I’m a Wild fan and I wear North Stars stuff, my Dad grew up with them and even had a puck land into his coffee one game. The North Stars still leave a lasting impact on Minnesota.
The skating penguin is not very muscular. It's like "come try me, I'm weak" and then destroys the opponent. The 'triangle penguin' to me is like a symbol of Mario Lemioux.
well no shit. The ducks were a fake team from a disney film & its success warranted the NHL giving Disney a franchise, which they named the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. They kept ducks when disney left the franchise.

So, basically, all of the current logos were derived from the following statement: "let's copy what the team was wearing in the 90's, but remove half of the color vibrancy."
As a graphic designer I've always liked Philadelphia Flyers logo. Surprisingly in Toronto they cannot draw anything that even remotely looks like a maple leaf.
3rd jersey but it's my all-time favorite. Not necessarily a Rangers fan, but really like that one. And bring back the Gorton's fish sticks guy back to the Isles.
I think it’s interesting to see the Pens had a similar set of logos to the baltimore Orioles - cartoon birds, then a shift to a more realistic looking bird, then a shift back to a slightly altered cartoon bird for old times sake.
The Hartford Whalers is the greatest sports logo of all time. Followed by the Chicago Bulls, 80s Milwaukee Brewers, 80s Boston Celtics, then Dallas Cowboys. Just my opinion. I love logos!!!
Kind of amazing how many logos look bad from far away at the start of their rebrands. Like the new ducks logo is very hard to read until they basically dropped all the text and just get the D in the shape of the duck foot. Phoenix had the text in their logo and realized pretty fast that just dropping the text made it look better from far away. A lot of teams dropped unnecessary text with time. Glad they all eventually simplified the detail and shapes and removed the text and redundancies - they mostly look better in the end.
@@antbint great question. It's just some of those things that you randomly figure out many years later than others. I bet everyone has at least one thing like that
Gotta admire the Red Wings. Same logo since 1949. That team doesn’t go for gimmicky cash grabs by changing logos and jerseys every other year like most NHL teams.
I dont know if it's just because I was a kid in the 90's, but every logo from the 90's look the best to me. After 2000 they got to modern or they revert back to retro logos that weren't better than the 90s version
It's amazing how many of these designs could be summed up by the graphic designer with either: "I changed the contrast" Or "I added/subtracted a stroke"
Red wings: longest without change Canadians & leafs: most changes Vegas: least changes Ducks: worst change Preds, sharks, lightning, caps: best changes Last two are my opinion :)
HeyMitch15 the ducks changed their logo because goalies stopped wearing those types of masks, and the ducks started becoming a real team, so they took out their cartoonish logo.
I disagree about the least changes. It goes to the flyers. Vegas never had a change. Let's see the knights hang around for 50 years to only having 1 logo.
@@lowellhawk1039 ducks changed the logo because disney sold them and the new owners changed it from the old disney name which came from a disney movie.
CelixGawd if you watch the TSN bardown quiz on nhl logos there is another panthers logo they forgot, it’s the one that has a circle around a panthers head and the name Florida panthers in the circle
Amazing how the Red Wings haven't tweaked theirs in over 70 years. I guess you can't improve on perfection. That's the greatest logo in any sport for all time.
Now that was a good video. I didn't know that the fisherman was the mascot once for the Islanders for a year then became the mascot for Gorton's fish. Out of sight! And the Ottawa Senators sporting a helmet and a hoody. Badass!
The 2nd Buffalo Sabres logo looks like he’s raising his eye brow just like The Rock did. Do you smell what that Buffalo is cooking? Lol. I think that’s their best one.
They folded, and the original franchise bears no direct influence to the NHL, as the team moved to St. Louis and folded the season after. The team we know as the Senators today was an expansion team following the 1991-92 season.
4:47 the same logo with very little differences every time they have changed it award: Edmonton oilers Honorable mentions: Philadelphia flyers 8:48 St. Louis blues10:00 12:00 Vegas golden knights
Logos that I wish would come back: 1. The old Mighty Ducks logo… I get that they had to change the logo but why the hell they thought a ducks foot was the right way to go I’ll never understand. 2. The Buffalo Sabers “goat head” logo as it was easily their best! 3. The Florida Panthers logo original logo. The one their currently using looks more like a soccer club crest. 4. The Pittsburgh Penguins logo from the 90’s . 5. The Washington Capitals “screaming eagle” logo
For the period between 1920 to the 1950s, the jerseys were generic wool sweaters bought from different stores. They sometimes had to change the logo to fit the sweaters. That was the case for the Habs. Not sure for the Leafs but I’m pretty sure it was the same thing for them
After a very long time of looking, I found the difference between the Buffalo logo from 1997 and the one from 2000, in the 2000 one, the eye is just barely a darker red.

there's actually a few missing if u google them you'll see. Maybe they were just alternate logos
My favorite logo is 1997-2011 :)

Missing the oilers logo that had the gear with the drop of oil
The evolution of the Flyers logo is just insane
I see what you did there
Almost as insane as the vegas evolution
Hey, what if we made the black blacker? Yeah yeah. And a little more red in the dot. Perfect. Don’t want to confuse people too much.
don’t need to mess with perfection there boys
A slightly darker orange dot…personally I think that made it 100 times better don’t you think
Every NHL team in 2000: Let’s make the logo darker
Was most likely motivated by the change to a primarily digital medium. When it's not seen in print, but on screen, the colors change.
The whalers finally found the right uniform combo dark blue instead of Kelly green and team folded to Carolina???
What no
So what's wrong with the logos dark

@@jugglerjoe If you're watching Hockey from when you are born, you learn REAL QUICK what team is which.

Yep, I think most of those are a very, very slight difference in the shade of a color.

The first two coyotes logos were dope
which one?
Both the 1997-1999 and 2000-2003 ones I liked
and here I thought I was the only one who thought they messed up when they changed to the generic coyote head.
Explosions and Stuff Yeah it just looks like a default logo from nhl 20. 1st one was original at least.
Agreed, it's one of the first logos I think of when it comes to classic and great designs
I love how the first penguins logo has that happy little penguin with the scarf and some graphic designer had an idea to make it angry and muscular
The skating penguin is not very muscular. It's like "come try me, I'm weak" and then destroys the opponent.
The 'triangle penguin' to me is like a symbol of Mario Lemioux.
He cut back on the Iron City beer and Primanti Brothers sandwiches. Got jacked.
Bring back the triangle crest logo. The one now looks kiddy.
We Need to Pens To Change Back to their Lemieux Era Logo that Logo is probably the dopest logo in the history of hockey
Pens one of the few teams that imnsho improved their logo in the 90s, it’s stylish, unlike the non-scarf-wearing penguin skater
The Pittsburgh ones in the 90s with just a triangle do be vibin doe
Dante Angotti Love that logo, so simple and aesthetically pleasing.
Some refer to the design as "RoboPenguin".
I agree. I don't think it was very popular but something about it I love. Maybe I subconsciously think of Mario and Jagr wearing it at the same time?
I miss the RoboPenguin
Anyone else prefer the old Anaheim logo?
i do
that logo is the best
That logos is the ugliest. And all of their logos are ugly.
but my opinion may differ because I am a LA Kings fan, soo..

Really? I love their current/original logo. I think it's one of the best in sports

The Blackhawks logo got happier every year
So, basically, all of the current logos were derived from the following statement: "let's copy what the team was wearing in the 90's, but remove half of the color vibrancy."
Lightning? Panthers? Hurricane?Oilers? Alot more just saying....
meanwhile the caps completely changing their logo only to CHANGE LITERALLY EVERYTHING in 2008
