Total Votes: 15,910
Chicago hasn't actually done much on the ice in recent years, but they always look good in their classic red threads. Some traditionalists would argue the Blackhawks have one of the most timeless jerseys, especially since the sweater has undergone so few changes over the years. The Panthers haven't made the playoffs in six seasons, so we almost felt obligated to give them a little love in our bracket. Florida would have gotten in on its own merits, however, as their jersey underwent a drastic change this offseason. Gone are the horizontal stripes and diamond-like shoulders, but the pouncing cat still remains.
