The Stanley Cup Finals match-up is all set, the Pittsburgh Penguins will take on the San Joe Sharks in a battle of two aquatic animals. Game one is set for Monday at 8pm Eastern, which means you'll have to get your Playoff Pool picks in before then. The winner of the pool has already been determined, but you can still play for fun.
That's enough playoff talk for now though, instead let's talk about a team who never won a single playoff game, the Atlanta Thrashers. No the Thrashers weren't a very good hockey team, but in my opinion they were a good looking team, there's only one Thrashers jersey I dislike. So today, in honour of our ongoing Thrashers Redesign competition, I'm going to rank all six Atlanta Thrashers jerseys.
6) 2007-11 White Road Jersey

My least favourite Thrashers jersey was their white Reebok Edge sweater. There's not much to like here, it was a template shared with the Flyers and it had unnecessary piping on the front. The only thing I liked about this jersey was that it kept the unique design in the collar.
5) 2008-11 Georgia Bronze Third Jersey

The Thrashers last third jersey wasn't very popular, but I actually thought it was pretty good. The design was very unique, not only the striping pattern but also other details like the oversized shoulder logos. It's not my favourite Thrashers jersey, but it's probably their most underrated jersey.
4) 2003-07 Thrasher Ice Blue Third/Home Jersey

Next up is the Thrashers original third jersey (which became their home jersey for one year). I was a fan of the asymmetrical arm design, but I always thought the hem stripes looked out of place on this jersey.
3) 2007-11 Thrasher Ice Blue Home Jersey

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I thought this jersey improved when the side panels replaced the hem stripes. The side panels just seemed to fit with the asymmetrical arm design better.
2) 1999-2007 White Home/Road Jersey

In my opinion the Thrashers were a team who got it right with their original jerseys. I loved the the pattern on the hem stripes and the design on the arms.
1) 1999-2006 Atlanta Midnight Blue Road/Home Jersey

The original midnight blue jersey beats out their white jersey because it's able to use more maroon and yellow. The white jersey just wasn't as colourful.
Which Thrashers jersey was your favourite (or least favourite)? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
