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.
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
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!
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?
Always fascinated by hockey logos since I was a kid, and appreciate the research done with many of the designs! A few adds/changes could be made here, though: the LA Kings logo originally was just a giant gold/purple crown all by itself on the team jerseys without any shield/KINGS surrounding it, and the Jets had two even earlier, wholly different designs on their 1st WHA jerseys, while the Senators could have their original "O" from 1917 (or even that weird leg-thing from 1885!) involved. And while the pre-NHL Canucks did have the Johnny Canuck character on the uni's, most of the time they wore the ones with a plain, boring 'Canucks' diagonally down the front much like the original Rangers look. Great video!
37:36 Good job Edmonton logo design teams of the last 20 years. Every time they planned something new, they postponed it until the last day, and in the end, due to the tight deadline, they quickly changed the color a shade in paint. After all, they worked on it. :-)
Thanks for this vid, it's very informative. Don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but I recall the Flyers using the "millennium logo" (I think it was called that) with silver outlining.
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.
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
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)
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.
Fun Fact: The Calgary Flames still use the original Atlanta Flames logo on some of their jerseys. It is used as the A for the alternate/assistant captains.
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.
I'm not sure whats up with it but with all the attention around the Wayne Gretzky rookie card lately becuase the case of cards that sold for millions, I noticed on that card the oilers logo, the text is orange instead of the typical blue
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.
Was just coming here to say it’s pretty cool to see that the Philadelphia Flyers are the one of the only teams who haven’t had a logo change over the years!
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
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
Many older Minnesotans will always love and identify with the North Stars and their logo. I know I do. Yet the Wild have awesome "Christmas" colors and probably the best designed logo in all of professional sports. No need to ever change perfection.
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.
How did you not mention that the upper left hand corner of the “I” in Islanders pinpoints the location of their first arena, the Nassau County Memorial Coliseum? Maybe Justin needs to learn even more things, haha, good vid overall though. BTW, the blue and orange are from the NYC flag, not the county, why else would the Mets and Knicks use the same colors?
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 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.
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.
@PrinceAnt722 devils are a trash hockey team they can't even win a cup in a full season they won their three cups in shortened seasons. My rangers are going to win the cup this year even without tarassenko and kane.
@craigkatz1018 Actually, I am a Rangers fan. The only season that the Devils won in a shorten one was 1995. The other two (2000, 2003) were in a full season.
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.
Yeah its really hard to find so many specific things pre-internet... it probably accounts for half of the time in making these videos! I looked at my notes and this section was built off of this program from the 1991 Stanley Cup Finals: www.sportspaper.info/wiki/index.php/1991_Stanley_Cup_Finals_(Pittsburgh_Penguins_vs._Minnesota_North_Stars) On wikipedia it does say "Following the 1991 Finals run, the North Stars adopted a new logo - the word "STARS" in italicized gold capitals over a green star with a gold outline; the gold now a more metallic shade than the previous yellowish shade." But as with classic wikipedia, there's no source provided for that information. In 'Fabric of the Game' by Chris Creamer & Todd Radom they wrote: "Following the 1991 Finals run, the North Stars adopted a new logo - the word "STARS" in italicized gold capitals over a green star with a gold outline; the gold now a more metallic shade than the previous yellowish shade." So that part of the video was based off of combining those comments on the rebrand descriptions and what may have been that first appearance of the logo on the stanley cup finals program! I would have been up a creek many times without that book by Creamer & Radom! They really helped clear up some of the earlier logos with many of the teams! Thanks so much for your comment! I'd recommend the book if you're interested in Hockey logos and names! They do a really great job with all the teams!
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.
You should do a super cut of all the names and logos for each league, but say after you explain the name of the canadiens, then cut in the logo explanation, maple leafs name, then logo. Kinda see wbat i mean? It would be like 5 hours but id watch it
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.
@@JustinLearnsThings this Utah team talk has been around for a few years. I've been a hockey fan since 2015-16 (I was 6-7 years old. Now 14, nearly 15. I'll be glad to help out with the research)
I can’t remember when the jersey was, but there was a 4th for Philadelphia, the only difference was that there was a shining silver effect on the outline.
