As inspired by [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1cflb0g/oc_every_single_color_used_in_the_nfl/), here’s a compendium of every unique color used across NHL jerseys. A few ground rules:
* I opted not to total up black and white, as except for the “heritage white” beige color they’re virtually identical across all teams.
* Coyotes are not included as they are sadly dead.
* For the most part, I stuck to colors featured prominently in jerseys and/or crests, and omitted those that are only used in small amounts/as trim – as a result, the Sharks’ orange (just the eye/stick) does not appear here, and neither does the silver (trim) of the Canucks.
* I stuck to just primary sets and alternates, so no colors from outdoor game jerseys here.

#Notes:
* There’s lots of similar shades or generic names – shoutout to Columbus/Minnesota/Seattle/Winnipeg for unique names, even if the shades aren’t/
* Almost half the league uses the exact same shade of red in some way. Pretty crazy.
* The three shades of “royal blue” are not all the same blue – while the Sabres and Islanders use the same, the Oilers’ is a little darker.

Lightning really couldn’t pick any other shade of blue to go with their white eh?
LA really has to bring back purple
Really Blues? Blue? Cmon
If Utah isn’t purple I will be disappointed
This is interesting. Thank you for the effortpost.
I don’t care what the Utah team calls itself as long as the name lends itself to the colour purple
I love my team but hate that shade of blue. Wish it was a dark/navy blue.
Stars fumbled when they left the dark green for the victory green, imo. I know everyone loves the new green but damn those gold/dark green jerseys looked so nice.
I’m going to convince myself that the shades of blues/reds/grays are ever so slightly different from team to team
The idea that these teams have the exact same colors as each other just feels wrong
As a Jets fan I feel like the actual colour of their jerseys is missing? Like the two shown are much lighter than the primary colour of their home jerseys are they not?
The Ducks 🍆🍆🍆 jerseys always were my favourite.
Is the shade of red the Canucks use different on the current jersey than the 90s version? And yellow as well?
Where did the dark orange for the Oilers come from? What uniform has it?
We clearly need more pink and purple.
For the Rangers, is the blue used on the jersey and the dark blue used for the crest and name / number lettering?
teal is blue no?
Hurricanes blue? Wha?
Still unbelievable the Lightning are just getting away with wearing a Leafs uniform for more than 30 years now.
I said it in response to another comment, but how is the “Blue” used by St Louis and the Leafs the same HEX code as the “Royal Blue” used by the Sabres and Islanders?
Penguins 3rd jersey was blue right?
Capitals blue?
I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t go for the Princess Bride “Mostly Dead” in reference to the Coyotes.
The Wild branding team lost some steam along the way
Iron Range Red! Minnesota Wheat! Harvest Gold!……..Green!
Missing Capitlas Blue and Kings purple.
As someone who’s colorblind this is super hilarious because most of these just look like a large block of the same color to me 😂
I’m here for the Bruins brown.
Utah should be purple. League needs a purple team
Utah definitely needs to use purple as their primary. Or go left field and go pink. Something we haven’t seen 31 times
I could look at that ice blue all day 😮💨
That’s actually really fucking weird. I was literally thinking yesterday “I wonder if people see the Sharks Teal as a Blue-Teal or a Green-Teal”
Now if only the Ducks could remember what their colors are… ‘Plum’ my ass
Good job…Blackhawks are missing on over half the colours!!
