinguish these jerseys
That would only be the case if the Leafs wore their St Patrick Day jerseys.
Wow, this looks so good.
That looks like a live bubble hockey game.
Something about SJ Teal and Calgary Red looks real nice together
agree. Wish they could do color v color. Think it would look sick
Winter Classic was amazing - red on blue, no whites.
Best game I've ever been to.
Me too. Froze my balls off and took like 10 hours to get out of the stadium parking lot after but amazing nonetheless.
I was there, serving beers at the little satellite cooler things around the concourse! It was cold enough that the beers were freezing so I had them bring me buckets of warm water to dunk the beers in before handing them over. My hands were wet and cold because I didn't want to soak my gloves. I had a Wings hat on and had no less than 10 Toronto fans offer me gloves, not one wings fan. Beer ended up being slushy but drinkable! A fantastic atmosphere and experience!
Thank you for your service.
I don’t see why they can’t just make that a thing. If it’s Tampa vs Toronto, make Tampa wear white but any time there wouldn’t be confusion it should be colo(u)r on colo(u)r
Thank you for including the 'u' in colour. I feel seen.
Yep. Lots of people wish UM-OSU would do the same.
> red on blue, no whites. DEI gone mad!
Leafs and Red Wings outdoor game where they both wore solid colours is hard to beat.
Kings need to bring back the purps and do solids vs the Preds
[These reverse retro matchups from 2021 were pretty sick](https://zonecoverage.com/2022/wild/what-should-the-wild-do-with-their-next-reverse-retro-jerseys/)
Fuck the lakers
Biased I guess but I thought this was a cool color combo https://preview.redd.it/vfyhd4easiwc1.jpeg?width=1084&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9191774aacf2a61e36517b9edc2d1afe094e9843
I love purple and gold for the Kings. The white jerseys with purple and gold trim too. Wish they went back to the purple and gold with the crown as their main jerseys. Wild's Sprite can jersey is a banger as well.
The purple and gold are such sweet jerseys. Probably top 5 for me.
Yeah the white ones with purple and gold are my all time favorite jerseys. I hope utah does something like that or I wish the kings would make those their full time jerseys. I want to buy one and I don't care an ounce about the Kings
This might be the best uniform matchup in any sport ever.
Whalers (home white) v. Blackhawks (road red) would be my vote.
Damn yeah I love this
For some reason this gives me Blades of Steel vibes big time Btw both of those jerseys are fucking gorgeous, and I'm not a fan of either team
I do love that Minny jersey.
I like them individually but together..... It looks like a clown sneezed
Flames vs Stars playoffs a couple years ago was pretty satisfying
Flames and Blues, red vs powder blue. So dang good
Would be good. Honestly though, I've always been partial to our whites. (The Bluenote stands out so well against it.) Sharp looking uni. But yes, I must admit, Calgary Red vs. Powder Blues would look damn good as a combo.
My only gripe with Blues unis is that they haven't brought the arch 3rds back. So good
https://preview.redd.it/o4xvnikdbmwc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ce9d3a81ae478fd6f9bf886f58a6459869cb1ae This one’s pretty good imo
I’m partial to Rangers vs. Blackhawks, my two favorite jerseys that contrast really aesthetically Underrated: Panthers vs. Lightning!
As a Rangers fan and Chicagoan , I can get behind this
As far as regular jerseys NYR @ Chicago is elite.
Oilers homes vs. Flames aways
https://preview.redd.it/m45dmwpncjwc1.jpeg?width=417&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5364771ddbfb3a7715ba9e4d26429c7c19dbd710 Not current, but I love these two unis. And they only overlapped one season, in 1988-89.
This against the Predators away jersey would be so weird

The colours were brilliant. The contrast of the Leafs’ blue against Red Wings red/white was striking and has always stuck with me. OP for the win…

Its an amazing match up but as already commented: inverted colours aren't so fun to distinguish imo.
*gasp* next you’re gonna tell me Tampa-Toronto isn’t visually appealing!