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?
Oops, I forgot to mention one more relocated team which is Arizona Coyotes. Winnipeg to Arizona (1972-1996) people in Winnipeg who are not fans of the recent Winnipeg Jets (2011-present) they would would each season of Arizona Coyotes on TV. Also, when the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg, why did they named it Winnipeg Jets again? Could they think of any other object, animal or nationality so they don't have to namei it Winnipeg Jets?
If u watched Arizona Coyotes highlights on UA-cam and they play at mullet arena, a college ice hockey arena, do u know any reasons why the players look a little smaller at mullet arena than they r at the other NHL arenas?
@@JustinLearnsThings oh also you should have mentioned that the sens are a phoenix club of the original Ottawa Senators though and do sometimes use the original Ottawa O
I know Yeti is the current frontrunner for the new team, but what about the Utah Buzz It has nice pairty with our *other* team with the two z's at the end, and also has hostory within the state as it was previously rhe name of one of our minor leauge teams. It serves as a nod to both our state nickname, "the beehive state" and our state motto "Industry" (get it, the BUZZ of a bee, the BUZZ of machnery,) The logo would double down on the concept with a stylized honeybee enclosed within a Buzzsaw shape; the bee's head makes the U & T, its wings make a B, and the stripes on its abdomen form Utah's odd step-stool shape.
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
I know The Yeti is the FrontRunner for the new team's name, but what about the Utah Buzz? It has nice pairity with our *other* team with the two Zz's at the end, and his history in our state being the name of an old minor league baseball team. It serves as a not to both our state nickname "The Beehive State" and our state motto "Industry" (get it, the BUZZ of a bee, the BUZZ of machinery...) The logo would be a stylized Bee enclosed with a buzzsaw with its head forming a U & T, its wings forming a "B" and the stripes on its abdomen forming Utah's odd step-stool shape.
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.
Yeah I included them in the names video because of how intricate they are intertwined in a couple different teams. But I didn’t include them in this video since they’re a defunct team. I have thought of doing a video about defunct teams though!
I don’t know! I always assume 13 on a patriotic themed logo means 13 original colonies. I thought maybe 11 might have to do with the Union in the civil war, but I haven’t really found something concrete!
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?
Yeah that’s a great secondary logo! Wish I included more secondaries but the video was getting really logo so I tried to keep the focus on the primary logos!
Nice to see a random shoutout to SmarterEveryDay, CGP Grey, and Roman Mars in a hockey video. Nice crossover that I didn’t expect
Haha thanks! I love all their stuff so I was excited to slide in some shout outs!
The red sky/negative space in the Minnesota Wild logo also loosely forms an "MW" lots of cool stuff packed in that logo
Nice! Yeah the logo that keeps on giving!
Really great video! Helped me understand the leagues history
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh days when you get to the beach
The Minnesota North Stars, Atlanta Flames & Québec Nordiques logo's are AWESOME❕❕ The absolute best NHL team logo's ever created.
I do really like that logo! It’s really high up there for sure!
I personally like the Whalers too!
@@noblinkreal I definitely agree w/ ya. I should've mentioned the Hartford Whalers too. They had an awesome logo. Easily, 1 of the best.
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.

Makes sense! Thanks for watching!
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.
Absolutely agree! One of my favorite logos!
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!
Haha I can definitely see the elephant 😂
One of the classic great logos, along with the hartford whalers.
45:59 there is an SJ in the newer sharks logo. The S is the right fin and the J is the dorsal fin 💫
Oh nice detail! Thanks for watching!
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.

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

Good job Edmonton logo design teams of the last 20 years.
Every time they planned something new, they postponed it until the last day, and in the end, due to the tight deadline, they quickly changed the color a shade in paint. After all, they worked on it. :-)
Thanks for this vid, it's very informative. Don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but I recall the Flyers using the "millennium logo" (I think it was called that) with silver outlining.
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 !
That’s great! I’ve totally missed it looking at the logos while making it!
Love your vids I subscribed
Thanks so much!
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.
Thanks for watching! Yeah sometimes new owners, new eras, lots of losing, not making money, etc. can all lead to new designs!
