Need more reason to loathe the Chicago Blackhawks?

Look no further than this poll conducted by NHL.com, which featured more than 6 million votes cast from Nov. 28-Dec. 31 and the choices included uniforms from all eras and the contest was conducted in a head-to-head format.

Vote totals for individual jerseys weren't released.

Not only did Chicago's current uniform, which it's had from 1959-present, top the chart, but its 1956-59 Black Hawks jerseys came in 21st.

The Hartford Whalers' jerseys from 1979-1992 were the runners-up, the Anaheim Ducks' from 1993-2006 were third and the Quebec Nordiques' from 1979-1995 finished fourth.

The Minnesota Wild found no home in the top 25, while the Minnesota North Stars' uniforms from 1978-81 rounded out the top-five in fifth place.

Chicago 2, Minnesota 1

The Blackhawks beat the State of Hockey, again.
