St. Patrick's Day is a time when NHL teams get creative with their uniforms, and that's yielded some terrific results over the years. In the lead up to the big night, theScore counts down the top five St. Patrick's Day uniforms.
No. 1: 2015 Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins wanted a way to better previous editions of their special green, St. Patrick's Day jerseys in 2015, so they reached out to a professor at nearby Carnegie Mellon University for Gaelic translations of their players' names.
Sidney Crosby (Crosbaigh) and Evgeni Malkin (Maolchin), along with the rest of their Penguins teammates, wore the jerseys prior to a game against the Boston Bruins, with their names written in Gaelic calligraphy on the backs.
