NHL Logo Rankings

[Huckleberry]

I don't think the Blue jackets logo is that bad at all.

Thanks for recapping Eleven. I was too busy fishing, swimming, beaching and drinking at the Outer Banks last week.

 

Number 15: Nashville Predators

The top ones are all going to be about as close to circular as possible. There will be a few exceptions (Chicago), but the circles always win out.

[BagBoy]

I can't help but wonder where The Slug would have made its appearance on this list. Pretty darned near #30 if you ask me.

Number 15: Nashville Predators

 

So the Nashville logo is a sabre-tooth, and the Sabres mascot is Sabretooth.

 

Tim Murray needs to trade Sabretooth to Nashville for Predators Ice Dancers.

 

This just seems like a no brainer to me.

Unanimous pick for #30. No question about it.

 

Goat head would have been in the low 20's IMO.

I still like the goat head. Colors, design, corresponding unis...everything. I also associate it with my favorite Sabres player and team, so I'm sure that's some of it.

That Mika Noronen led '03-'04 team was special.

Number 14: New York Rangers

 

I like the fan-boy comment that it's super-distinct as the Rangers logo even if you remove the lettering and color. Ha. If you remove the lettering, it could be a logo for a government agency or a road sign.

Unanimous pick for # 37 of 30. No question about it.

Fixed it for ya.;)

 

And I'd expect Shatanic goat would have been upper teens.

I was horrified when the Goat's Heads were first introduced, but I really learned to like those jerseys a lot.

[Doohicksie]

I always thought the Goat Head looked like a logo for a minor league or college team.

Should've been b&g, then it'd've looked sharp. ;)

I expect the Sabres to suffer in the rankings simply because they once had the slug. That stench is hard to shake. Teams that have ###### logos have typically gone from one shade of ###### to the next over the years. Yet the Sabres, with their iconic original logo in the vaults and available to go back to actually chose to instead wear one the worst logos in the history of sports. Inexcusable.

I expect them to be top 10, though they deserve to be top 4. Their having changed around will drop them a few slots, but I doubt they'll show up ~12.

Bring back Sammy the Sabre! (and the Ice Dancers, too - thanks!)

Original six teams continue to fall...

 

Number 13: Montreal Canadiens

I would expect the opposite. If you have a crappy logo and return to a good one, it looks that much better after being forced to see that slug.

Number 12: Florida Panthers

 

Number 11: Minnesota Wild

 

I believe these are the remaining teams..

 

Anaheim, Arizona, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Philly, Pittsburgh, St. Louis.

 

Out of that group the Sabres have to be top five.

[Hoss]

Dallas is one of those that I don't think should be anywhere near a top 10. Bevels aren't cool.

[JujuFish]

I really like the Wild logo. It would be higher than 11th on my list.

Yea fully agree. I don't get how that's a top 10/15
