The Kachina was approved by local Hopi and Navajo leaders, being based on the geometric shapes of the Hopi kachina dolls (specifically depictions of the trickster God coyote) and art, and the collar/waist and sleeve pattern based on Navajo trade blankets. It pays major homage to the unique flavors of the Arizona southwest. That's why its so loved here. Being probably the best logo used in the valley. It may look weird to people, but WE love it and that's what's important.

[@DesertDrifter]

If only that coyote was shown on peyote then again maybe he is. Legendary jersey. I Used to clown that jersey in the 90’s now love it.

[@huntercopeland9371]

I miss the Yotes wearing those and the Diamondbacks wearing the purple and teal. Such unique colors for both leagues.

[@893160007]

I doubt it happens, but I hope Seattle names their team the Totems after the old WHL team and allows a local indigenous artist to design the logo and jerseys. Not only would it pay homage to the team that played against the Canucks and almost joined the NHL, but it would also pay tribute to local communities the right way (unlike something like the Cleveland Indians' cartoon logo) .

[@toddkatz9390]

A Ghost In The Machine - a a beautifully written and informative comment !

[@ilovenerdygirls6872]

@@893160007 Agreed.

[@mayureshanmuhunthan3876]

The Kachina jersey is legendary

[@CaretakerWanted]

I'm not a Coyotes fan, but their Kachina jersey is amazing.

[@MarcB.8052]

my favorite type of logos in the nhl is the one with hockey sticks so i love the kachina its awesome

[@ricklepick8789]

Now imagine the coyote head jersey vs Tampa Bay's storm jersey.

[@jordancivic96]

Almost as bad as Anaheim's Mighty Wing jersey vs LA's Burger King jersey

[@jessebrierley8384]

Beautiful

[@AndrewBullard9170]

Would be a fun Stanley cup game

[@habguy822]

The floating coyote head in the sky comment reminded me of Homer Simpson on his pepper trip lol. But in all seriousness I always liked the old Coyotes jerseys. I'm not sure why they just were always more appealing to me.

[@drewdowns7128]

johnny cash voiced the coyote too!

[@spiechild]

Hey Shannon, you forgot about the third jersey, circa 2008, with the coyote running across the chest.

[@thekeegster6278]

I love the Coyotes and their jerseys! We’ve always had the cleanest jerseys in the league and we took a massive risk with this logo and jersey design and it’s paying off in spades! Let’s go Coyotes! 🐺🔴🏒

[@toriamansfield2999]

I love the kachina coyote design!

[@MakaiCollins]

Is it bad that i like the green alternate

[@pauliewalnuts2072]

Lmao I like it to

[@KevinJL]

It's cool

[@ghmongo]

I think it looks sweet.

[@blitzfullyy]

love it, and now the reverse retro is just the purple variation of it

[@coyotehowl7485]

love this team!❤️

[@MakaiCollins]

Same!

[@philtorrez4198]

Me too bud! Let’s go Yotes!!!

[@cbar7089]

Me too!!!

[@philtorrez4198]

I have one of the new Kachina 3rds. An OEL 23 with the “C” on it. A real thing of beauty.

[@jordancivic96]

THE COYOTE ON PEYOTE! love the original Kachina logo

[@pooksluciano9484]

Their jerseys are so under rated

[@andersnilsson8303]

"I'll take this rack and go". Excellent!

[@twepeler6549]

Still love my cactus jersey best thing I’ve ever bought myself that or the Tampa bay storm jersey

[@oceanshrugs9235]

Good taste

[@Wexter0083]

What about the Running Coyote jersey? I actually really like that one!

[@jonnynerot6711]

Same here 😄

[@sobbs2283]

Its an underrated jersey for sure

[@oceanshrugs9235]

That one is good but Kachina is better

[@MayhemmiGunn]

I like them all! I have an original Kachina style away jersey (also first AZ away) but the logo on the Kachina has started to peel around the edges. Can anyone recommend me how to fix that? Is fabric glue the best option, or is it better to sew it?

[@willemkucharski4925]

that jersey is the ugliest jersey ive evr seen

[@CheapSeatsSports]

I love those original Coyotes jerseys. It is very unique like you said and when you look at it it's obvious where it's from.

[@JoeSharabati]

I remember when they moved to Arizona from Winnipeg and the shoulder patch on the Kachina jerseys still had the "Goals For Kids" on one side and Phoenix Coyotes on the other. Back when they first came out, you can only get the "Goals for Kids" shoulder patch on the authentic jerseys. Not the replicas.

[@TheStunscsa]

You missed he Shane Doan running coyote one you have. I'm really interested on where you got that one at a price that wasn't insane

[@Nickleblanc41]

The Cactus jersey should be the main jersey

[@rileykazama3145]

Some of the Buddies I know call it the Peyote Jersey

[@davetechme]

The Kachina logo is a masterpiece. Glad they went back to it. Now if only the Ducks would return to their roots as well...

