The Sharks introduce an alternate jersey in the 1997-98 season, featuring a slightly darker shade of teal. Originally, the names were straight and were trimmed in black. They proved to be very hard to see, and they were quickly changed to a single-color, arched format. |

2022-23 Reverse Retro
The Sharks pay tribute to the Bay Area's original NHL franchise, the California Golden Seals, with their Reverse Retro uniform for 2022-23. Even though the Sharks do not recognize the Seals/Barons' statistical history, perhaps they should. The franchise's 1978 merger with the Minnesota North Stars was effectively undone in 1991 when the newly-formed Sharks stocked its roster with half the players from the North Stars organization (mostly from their minor league affiliates). |
