The Hurricanes are in a weird place in that their current set of jerseys (home, road and alternate) are all kind of...whatever. They're fine, their logo has stayed the same since they moved to North Carolina, but there's no way we're ever picking any of those jerseys so long as they're busting out the Hartford Whalers jerseys, even for one game, each season.
The smartest thing the Hurricanes did was paying respect to their history by making sure to make as much throwback merchandise as possible and selling it to fans who have been pining to wear the logo once again. If Carolina can ever create its own logo and uniforms to rival it, it'll really have something cooking.
Until then, we'll always have the Whale, even if it is a weird kind of corporate morbidity to have the Hurricanes wearing the jersey of the team from the city they left so long ago.