[@salvulcano406]

I’m a bruins fan but I love the coyotes. Something about their awesome jerseys and being an underdog I just can’t help but to root for them

[@jackb348]

It is one of those jerseys that everyone thought was godawful in the beginning to becoming thought of as one of the coolest hockey jerseys ever. If they could back to wearing this one (in white), all would be right again.

[@StevexOwnz]

remember the running coyote jersey?

[@BrettHornby]

Kinda want Arizona to go back to the kachina jerseys full-time.

[@Tkyeet]

Do you think the coyotes will move to Houston in the near future? I know that they paid for another year/season with Gila River stadium but there is speculation. I'm just curious on what your opinion is on this. I personally am a recent fan of the coycotes when I went to my first hockey game in Glendale last November, and now I'm in love with hockey. In all honesty I'd hate to see the yotes go. Plus I already bought two jerseys.

[@josepereira-hj5gd]

also, those early coyotes jerseys reminds of the one simpsons episode where Homer hallucinates and wonders into the desert

[@anonymousviewer1123]

you missed the running coyote third jersey!! that one was my favorite!

[@JohnDoe-ff2fc]

Designers of the 3rd jersey were inspired one night while camping under a moonless, midnight sky. They popped a few peyote buttons and the Great Coyote in the Sky appeared to them. And in It's honor, they bestowed upon the rest us their glorious vision represented by the jersey.

[@G7M9W]

I've loved the kachina jerseys since day one. I still have my original black Starter jersey from back in the day, and picked up another (Pro Player, also black) a while ago to wear on the ice (larger size to fit over the shoulder pads). Also, many Reebok jerseys are lacking the bottom stripes because their "uniform system" originally called for jerseys to be tucked in.

[@logandetwiler4483]

I love the first jersey from 1996. Green background

[@singlewalkrun]

I really like the rebrand with the stripes still on the bottom... also really like the lettering and numbers from that era too

[@AndrewBullard9170]

I’d just thought of something their current main coyote head off their main and put that on the Kachina , that would be gorgeous

[@RichardCourtney-]

Went from "OMG no" to well, "ok that was interesting", to "oh F no. In about 12 seconds. Thanks for the ride Shannon.

[@vandelayindustries5814]

very happy, i picked up the red, crying coyote, no bottom stripe jersey for $30 on ebay

[@chasewighton4064]

I love the logo on the Kachina jersey, I love that it includes both Hopi and Navajo artistic traditions, but I don't like the colours of the original jersey. I like the colours of the floating coyote head and now the Space Coyote RR much better. I know the team is going to make the Kachina their main jersey for the 21/22 season, but I kinda wish they'd change the colours a bit. Maybe use purple instead of the burgundy, or swap the green and burgundy for burgundy and orange/rust, or purple and orange/rust.

[@alejbr4]

living in the south burbs of chicago, a ton of people bought their first jerseys and some wanted the hawks to make a similiar jersey as 3rd

[@orlo4457]

one of my favorite sweaters of all time.. the OG Coyotes jersey

[@josepereira-hj5gd]

I loved them! big coyotes fan since 98 from boston

[@RoseCityRebel]

I’m glad someone likes the second logo more than the original too. I love the current logo

[@RubyWaves]

As a Coyotes fan, I prefer the Kachina logo way more than the current logo

[@markpalio4411]

Funny Story....When It Was Announced That The JETS Were Gonna Become The COYOTES-I Bought A Game Worn JETS Road Jersey To Wear To Games(Inaugural Season-Till 04) Just So Opposing Team Fans Didn't Know If I Was US Or Canadian Hockey Fan! Also To Stand Out Amongst The Thousands Of Fans. Till The NEW JETS Came Around-I Was Reminding NEWBIE Hockey Fans Of Where The 'YOTES Came From!! ;-)

[@TheBorderGeek]

So much peyote consumed by management before the rebrand.

[@JP_HKY]

My favourite coyotes jersey is the one they currently wear.

[@klompsauce]

Kachina is a great jersey

[@cowboyd5673]

Love the Kachina Jersey.

[@user-ih2hi2pc1z]

Did anyone see that Diamond Back Kachina combo throw back jersey? Those are the sexiest jersey ever. Coming from a Sharks fan

[@Xerxes910]

I have the leaping Coyote jersey which he doesn't show here. It's somewhat rare to see but its a cool design but not as popular as the Kachina and Howling coyote.

[@stuartrogers5807]

Bought a white Kachina jersey recently, should be arriving in the next week - genuine ccm - bnwt and a great price!! :-)

[@dr3putt62]

NOW we’re talking .... Jersey historians unite!

[@kbdead]

Will you be doing the Thrashers part of the Jets video?

[@83Henno]

Kachina is dope

[@G_043]

Sweet jerseys in my opinion!

[@naesgrebner313]

The howling coyote has a hidden "C" shape in it's mouth

[@Rockin_Ross]

As a southern AZ resident, I just can’t get my brain to like the Kachina. I really want to though, so maybe it’ll grow on me one day. For now…Howler home version is what I’m rocking at the games!

[@EvilX24]

their current home adidas jersey is really really nice.

