Home Or Road Sweaters?

from Paul Lukas of ESPN,

Until 1951, some NHL teams had only one uniform, so the question of what to wear at home was often moot. In 1955, the league mandated that teams wear colors at home and white on the road. That arrangement was reversed in 1970, when teams began wearing white at home. And then it was reversed again in 2003, when teams went back to wearing colors at home, the format that's still in place today.

That brings up one of those classic questions that fans can debate for hours: Which uniform is better at home: white or colors?

And then there's a related but distinct question: Does a hockey team look better wearing a white uniform or a colored uniform?

Uni Watch has always been in favor of NHL teams wearing white at home. Part of this is no doubt because your friendly uniform columnist grew up in the white-at-home era, but there's more to it than that. The feeling here at Uni Watch HQ is that most NHL teams just look better in white.
