Nice to see a random shoutout to SmarterEveryDay, CGP Grey, and Roman Mars in a hockey video. Nice crossover that I didn’t expect

The Minnesota North Stars, Atlanta Flames & Québec Nordiques logo's are AWESOME❕❕ The absolute best NHL team logo's ever created.

The red sky/negative space in the Minnesota Wild logo also loosely forms an "MW" lots of cool stuff packed in that logo

I always thought the Quebec Nordiques’ logo kinda looked like an abstract elephant. I noticed the stick and puck, but never gathered that the main part was an igloo Also, the fact that the Columbus team is named the Blue Jackets with a Yellowjacket mascot, so they combined those colors and actually made him green, is quite underratedly(new word, cool) clever!

Great video! Didn't know that blue was chosen to match the city's other teams. I always thought that "blueshirts" stood for their blue balls since '67.

Really great video! Helped me understand the leagues history

Been waiting patiently for this video. Absolutely love it

That green and yellow North Stars logo from 85-91 is one of the coolest team logos I've ever seen! :D

The man on the blackhawks logo is supposed to be Black Hawk himself, not just any man

I was waiting for this one. Great video

Very cool and informative video. Thanks for all the in depth research😁😁

Man, this is one heck of an interesting logo history. I thought some of the original sixes logos got the current logos right from the beginning of their inception since they looked more "old-fashioned" than the rest of the league logos. Guess I was wrong. By the way, after this video, the NBA is next?

That Hartford Whalers logo is so slick, one of my favorite examples of merging letters in something else. The old one is pretty classy too.

The Sharks logo has got to be one of the coolest logos of all time.

The Coyotes aren’t called the Phoenix Coyotes. They’re the Arizona Coyotes now.

Love your vids I subscribed

I was really was hoping that the Nordiques/Avalanche section was going to touch on how the team nearly became the "Rocky Mountain Xtreme"...

If you remember your Roman history, the individual legion’s commander was a Legatus (or Legate), a Senator chosen by his fellow Senators to lead the legion. EDIT: and to be technical, Legates were the generals, while the Centurions are closer to lieutenants or colonels

One thing about the Islanders logo that I didnt know until very recently and ive been an islander fan 20+ years: the 'I' in Islanders is pointed and angled for a reason, it points to Uniondale in western Nassau County where the Nassau Coliseum is, the original home of the NYI for nearly 40 years. And about the Fisherman logo: it was changed because Long Island has a rich maritime history from whaling in the early colonial days on the North Shore to the current fishing industry that comprises a lot of Long Islands income and things to do in the summer. When it was changed briefly in '95, the Ranger fans got a new chant: "WE WANT FISH STICKS" because it resembled the Gordons Fisherman. I personally liked it but it had to go because of the chants lol

The Islanders Logo reminds me the place I was born in 10/26/1963. (Riverhead, New York, that is!!!)

I do miss the black and orange (1954-2005) NHL logo Also LOVE the Kachina Logo for the 'Yotes. I enjoyed the howling coyote logo, but nothing will beat that original logo.

Although it doesn't look like it the "snow" on the Colorado Avalanche logo is supposed to be the letter C for Colorado . Great video !

Your description of Florida is spot on. I am a lifelong resident of the state so I know

The Bruins brang back the throwback 1949-1995 logo, it looks nice on TD Garden ice.

Can you imagine that for each NHL teams for their home games, all of there home games for preseason, regular season, and postseason, came out on DVD (From 1977-2006 they would come on either or both DVD and VHS)

fun fact: the Islanders logo is not actually circular. it is slightly wider than it is tall, presumably to fit the titular long island. this results in funny errors because the edge of the logo juts out of pure circular overlays used in like playoff brackets

Amen to your vexillological commentary

The man in the Blackhawks' logo is named after the Aboriginal Sauk leader, Black Hawk or Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak(Sauk: Mahkatêwe-meshi-kêhkêhkwa) Also the Blackhawks' original owner, Frederic McLaughlin wanting a team in Chicago, named the team after the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division which he was a commander of, was named the Black Hawk Division.

Very interesting. I always wondered why logos are changed. I knew about the Ducks because I was playing youth hockey at the time, but I didn't know about some of the others. Especially when they didn't relocate or nothing. Relocation I get. Not only that, but I'm an Avalanche fan, so I get it.

Great video 🎉

Nice jobs!

*Reads description* Part of the MLB? I think you mean the NHL. Besides that, great vid!

