The NHL and adidas released their World Cup of Hockey jerseys for the eight teams competing in this year’s tournament on Wednesday.

Which ones worked? Which ones didn’t? We rank them here.

Keep in mind our rankings are based on how these jerseys compare to others in this collection and to ones previously worn in international events. Except of course for the two phony teams that were made up for this tournament because Switzerland and Slovakia can’t have nice things.

And here … we … go.

8. Team Europe

Team Europe is truly the deformed cousin chained up in the basement of the World Cup of Hockey. It’s a hodgepodge of every player from a country outside the Continental Six, although it primarily serves as a way to ensure Anze Kopitar gets to experience the World Cup.

Credit where it’s due: We love any logo that takes a few moments to dissect (hello, Milwaukee Brewers’ ‘MB’ mitt). So the hockey stick helping to form the letter ‘E’ for ‘Everyone But Swedes, Finns, Russians and Czechs” is pretty sweet, although uncomfortably evocative of ENRON.

But the whole two-tone look is atrocious. We get the whole “unity” think they’re going for, but you end up with a unintentional Frankenjersey instead. As for the color scheme, it reminds you of toothpaste. And you never want to remind anyone of toothpaste, said the New York Islanders.

7. Team Czech

This is … Slovakia?

Wait, no … Sokovia, where Ultron was hiding?

The Czech jersey is just fine. If anything, it’s a cleaner, more modern look that we usually see from them, although nothing here compares to that “flag” jersey from Sochi, which was all kinds of fun. This is boring by comparison.

Obviously this jersey shoots up the rankings if and when Jagr puts it on, as he elevates everything with his Jagrocity.

6. Team Canada
