Interesting story behind how they were named "Flyers". Also some grumbling about the Sabres still being in it in the comments. Quote But (Bill) Putnam and Snider don’t remember anything grabbing them until one night on the New jersey Turnpike when Snider, his wife, his sister Phyllis and her husband Earl Foreman, and the Putnam’s stopped at a Howard Johnson’s, ordered from the list of 28 flavors, and kicked around some similar number of names. On their way home after seeing a Broadway show, they were looking for a stopper name for their hockey team. “I was thinking of people skating and sliding around the ice,” Phyllis recalls, “and the ‘Flyers’ just popped into my head. Everybody thought it was great.” According to that story, other names that were submitted included Greenbacks, Liberty Bell, Philly-Billies, Blizzards, Bashers, Sabres and Bruisers. :o Quote

Horrid. :sick: Edited August 11, 2014 by Sabre Dance Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Posted August 12, 2014 How it made it this far is certainly a head scratcher, but here you go.... Number 9: Anaheim Ducks Quote

Quote Dissenting opinion: “I really have no idea how this ended up at No. 9, but here we are. I move that any THN staffer who had a hand in placing this one in the top 10 should never have a vote in logo rankings again!” – Rory Boylen Yeah, I'm guessing that this guy had it in the bottom five, and I'd imagine a few of the remaining six must have had it middle of the pack, so a few guys at THN must believe this is a top 5 NHL logo.

LastPommerFan Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 Obviously Samueli hasn't learned his lesson about buying people off. Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 How the hell is the Dallas D still in the running, that logo is atrocious. Quote
Hoss Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 I actually like the Ducks' logo, but I HATE the Stars... Crazy. Quote
darksabre Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 The Ducks logo is ridiculous. I'm officially done following this ranking. Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 12, 2014 Report Posted August 12, 2014 I mean the D in the star just looks stupid. Quote

The main issue with the Dallas logo is the D with its points look like some intern photoshopped that ###### thing on there. I mean some of the star points touch some partially touch, it looks like bad photo shop. Quote
Cereal Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Hmmm, Boston #7: http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/nhl-logo-rankings-no-7-boston-bruins/ So that leaves..... Arizona, Buffalo, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, and St. Louis. Quote

But out of those teams remaining, it is top two IMO, and the Sabres would come next. The rest of the final six is utterly baffling :P Quote

Nowadays I think I dislike it only because they dropped the red! Quote

The crazy amount of colors used is what usually puts it over the top. At this point is pick Arizona as my dark horse. There's just something about the simplicity of their uniforms in general which really won me over when they first came out. Quote
