Some of this information is wrong. Like the Rangers name for example, it was not a nod to a baseball team. It was a nod to the Texas Rangers state police. The black hawks name was not just about the restaurant, it was for the unit named for Cheif Black Hawk, hence the logo. The bruins store wasn't black and gold, it was brown and gold. They later changed to black. This is a fun video, but I'm curious about the research.
You saved me the time of writing this, lol. Especially since I'm a Rangers fan. The Rangers were the reason that The NY Americans went defunct. The Americans didn't have an arena of their own, and shared MSG with the Rangers. When they wanted a new home, they needed a unanimous vote from the other six teams. The Rangers voted against. This led to the 54 year curse that finally ended with a Stanley Cup win in 1994.

Something to add to the video is that the yellow triangle in the Penguin’s logo is in reference to the shape of downtown Pittsburgh. Also, the yellow and black colors are also used by Pittsburgh’s other professional sports teams as well.
The New York Rangers did get the name from Tex’s Rangers, but it wasn’t the baseball team. The baseball team didn’t exist until (a quick Google search shows) after the 1971 season when the moved from Washington, DC. The Texas Rangers are a law enforcement agency that predates the NHL. They have a long history that would require a video of its own, so i am keeping it simple. The Lone Ranger is so named as he was a Texas Ranger. Then there’s the old show -Walker, Texas Ranger. It wasn’t about the baseball team I let other stuff slide as well
the name was coined by the press, it was a play on words with the founders name "Tex Rickard" so they nicknamed the team "Tex's Ranger" after obviously the police division in Texas
@@andrewthompson6453 That’s what I have read, some sources say it was Tex or someone he knew. It’s something I let slide. As well, Tex was not the owner of the Americans, he ran Madison Square Gardens
I came to the comments to say exactly the same about the baseball team not existing. I'm glad you beat me to it. It blows my mind that we have easy access to unlimited information, but people don't bother taking a minute to check facts at all and just spout whatever nonsense they've "heard" or "think". Sorry for the rant, I know it's just a sports video.
12:33 HOLD UP RIGHT THERE BUDDY!!! THE NEW YORK RANGERS NAME, IS NOT A NOD TO THE TEXAS RANGERS BASEBALL TEAM!!! If you think it is, you know nothing about hockey or baseball. In order for the New York Rangers name to be a nod to the Texas Rangers baseball team, the Texas Rangers baseball team would’ve had to been founded before the New York Rangers, and they weren’t. The New York Rangers were founded in 1926, while the Texas Rangers were founded as the Washington Senators in 1961. In 1972, They moved to the Dallas area, and became the Texas Rangers, almost 50 years after the New York Rangers were founded.
Maple leaves were on every incarnation of the Canadian Red Ensign flag, in the bottom section of the shield. You put it on the screen. The maple leaf was the Canadian symbol long before the current flag. Its on countless Canadian buildings, coins, documents and songs that predate the hockey team.

All of the “most popular” suggestions for the Utah teams stink so bad. I get why they’re going with Utah Hockey Club Ownership should definitely try to do some legal gymnastics so they can be Utah Raptors (there’s teams across the big four that share team names, Rangers, Cardinals, Giants, Panthers to name a few)
I still to this very day (7 years later) find that statement extremely hard to believe at 17:42 because Kitchener’s OHL Team & 1 of New York City’s NHL Teams both have the same name “the Rangers” So going by that logic, the Vegas Golden Knights could of absolutely just been called the Las Vegas Knights (unless there is something I’m missing here)
The Utah Miracle makes sense and ties into the history of Salt Lake City referring to the Miracle of the Gulls when seagulls miraculously saved the 1848 crops by eating thousands of insects that were devouring their fields. The Seagull Monument is located in front of the Salt Lake Assembly Hall on Temple Square.
The Texas Rangers baseball team was established in 1961, so maybe THAT team was a nod to the hockey team, not the other way around. TONS of errors in this videos.
Well the franchise was established in 61 as the Washington Senators, they moved and became the Rangers after the 71 season But the point you make is still valid.

Little correction : The 'Canadiens' name is not just because of the french spelling, it's because back in '09, the french-canadians were called Canadians or Canadiens while the anglophone were just called English.
Your map on the thumbnail would suggest that Alberta has no Oilers team , just the shitty Flames. I didn’t come to watch your video , just to point out you have obviously no clue .
The Flames don’t have nothing to with Calgary? That’s inaccurate The Alberta Oil and gas industry is a big part of the city’s economy When the Flames moved there was enormous support to keep the name to reflect the oil & gas wells that could be seen all around southern Alberta. The natural gas wells have Flames. Please do some research There are good things about these videos, or I would just stop watching But it gets annoying with all lack of research.
I mentioned the same thing Most of the errors in previous videos are minor compared to this one. I appreciate the effort, but more research/fact checking is needed I realize it can be a lot of time and work to create a TH-cam video, so I get that, but if this were done with some additional research, it could be a very good video.
While the Atlanta Flames represent the Civil War burning of the city, the Flames moved to Calgary shortly after the city was awarded the 1988 Winter Olympics. Since the Olympic flame is symbolic of the games, the name was retained.
damn the true origin of the Blackhawks name was quite a let down, I was always lead to believe it was after and to honour the Blackhawk Tribe and war chief in the Illinois region
Let me explain it as an commercial expert. All the finale names for the UTAH team have more or less nothing to do with hockey and its purpose. Yeti? We are not in the Himalians, Venom? Have never seen a snake on ice, Maomouth? Is it a team from the stones age? Outlaws? This might have fit to the old Flyers days with Schulz and Clarke. Ice??? Yes, of course they are playing on it but what does it say about the state and the team???? What is important to mention. The team is working as a team, they are symbolysing the attitude and the mentality of this state and this is only possible if you do it a s a newbie in the league as a SWARM to overrun opponents in regard to attitude and commitment. There is only one name realistic and I hope Mr. Owner might see that the same way. The UTAH SWARM

Winnipeg Jets named after the New York Jets is the most interesting name for me. Blackhawks named after a military unit the coolest.
The purple the Lakers and then Kings was referred to as “Forum blue.” Jack Kent Cooke apparently was not a fan on the word purple.
I mean the flames could relate to Calgary cause there are a ton of forest fires around Calgary every summer
William Dywer moved the Hamilton Tigers renamed Americans. The winnipeg Jets were named after Bobby Hull The Golden Jet.