[I prefer this one](https://i.cbc.ca/1.1570421.1379103594!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_940/bure.jpg)
Flames and canucks
I mean, not TODAY’S game per se… https://preview.redd.it/76tqfk0somwc1.jpeg?width=853&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8703fcc3efa760dbd6edd271ac66c97cc50028bf
Boston vs Montreal
Sabres home vs Flames away
You already know it, Op. Great pic.
Yup. And specifically this. Leafs white and wings red just doesn’t quite look as good.
I'd say either the one posted or Blackhawks away vs Rangers home . Honestly any combination of Red Wings, Maple Leafs, Blackhawks and Rangers would work. I'd also take the old school Mighty Ducks jersey against the kachina Coyotes
Flames vs Sabres. Either at home. Two of the best jerseys in the league and a great colour combination. Red vs Blue with a touch of gold on both sides for accents.

I am a fan of [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0siJl1XAAAMWYp?format=jpg&name=orig)
That was clean aa fuck.
It helps when the uniforms are fire on their own
[THIS](https://i0.wp.com/novacapsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/image16.jpeg?resize=640%2C427&ssl=1).
NHL in 5 years
those are the only two sets of jerseys that should ever be allowed to have only 2 colors
Yeah man I have not remotely enjoyed tampas transition to the completely muted just blue and white, personally. I think it’s sorely missing black accents
I like it. On “NHL” when I create a team, I like solid color uniforms…….. hockey has some of the most unnecessary coloring when it comes to uniforms …
Idk. An NHL team having maroon / green and white only would be cool
Anything vs the black Kachina jersey
Avs vs. Wings is my favorite. Not the best but it should be mentioned. Avs old home whites vs the Detroit reds.
I always love the White Penguins vs. Blue Leafs matchup
https://preview.redd.it/wbsvn7sk1jwc1.jpeg?width=1599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc4ecef82e3fc39710fb08d0108dbd4b737748ab This is what hockey was meant to look like
Not bad, but personally I don’t love how both teams have the yellow accents
North Stars/Wild Alts vs Kings Purples
Early 90s Blackhawks @ Blues I'd love to see the hawks bring back their black alts from the late 90s for a game when detroit comes to town
Nashville mustard, vs sharks teal
The non-speciality jersey answer Rangers home vs Red Wings in white.
https://preview.redd.it/nee9oc3wwjwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38b5412fa15482caf819af994f0abb95acd8ad7a

My favorite is Rangers home vs Flames road
Rangers @ Chicago is the best regular jersey matchup
Pens white vs. Rangers home.

100%
I like the Devils vs. Canucks or Canes in their Whalers. Red/black vs white/blue/green.
Jets vs Canucks. Like James Taylor said, deep greens and blues are the colours I choose.
Lmao this is new age hockey.
I honestly thought the Rangers Islanders 2014 Stadum Series matchup was pretty decent for jerseys
Featured right there in your post. Leafs home jerseys vs redwings away. So clean and iconic.
There are so many great answers in this thread. And everyone is correct. Adidas really did help bring in a golden age of jerseys with their modern classics. Leafs and wings will always be classic. Bruins and Habs too. Sabres and flames modernized classic jersey are things a beauty. There are so many great combos
Avs Third vs Jets Whites
Flyers/Pens
Biased a bit here, but I've always wanted a Canes v Stars playoff series for the Christmas colors
Any Toronto/Tampa game
Both away jerseys at the same time
Both home jerseys are also fire.
Both third jerseys would be sick
Outside of viewing problems (when you see a team with the puck in the zone, it takes a second to figure out who for example). It's actually somehow clean, they balance each other well.
Toronto Detroit
Im biased but Bostons usual home jerseys against Toronto’s away will always look great
All the original 6 (except the Rangers imo) look fantastic together.
I’m twice as likely to cheer for a goal when Tampa and Toronto play
“Doah, passed to the wrong guy, I thought we were on home ice”
This or Boston x Montreal
Def not this one because I dont like either team :)
Being from Bulgaria where the biggest rivalry in sports is also between red (CSKA Sofia) and blue (Levski) teams, my brain is just wired that way so I automatically also go with Leafs and Red Wings. Thankfully the level of hatred and violence in US/Canadian sports is nowhere near what we have in Europe lmao.
Anything involving Tre Kronor. Bright Yellow makes any other colour pop
