Arizona Coyotes Uniform History – Review
By Chris Reid
The Green Alternate (1998-2003)
In 1998, the Coyotes introduced a green alternate sweater and uniform that has been called many things by many people. Some, on various message boards, have called the alternate green jersey the “ugliest jersey” ever created. Others appreciate the unique design and concepts. The look is one that expands upon the desert/southwest theme of the base uniform designs. In 2000 a white outline was added to the crest on the uniform which makes the crest logo “pop” more. Personally, I liked the design and have one in my collection with lettering for Jeremy Roenick. It is still one of my favorite sweaters.
Here is a view of that uniform under what is considered one of the most controversial moments in Coyotes hockey history. The moment Derian Hatcher broke Jeremy Roenick’s jaw and sealed the fate of the Coyotes that playoff season.
