I can't think of anything besides the Jaguars baby blue that stands out as much for me. What else?

The dark, Forest Green colors of the Rams. Opposed to that "lime" green color of Edina, Rosemount, EGF, old Roseau teams...etc..

Always liked the orange crush, but the Rapids jersey quality always looked crap IMO. Don't hate me.

Black B'ville '80s jerseys. Not the white, blah.

Fashion statement: '84 Kennedy and those long pants they wore. They looked like gentlemen. I'm sure they weren't the first to wear them, but they're the first I remember as a kid. And they beat B'ville in the qtrs with a couple long slappers. I forgive them though cause they did it with style.

Black and anything seems to work. Have a bias to orange (WBL) or red (Roch JM), but any pretty much will do.

Wow - I totally forgot about those!!! Those go back a ways with the clear boards at the Civie!

I like Duluth East's white jersies, their black ones aren't bad either, just the whites looked better. Cloquets whites are unique with the lumberjack on them, I gotta agree with B'villes black ones in the 80's. Also Hibbings blues - simple.

I never liked Jeffersons off blue hue. Just never looked right. Hill Murray's greens always looked pretty good in the 80's.

Moorheads black jersies were pretty good in the early 90's. So were Duluth Centrals reds, which looked like Wisconsin's, with the lettering running diagonal down the jersey.

Gotta go with the Purple

Cloquet and International Falls pull them off real well I think

I liked Burnsville's all black look in their section ship game this year

Those were tight! All black jersey, helmets, breezers and socks!

What about Red Wing?

green/white
black/gold or yellow
black/orange

hm's new slick black jerseys are sick. i love them

Speaking of purple - there's a St. Paul team that has worn it fairly well... in several sports.

For Minnesota high school hockey, you gotta love green and white - whether you're a Ram, Hornet, Pioneer, etc. the green has mustered a lot of hardware and great memories for players and fans.

i too like jeffersons baby blue
but another good looking jersey is east grand forks

Blaine has also been rockin' the baby blue lately.

Blake's green/blue combo is different, I guess.

I like the NU purple, Blaine's, LDC's

White Bear always looks good in their all black. Most teams do though as well. I never really realized the amount of green we have in high school hockey, crazy.

R'villes--are they black with a wee bit of white? They were pretty good.

Warroads dark jerseys can be kind of intimidating!

I thought Andover's were actually kind of cool... Black and gold, but it's that lighter color gold - not "Burnsville" gold. It's a little different anyway. Picture Purdue playing hockey.

Every school that hasn't added black to their unis or changed traditional school colors to include black are the winners... Jefferson, Roseau, CDH (even though I hate purple), Cloquet (ditto), Blaine, Hopkins... all winners.

The whole black thing has gotten real old... Edina and Hill-Murray need to bring back the gold, and add Johnson to the long list of schools who need to dump the black.

I hate Edina green. Hill green is almost as bad.

You would like the NU purple...too bad they won't be seen anymore this year

Blaine's baby blue jerseys are very good looking. The Chaska team looked pretty cool when I watched them vs. AHA in their all black. B-ville stands out, and so does WBL's orange breezers. Roseau, HM, and Edina all look good. (Must be something about that green and white combo for me.) Maple Grove had awsome alt. jerseys.

All hats I own are tipped for Bl. Jefferson, astonishing.

Bemidji had a great looking jersey in the early '70s, light blue with red trim. I'm having a Gary Sargent version made, unfortunately it won't be ready for this year's tourney but I'll wear it next year.

I agree with Govs on the black, if black's not part of your school colors it shouldn't be part of your jersey (I'm looking at you Hill Murray and Little Falls). I believe that Edina's current jerseys are reminiscent of Edina East's so they do have some tradition but I prefer the yellow trim. Burnsville's all black jerseys with no trim or striping are ugly, they look like warmup jerseys.

I like seeing Grand Rapids in their throwback orange jerseys, but the "GR" jerseys are cool too. I also like all the old favorites, Jefferson, Duluth East, Warroad, Cloquet.

Chris - Way to dis your your old tribe. Cooch has brought the program and the unis to a new level and you are one of the few dissenters. Just wait until you see the purple ensemble they unveil on Weds. @ 6:00 PM. The Flyers unis are #1 followed by the Kelly Green and Gold of the Hornets.
