Edmonton Oilers: Worst Items for Sale on Shop.NHL.Com
By Sammi Silber
We all love the Edmonton Oilers and are always looking to add new fan clothing and memorabilia to the mix. However, some of the items for sale on our favorite NHL shopping site, shop.nhl.com, are just… well, no. Here are five items for sale on the website, ranked in order of how horrifyingly ugly they are.

5. Oilers On The Run Backpack
Sure, this backpack is handy. It can hold multiple items, including a special place for your laptop. However, it is small and hideous looking, and the colors don’t help. A poop-colored brown bag mixed with the Oilers logo is not a way to go for a backpack. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this backpack a 4. It’s useful, but the colors and design have to go. You can take a look at the bag below.

4. Oilers Wedges
This is an item for all the women NHL fans out there. We love the women’s NHL jerseys and player shirts among other things. However, there is one item on the site that is not pleasing to the eyes at all. I give you these Oilers NHL wedges. They feature a black shoe with a bulletin-board looking wedge. If that doesn’t make you cringe, there are two bedazzled logos: the NHL shield on the back of the heel and the Oilers logo on the front of the shoe. The worst part is that the logos are so bedazzled with excessive rhinestones that they make for the ugliest pair of heels I’ve seen in a long time. If you’re still interested in these shoes, here’s the link.

3. Oilers Storm Cross-Checking Jersey
This jersey is just… well, it’s grey. It’s dark and grey and tries to bring a cool, new edge to the line of Oilers jerseys. However, it is not as cool as they think. The jersey is two shades of dark grey, and the Oilers logo has only a bit of neon orange in it. The whole jersey itself looks more like a Halloween edition than something you would wear to a game. The dark colors and not one shade of royal blue takes away from the traditional, authentic Oilers jersey. If you wanna check it out, click below.
2. High Heel Wine Bottle Holder
I don’t understand why the NHL’s shop site has an obsession with heels. Although fashionable and funny to have a heel wine holder, the Oilers colors clash and it makes no sense, making the item seem clownish and odd, as well as out-of-place. The fake heel is bedazzled with rhinestones as well… dear NHL, we females do NOT love rhinestones on shoes, nor are we obsessed with them. This product is more crazy than savvy. Here’s a link.

1. Oilers Crocs
These two words should not be put together in a sentence. Heck, crocs should not be in any sentence. These Oilers crocs are black and have the logo right at the top on a white piece of plastic. If you wear these in public people will be asking WHAT ARE THOSE??????????? Please do not buy these, because crocs are not hip, even though they are truly comfortable. This is a fashion hazard. If you won’t listen to my warnings, see for yourself below.