*Reads description*
Part of the MLB? I think you mean the NHL.
Besides that, great vid!
Great catch!! Thank you! Fixed just now!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
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
Yeah that does ring a bell! That makes sense with the distinction of the the centurion being more akin to a lieutenant!
Also, a centurion's crest was sideways.
The Coyotes aren’t called the Phoenix Coyotes. They’re the Arizona Coyotes now.
LOL what the heck! I totally flubbed that! It's even Arizona Coyotes on my script! AND I'M FROM PHOENIX! 🫠 Good catch! I don't know how I missed that!
Its still Phoenix Coyotes in my book and heart
Salt Lake City soon
Hopefully they can get a new rink soon. The league needs Arizona to be a successful market.
as an arizona resident i hope they don't get moved to SLC
Your description of Florida is spot on. I am a lifelong resident of the state so I know
😂 haha glad you appreciated it!
@@JustinLearnsThings lol 😂
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.
Oh nice I could totally see that being the case!
I was really was hoping that the Nordiques/Avalanche section was going to touch on how the team nearly became the "Rocky Mountain Xtreme"...
Rocky Mountain extreme is a hall of fame potential name for me!
You missed the Edmonton Oilers metallic oil drop logo that Todd Mcfarlane (creator of Spawn and co-creator of Image Comics) designed.
Not a Minnesota Wild fan but their logo is absolute perfection. I can't think of a better logo in any other sport right now.
Yeah it’s really great!!
Unfortunately the team name is “Minnesota Wild”
U missed two loges for Edmonton oilers
56:51 ManBearPig
Lol you're not wrong 🤣
The Islanders Logo reminds me the place I was born in 10/26/1963. (Riverhead, New York, that is!!!)
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)
That’d be a lot of DVDs!!
I learned a lot about Top Level Hockey 🏒 Logos more Hockey 🏒 Logo exclusively explained videos part 2 would be much appreciated.
Always thought the H in Montreals logo stood for le Habitants.
Yeah it’s pretty common, but the team marks as an H for the name change from athletique!
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.
wow a person who actually list all the referenced used for their research. Auto follow
Haha I appreciate it! I started to notice some discrepancies out there so I wanted to be diligent on showing my work!
I genuinely think hockey has the best logos from top to bottom out of the major sports leagues
The man on the blackhawks logo is supposed to be Black Hawk himself, not just any man
Fun Fact:
The Calgary Flames still use the original Atlanta Flames logo on some of their jerseys.
It is used as the A for the alternate/assistant captains.

In 'Fabric of the Game' by Chris Creamer & Todd Radom they wrote: "Following the 1991 Finals run, the North Stars adopted a new logo - the word "STARS" in italicized gold capitals over a green star with a gold outline; the gold now a more metallic shade than the previous yellowish shade."
So that part of the video was based off of combining those comments on the rebrand descriptions and what may have been that first appearance of the logo on the stanley cup finals program! I would have been up a creek many times without that book by Creamer & Radom! They really helped clear up some of the earlier logos with many of the teams!
Thanks so much for your comment! I'd recommend the book if you're interested in Hockey logos and names! They do a really great job with all the teams!
@@JustinLearnsThings that sounds interesting. I’ll give it a look.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Note for the Islanders logo, the "dot" on the I identifies the exact place on the Island where the arena is located! ✌️
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great video. One small note, Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island are pronounced "Nassaw" and "Suffick"
Fun fact: The blue tip on the letter I points to Uniondale, the Islanders' home for almost their entire existence
Nice! Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comments!
You should do a super cut of all the names and logos for each league, but say after you explain the name of the canadiens, then cut in the logo explanation, maple leafs name, then logo. Kinda see wbat i mean? It would be like 5 hours but id watch it
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.
Will be soon, we’ll see what the name and logo looks like hopefully in the next few months!
@@JustinLearnsThings this Utah team talk has been around for a few years. I've been a hockey fan since 2015-16 (I was 6-7 years old. Now 14, nearly 15. I'll be glad to help out with the research)
10:06 what about the centennial logo?
