Ottawa Senators

You know those EA Sports NHL video games that let you create your own team and insert them into the NHL? That’s the vibe you get when you look at the Ottawa Senators uniforms. While the black and red color scheme is spot on, the create-a-team type of logo makes this among the league’s worst looks.

Fortunately, the Senators had a former team that donned some sleek uniforms and they have worn the uniform as throwbacks. So hopefully, they will get wise and wear the look, or a variation of it, on a permanent basis. If not, then this team will remain in the Atlantic’s basement as far as uniforms go.

And in a division that prides itself on some old school looks, even in the 21st century, there is hope for the Senators. But first, they need to realize their mistakes and ditch their current getups. However, I will cut them some slack. The latest incarnation of their uniform far exceeds the previous one.