Nice video, I have been told that the ”I” in the islanders logo is pointing at the location where the old nassau coloseum is located.

You. Forgot. the. REVERSE RETRO LOGOS (great vid btw)

Guess what. When. I was reading NHL in Wikipedia, I found out that there is a 33rd team expanding, and that team will be in Utah. U should update this video on how every NHL team got their and this video.

hope the (new version) ottawa senators win a stanley cup in the future

Little side fact: The inspiration for the original Ducks logo came from an animated series that Disney produced called "The Mighty Ducks". A team of anthropomorphized Ducks were featured as the protagonists, who acted as a group of crime fighters, as well as a hockey team in the "universe" portrayed in the series. The leader of the team, who also acted as the goalie named Wildwing, wore a stylized hockey mask, which was used as part of that original logo. Coincidentally, while the Ducks were owned by Disney, they had a mascot that was designed and named after the character Wildwing, who still serves as the Anaheim Ducks' mascot to the present day.

Great video

The orange and black NHL Shield was used on a jersey for Allstars game in late 80s early 90s I believe.

nicely done just that the canucks had a large V in same colors of the skate , witch came right after the famous flying V logo

56:54 i absolutely agree!!

I learned a lot about Top Level Hockey 🏒 Logos more Hockey 🏒 Logo exclusively explained videos part 2 would be much appreciated.

Hope update the list of logos to include the most increase of teams

I just discovered this after watching this video. I have a buffalo CCM jersey that has that yellow NHL shield on the neck. It’s a team classic jersey though however, but is interesting to me.

Can you do a video on every defunct and relocated NHL team?

Well, my first comment I'm going to make is that I've always liked the Buffaslug. 😂 lol, I enjoy this video so far.

Always thought the H in Montreals logo stood for le Habitants.

wow a person who actually list all the referenced used for their research. Auto follow

48:56 I think the reason why you would mention Disney for Anaheim Ducks is because of course, weather you went their or not, their is a Disneyland resort. And an addition for a duck character of Disney, there would be a team for Disney in Anaheim called Anaheim Ducks.

And the bruins are breaking out a new logo to celebrate their centennial season

Montreal Canadiens: I was told that the letter H on the logo stands for the French word Habitants (a person who lives in a particular place) hence the nickname of the team Habs...

the primary logos for some NHL teams changing some colors updating their color pallet

8:12 well at least knowing the leafs, they won't need to redesign the logo anytime soon... :(

Emiliooooo! American Dad fan happening

Sick video. But you forgot to show the iconic blues jersey with the arch in the background, and the jersey with the trumpet and a complete absence of the blues note. I thought those were very interesting

So since it doesn't really much explain the logo: the spoked wheel in the Bruins logo represents one of Boston's nicknames: the Hub. Originally this was short for the "Hub of New England", around which the region rotated, apparently at one point it was upgraded to the Hub of the Universe though, lol

NHL teams are going reverse retro with their new uniforms sharks, Minnesota wild, Nashville Predators, Florida Panthers, Colorado Avs, Dallas Stars and many other hockey teams

No way! Did u actually changed the thumbnail of Every Logo Explained | NHL Teams video?

Just in time! Hon the Sens!

Kinda interesting how many teams have switched from their original logos and then switched back to them in recent years

The new Winnipeg Jets had to get permission from the Maple Leafs to have the maple leaf in their logo.

24:55 The best sports logo ever! Timeless. There'll never be a reason to change it.

I was seeing the top 5 logos you liked and I heard you were from Arizona. I’m in Tucson.

Worth noting is that the Avalanche coming down from the A holds a puck.

Note for the Islanders logo, the "dot" on the I identifies the exact place on the Island where the arena is located! ✌️

Update your list love seeing the evolution of a team logo

Man, the whalers logo is so much better than the hurricanes. Wish they would just sell the name rights to the current ECHL team in Hartford.

