      It is hard to argue there. There are some good logos abroad like the English Premier League, especially my Spurs. But, imo, the NHL logos are the best in any sport worldwide. Nippon Professional Baseball logos are pretty wild too.

Whereas some logos make more sense and gain fondness as time passes, even the genesis of the now decrepit core doesn't inspire any fondness for that color.

      I agree! I'm a hockey fan and a visual artist (so I might care a little too much about colours).

In other words, it looks great AND is historically accurate! 👑

      Howdy, GoalHorn! Definitely agree on the Kings colors. The purple & black look good. All black is just boring and for some odd reason the Pacific Division tends to have a lot of black or very dark jerseys. I also like the crown. I’m old enough to have watched the original Kings with their “Imperial Margarine” crown. While I like that one, I think I prefer the newer crown. Also, I read where the original crown is more like a queen’s crown, while the newer one is more like a king’s crown!

    Fun video, Shannon. The only ones we differ on are Anaheim (I like the Mighty logo a lot, but the D is clever), Colorado (I love the Nords logo and want them to return to the NHL, but as a Wings fan who hates them, there's history with the Avs), Ottawa (2D is just cleaner), Pittsburgh (I like all three, but the yellow is classic), Winnipeg (the 90s logo is a very close second, but I prefer non-script/wordmark logos). Other notes: I love everything about the North Stars and want them back in the league, but the Wild logo is excellent. Vancouver's skate is iconic and should never go away completely, but the current orca is simpler (plus three of the seven Canadian teams having a "C" for a logo is quirky).

    Having the red on the Blues' jerseys felt like a bad idea, but I actually liked them more than I thought. The flag for the city of St. Louis has quite a bit of red in it, so I understand throwing in touches of red on the jerseys. They just have to be careful to not overdo it.
    Also, I didn't know the Buffaslug logo existed, but it is now my favorite hockey logo, and among my top 10 of all logos of any sports team.

      @@shoknifeman2mikado135 Absolutely agree. The Blues jerseys with a little bit of red weren’t very good. The ones with the big diagonal patch of red at the bottom were HORRIBLE!
      Blue, red, and yellow (gold) just don’t go together.
      Also, in the “red era”, the tips of the Blue Note wing were rounded. It made the Blue Note look fat and slow. I actually slightly prefer the original 1967 Blue Note, since it’s a little slimmer than the current one and just looks “sleeker and faster”. But the current one is perfectly fine, so no need to change.
      Last point: I absolutely HATE this year’s awful yellow reverse retros. Hate the color and hate the amateur, cartoonish word marks. It’s not surprising we are playing poorly. Those jerseys are a jinx and need to be burned in a fire pit!!!!

The puck/avalanche part of Colorado’s logo forms a “C”. The skating penguin’s eye forms a lower case “H”, for “Hockey” maybe?

    Not sure how I missed this vid back when you uploaded it so I know I’m late, but as a lifelong stars fan myself, born in 2000 and moving here 01’, and Modano being the sole reason I fell in love with hocmey so young and played hockey most my life… I prefer the current logo quite a bit more lol. Im not old enough to have gotten to really appreciate some of these teams iconic classic logos so I get why people have the bias for the vintage looks but I definitely prefer the current look cuz the colors are more modernized but allow for a more bright and standout look, plus the shade of green being called Victory green is cool. The logo itself is a little more meaningful to me too since it actually a Dallas logo and not the same thing they had in MN but edited to just have ‘Dallas’ on top. Having the base of the logo be the lone star, with the letter D cuz Dallas is also known as the Big D. Sure if you just think about it plainly, it’s just a D with a star behind it so it sounds stupidly too simple but the 3D effect with the shading gives off the impression to me of a metal like steel or iron and the to me gives the logo a sense of strength/toughness/durability

    The good thing about the black border Flames logo is it forces good contrast if it's put on something white or yellow. It's also easier to see the yellow in general. Otherwise, it's not really different enough to carry a major opinion.
    The fisherman is a bad overall branding logo compared to their normal one, but it's a great logo for a jersey or hat. I'd definitely make a frequently used alternate out of it.

    The occasional red in the Blues’ logos/unis completes the color palette of the St Louis flag (which is mostly red with yellow and blue). Or at least that’s why I assume it crops up when it does. Only a super nerd like me would likely pick up on that though, so “why are the blues red” is a very fair question otherwise.

      Hi deFault! Fellow nerd here. While you’re correct about the STL flag colors, the red on the Blues uniforms just doesn’t go. I particularly hated the Keenan-Gretzky era one with the big diagonal triangle of red at the bottom of the sweater. It looked like a cheesy imitation of the Anaheim Ducks sweater bottom. It just didn’t work for me.
      BTW, I have a photo of Ben Bishop and Patrick
      Maroon in the handshake line after Game 7 of their series in 2019. In the background, one of the Blues cheerleaders is skating by with the St. Louis flag. With Bishop and Maroon both being St. Louisans, it’s a great picture, and I had it blown up and framed in my office.