I actually made a follow up video on that one! You can see it on my channel page!
i'll watch!@@JustinLearnsThings
I can’t remember when the jersey was, but there was a 4th for Philadelphia, the only difference was that there was a shining silver effect on the outline.
Hartford Whalers best logo in hockey. Negative space H is straight up artistic perfection.
Kinda interesting how many teams have switched from their original logos and then switched back to them in recent years
Yeah I think design trends have definitely returned to a flatter design, and something more evergreen!
I ❤ The Oilers logo. 😊
Thanks for watching!
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?
Oops, I forgot to mention one more relocated team which is Arizona Coyotes.
Winnipeg to Arizona (1972-1996) people in Winnipeg who are not fans of the recent Winnipeg Jets (2011-present) they would would each season of Arizona Coyotes on TV. Also, when the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg, why did they named it Winnipeg Jets again? Could they think of any other object, animal or nationality so they don't have to namei it Winnipeg Jets?
If u watched Arizona Coyotes highlights on UA-cam and they play at mullet arena, a college ice hockey arena, do u know any reasons why the players look a little smaller at mullet arena than they r at the other NHL arenas?
I’m not sure, my guess would be that maybe because of the smaller arena the camera angles aren’t what we’re used to from larger arenas!
Just in time! Hon the Sens!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
@@JustinLearnsThings I still think ya should do the GAA or the prem. Have a good day though
@@JustinLearnsThings oh also you should have mentioned that the sens are a phoenix club of the original Ottawa Senators though and do sometimes use the original Ottawa O
Definitely looking at it!
Why were you saying sweater
Traditionally a hockey uniform is referred to as a sweater!
I know Yeti is the current frontrunner for the new team, but what about the Utah Buzz
It has nice pairty with our *other* team with the two z's at the end, and also has hostory within the state as it was previously rhe name of one of our minor leauge teams.
It serves as a nod to both our state nickname, "the beehive state" and our state motto "Industry" (get it, the BUZZ of a bee, the BUZZ of machnery,)
The logo would double down on the concept with a stylized honeybee enclosed within a Buzzsaw shape; the bee's head makes the U & T, its wings make a B, and the stripes on its abdomen form Utah's odd step-stool shape.
Seattle is located next to Puget Sound, which is known for the large Pacific octopus.
Thanks for watching!
The triangle logos of the Pittsburgh Penguins & San Jose Sharks is very closely familiar!!!
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
I know The Yeti is the FrontRunner for the new team's name, but what about the Utah Buzz?
It has nice pairity with our *other* team with the two Zz's at the end, and his history in our state being the name of an old minor league baseball team.
It serves as a not to both our state nickname "The Beehive State" and our state motto "Industry" (get it, the BUZZ of a bee, the BUZZ of machinery...)
The logo would be a stylized Bee enclosed with a buzzsaw with its head forming a U & T, its wings forming a "B" and the stripes on its abdomen forming Utah's odd step-stool shape.
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.
Yeah I included them in the names video because of how intricate they are intertwined in a couple different teams. But I didn’t include them in this video since they’re a defunct team. I have thought of doing a video about defunct teams though!
27:41 Did you literally called that gold, "Vegas Gold" as in: Vegas Golden Knights? Why? Just why? That logo looks like if it was unrestored.
Worth noting is that the Avalanche coming down from the A holds a puck.
I was gonna say the same thing
Oh nice! It’s like it was invisible to my eye before you mentioned it!
Any idea why the Jackets had 13 stars in their first logo, and 11 in their replacement logo?
I don’t know! I always assume 13 on a patriotic themed logo means 13 original colonies. I thought maybe 11 might have to do with the Union in the civil war, but I haven’t really found something concrete!
Emiliooooo! American Dad fan happening
Haha I was thinking a night a the Roxbury 😅
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 forgot about the hockey stick and the storm warning flag logo for the canes
Yeah that’s a great secondary logo! Wish I included more secondaries but the video was getting really logo so I tried to keep the focus on the primary logos!
2:18 BRING BACK ORANGE AND BLACK!
My dad used to be in the WHL
That’s awesome! Thank you for watching!
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.