[@justincurtin2069]

Could you do a Ales Hemsky career video

[@importednascar]

I wonder if Amazon has NHL jerseys I'm hoping so, so I can get a Tomas Tatar Habs jersey

[@dankerlin2386]

Quick question for anyone who can answer, My Koho Black Kachina jersey has a slightly different logo to the black CCM. Mine has a white background not black between the blade of the stick and forehand of the yote, was this just a minor difference brand by brand?

[@dababy8007]

If Arizona relocates the only thing I would miss is the Kachina jerseys

[@Whalers860]

Coyotes are done in Arizona. Welcome back to HARTFORD!

[@whatisawitch2550]

I like all of them!

[@robertfelton8374]

The Psychoyote uniform was great.

[@KevinQ25]

I love the Green Coyote head. They should also bring it back. Just maybe take off the desert landscape and replace it with stripes of the same colours. I had a black kachina Roenick uni, I loved it.

[@KevinJL]

The green coyote head is my favorite

[@grahamcarr2477]

Hi hockey guy where's the best place to purchase nhl Jersey just bought a Charlestown chief's from the film slapshot haven't received yet just ordered 2 days ago

[@mikekeenan30]

Hey Shannon, video idea, if you could wave a magic wand and make 5 or 10 changes to the NHL what would they be? Everyone loves (to argue) about a top 10!

[@tracijohnson7292]

I have the white one , and the leather jacket from over 25 years ago . I can't find the jacket anywhere. I bought it for 1300 back then . You can wear the jacket both ways. Jacket I think 2x jersey 2x only warn 1 time. Both look brand new. How do I find out how much they are worth?

[@elbowache]

I always wondered why they didn't make one that was what the yote is wearing. Burgundy with purple piping and green pants with a moon logo.

[@ThePolerbearproducts]

The Kachina is OP. I wanna get one someday.

[@drzal1221]

I miss the black reebok with the full body yote

[@DesertDrifter]

Do you own any authentic Phoenix Roadrunners from there ihl days in phoenix 90-97? Or any other minor league ihl jersey from the 90’s.

[@Pilgrimsnugget123]

I'm a yotes fan and it is nice

[@kevinfrancis1792]

Obviously, the Kachina is #1 but out of the current Home and Away kits, which do you prefer, the White or the Burgundy?

[@coltondzuba87]

Where did you find the white adidas yote?..

[@phillyjax]

Did you know the Kachina logo when Adidas switched to it is wrong? There’s a purple stripe that’s black and the green on the bigger ear is gone

[@j.nicolosi6647]

No remarks about the yawning coyote head, dang. I like the kachina though

[@joem6682]

Still have a khabibullin desert one

[@SuperFamousPro]

I'm assuming you dont have the running coyote Jersey

[@irepphoenix6753]

The kachina jersey is the best one In The entire NHL history. and the coyotes need to go back to it for good as a primary logo and jersey

[@RagsLighthouses]

Shannon you missed the glorious leaping yote

[@rileykazama3145]

I like the coyotes 1st Jersey

[@Xatalion]

I like Arizona retro jersey

[@mikejones3rfs]

Kachina be the best sweater/Jersey

[@Truman5555]

Wait a minute!!! THAT JERSEY HAS A FURSONA ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!! That's it! The Arizona Coyotes are #TeamFurry now!!!!

[@Nikkerman]

The cachyna has to be the most 90's jersey of all time

[@moodlampActual]

I would never buy medium jerseys bc I like to play in them with gear on. For that reason, mediums are prolly hard to find.

[@joshh5473]

You missed the black running coyote jersey. Phoenix's 3rd jersey

[@Nickleblanc41]

Where is the full Coyote jersey?

[@dababy8007]

The Kachina jerseys are almost like the Vancouver Grizzlies in the NBA

[@oceanshrugs9235]

Ranked: 1. All Kachina variants. Cacti included. 2. Kachina head. 3. Did I mention Kachina? 4. Running coyote. Underrated because of the glory that is Kachina. 5. Modern isn't too bad but doesn't compare. Habs fan to the bone but I'd wear that

[@donnyhunt6370]

I was upset when they rebranded and went to red and black, which is sharp but overdone. At least they were unique. I would be interested in seeing a combination jersey with the modern logo but original colors and southwestern flair

[@Simon-tc1mc]

The Kachina jersey is the best jersey in all of hockey. I hope they make it their permanent Jersey again, and adopt a white one.

[@Diaz-zq7sf]

I remember the response on the first one. I liked the Jersey so I got one 20 years ago. Still have it. Its white

[@SMG2fanatic]

Really sharp with the black in the stripes. The jerseys they wore in their 2012 run had a cool color but were kinda boring

[@MrLT3685]

There was probably some peyote use needed to design that 3rd coyote

[@erich84502ify]

Coyotes need the Cup in 2021

[@anthonypredko1880]

Got mine for $20us, fighting strap and all. White kachina that is.

[@cheifcrazybuffalo8390]

so no running coyote

[@bostonwarrior4824]

Personally I like when the Arizona coyotes just had the white stripes those were really nice I wish they would go back to that instead of the black that looks not really that great on the jersey on the side