Their is something I have thought about for relocated teams. When the Minnesota North Stars moved Dallas and being known as the Dallas Stars, for people from Minnesota who couldn't move to Dallas, even if they live in Minnesota but not fan of Minnesota Wild, they would still watch whole each season of Dallas Stars on Bally sports Southwest. The same could be set for some other teams that were relocated to others cities. Atlanta to Calgary (1972-1980) - people in Atlanta would watch each season of Calgary Flames on TV. Atlanta to Winnipeg (1999-2011) Atlanta had another NHL team but they did relocated again so people in Atlanta (1999-2011) would watch each season of Winnipeg Jets on TV. Qaubec to Colorado (1972-1995) people in Qaubec would watch each season of Colorado Avalanche on TV New England to Hartford to Carolina (1972-1979-1997) people in New England and Hartford would watch each season of Carolina Hurricanes on TV. On how very NHL team got their name video, you explained that the New England Whalers were forced to move because the Boston Bruins NHL team was already their. Why can't Massachusetts have two NHL teams? Kansas City to Colorado to New Jersey (1974-1976-1982) people in Kansas City and Colorado would watch each season of New Jersey Devils on TV. What Kansas City did the team play their home games, in Missouri or Kansas? That's what I think for people in that era who basically miss their old team they can still watch the new relocated team on TV if they don't move to that new city. Also I'm curious, when the Cleveland Barions merged with the Minnesota North Stars, what does the word "merged" mean?

I’m almost 100% sure the Minnesota North stars never dropped the north from their name before moving. I could be wrong but after watching this video that really racks my brain so I did a little research and found nothing that says they dropped north from their name ever like I said, I could be wrong, but I just couldn’t find any were confirming this P.s up until 2013 the wild had “Minnesota Wild” arched above the logo you showed.

Seattle is located next to Puget Sound, which is known for the large Pacific octopus.

I would have gone my whole life not knowing the wild logo looked like an animal, if i never saw this video.

The P for the Flyers is obviously the same P the Phillies use, with wings added.

I'm a rangers fan and you forgot to mention the best alternate logo in NHL history. Of course I'm referring to the Liberty head design. Also the Devils didn't change their color scheme until after the 93-94 season.

A small detail, I don't remember where I read it, but the Canadiens logo contains the letters CHC, the red C in front, the letter H and in the background a white letter C on a blue background. Greets from Chile.

Man, that Philly logo is just so iconic... as is Boston's logo... and I LOVE the Whaler's logo. Carolina's is horrible... and can't believe you like the Minnesota WIld... it's just too much like a photo... not really iconic...

I love that you described the Panthers’ updated design as mature- I’ve been saying the original logo is reminiscent of a rebellious teenager for years now.😆 Fantastic video! I appreciate the work that went into making it.

I ❤ The Oilers logo. 😊

makes you appreciate how much better logos used to be

Hockey is the only sport where I have the desire to get a hat from a team that I don’t support simply because the logos rock.

I have an original six hat with the yellow logo.

One thing I'm curious about the NHL goalies is that u know how there's two or three goalies in a team right? If one of the goalies is in front of the net for the game, where's the other one or two goalies? Y would they have more than one goalie?

You forgot about the hockey stick and the storm warning flag logo for the canes

Great video. One small note, Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island are pronounced "Nassaw" and "Suffick"

Opps, i forgot to mention one more relocated team. Winnipeg to Arizona (1972-1996) for people in Winnipeg who are not fans of the recent Winnipeg Jets (2011-present) would watch each season of the Arizona Coyotes on TV. Also, when Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg, why did they named it Winnipeg Jets again? Couldn't they think of other objects, animals, or nationality so they don't have to name it Winnipeg Jets again?

You should've had the Barons and Seals as part of the Dallas Stars hostory.

Minnesota Wild has such a cool logo

I love the 1932 Red Wings logo

The new England Whalers had 2 different logos in the WHA.

You should have added the California Golden/ Oakland Seals, which moved to Cleveland named the Barons. The Barons lasted 2 years in Cleveland, then merged with the Minnesota North Stars.

They were called the Phoenix coyotes back in the day

Your French was great!

That washington capitals logo always grinded my gears..WHY ISNT IT ALL IN CAPS Also, my home town oilers had a few major logo changes, but they never lasted long. People here obviously dont like change, but I always thought our logo was pretty lazy

56:51 ManBearPig

The North Stars didn’t drop “North” before the move to Dallas.

39:28 what about where the top of the ”I” is pointed don’t you have anything for that?

The seattle kraken uses mylanta as a color in their logo

They changed the NHL shield to a bend sinister, which in heraldry denotes illegitimacy.

U missed two loges for Edmonton oilers

You're missing the original Winnipeg Jets logo, which is a player a flying jet and Winnipeg Jets hockey club on it inside a circle.

lol, the regal lion from 1998-2002 for the Kings is also wearing sunglasses
