A perfect thread for the summer doldrums. The Hockey News has started a countdown from worst to first NHL logos.

 

The Canes organization liked to rib the Sabres during the slug days, and that was all fine and good because who doesn't agree that the slug was one of the all time worst sports logos? At the time I used to remind my Canes fan friends about people living in glass houses, pot kettle black etc.. To a man they always insisted that their logo was among the best in the NHL. Well THN doesn't agree my Caniac friends.... Woooo Woo woo!!

 

Number 30: Carolina Hurricanes

 

Of course we all know the original six teams will populate the top 10, but I'd be surprised if the Sabres aren't in the mix as well.

Number 29 released today, Colorado

Their logo was nothing special, plus who wants their team named after a monster storm that kills people and floods homes?

 

The original Anaheim Mighty Ducks logo was just embarrassing.

 

The Quebec Nordiques logo was odd. Up close, you could tell it was part of an igloo with a hockey stick, but far away it looked like a goofy elephant.

I think that the concept of having a team named after a natural disaster that kills thousands in the area is just stupid. So it's fair to say any logo related to it is stupid.

I'll mockup my favorites and least favorites:

 

TOP:

1. Chicago Blackhawks

2. St. Louis Blues

3. Detroit Red Wings

4. Buffalo Sabres

5. Minnesota Wild (many hate it, but I love it)

6. Tampa Bay Lightning

7. New Jersey Devils

8. San Jose Sharks

9. Pittsburgh Penguins

10. Arizona Coyotes

 

Worst:

30. Washington Capitals (they don't even have a logo, really)

29. Carolina Hurricanes

28. Dallas Stars (such nice jerseys, but bevels are lame)

27. New York Islanders (just boring)

26. Colorado Avalanche

25. Philadelphia Flyers (I know it's supposed to be a P, but I never think of it as that)

24. Nashville Predators (sabretooth is our thing)

23. Florida Panthers (meh, boring and basic)

22. Calgary Flames (if your "c" is flaming you should get it checked out)

21. Columbus Blue Jackets

It's supposed to be a P?

Hurricanes logo is a flushing toilet.

 

I almost made a "which is basically what a hurricane going through Raleigh is" joke, but I actually like the area.

I like the red/black flag logo.

 

Also, swords have almost certainly killed more people than hurricanes.

 

 

 

 

 

jeez, at this point I'm trolling myself.

But it's only one flag. That's only a tropical storm.

Shouldn't the Capitals be the CAPITALS?

 

I always enjoyed the Capitol logo for the Capitals. Just incompetent branding :)

 

to be fair, the capitol is one of the most iconic structures in the capital.

Probably the most iconic (unless you think the Washington Monument, which wouldn't look good on a uniform, is more iconic).

 

Sometimes I really miss living there.

Even though I despise the team and their fans, I always thought their logo was cleverly designed. It's a P with feathers (Flyers, eh?) and the upper part of the P looks like a hockey puck (or a faceoff dot). It is also boring.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
