A brief history of NHL uniforms

An interesting read that I found while searching to find the year the NHL began wearing dark uniforms at home. Twenty years later and I still hate it. Interferes with the memories of the great Hab teams at the forum. All things change but I really wish this hadn't, particularly since the only reason was more revenue

Nice find, DC ... excellent history ... here's a cut and paste ...

Cheers.

In Nova Scotia, the Windsor Swastikas used the ancient symbol of good luck on their sweaters. They won several championships during the 1910s. With the symbol’s new use in Nazi Germany in 1933, the team decided to change the emblem. The Toronto 228th battalion, a team of hockey players in the army, appeared for the 1917 season in khaki jerseys. Needless to say, the choice of colour was not a big hit with the fans.
