The original “Ol’ Blasty” as Blasty was orignally called was met with a heap of controversy. For many fans, this rendition of the horse-head uniform represents a period of darkness. For me, it represents the emergence of Jarome Iginla.

This jersey goes hard. It has more red than the current version, but I think it’s mostly nostalgia that has it bumping the current version off of the podium.
