![]() Its preceding organization, called the National Hockey Association had just been disbanded,Īnd its members were looking for a replacement to take over.

One of the four major sports leagues in the United States andĬanada, it consists of 32 teams, with twenty-five hailing from the US, and seven from Canada. The NHL is considered as the premier ice hockey league in the world, with players willing to sign with an NHLįranchise hailing from countries as far as Finland. In fifth behind the NFL, MLB, NBA, and the English Premier League in terms of wealth and revenue. The NHL, or National Hockey League, is one of the biggest professional sports associations around the world. History of the National Hockey League Logos and the NHL Itself Every one of these symbols used by various athletic teams, from the NFL’s Cardinals, to the MLB’s Yankees, perfectly represents their brand and its values to their consumers.Ĭoming back to the NHL, let’s discover the logos used by the National Hockey League and its franchises, and find out what makes each of these symbols so iconic. If we take a look at any NBA or NHL logos, weĭiscover that every team has a logo that specifically brings to mind their respective franchise.Īnd while we agree that some franchises are better at it than others, no can deny that each of these sports logos is iconic in its own rights. And that isĮspecially true for many sports and athletic organization. Organizations around the world rely on unique brand symbols to represent their brand identity. The difference here for the player/team references is that these are usually names where it's harder to come up with a logo to attached ot it.The Evolution of the Top NHL Team Logos and the History Behind Them Fantasy hockey team names: usually a reference to an NHL player.Player or team references: a number of "play on words" of NHL players or team names.Pop culture references: there's more than a handful of hockey movies out there.Be careful who's looking over your shoulder when scrolling through these. Dirty/NSFW team names: for teams who like to push the envelope with their convener.Women's team names: a few names specifically designed for the ladies!.In the words of one of our former goalies, "Well, I don't come for the hockey!" Beer-related team names: when you can't resist a good beer reference.We've created jerseys for thousands of teams across North America, so these are ones we'd call "more unique" or "less common" than those in the "classic" category. Creative/funny hockey team names: similar to classic team names, but a bit more clever (at least we think). ![]() Classic beer league hockey team names: fun names we commonly hear, but you probably wouldn't use for your kids' teams.Traditional team names: more names we generated that follow the usual "serious hockey franchise" vibe. ![]() Minor league, college, and junior hockey team names: nicknames used AHL, ECHL, NCAA, and junior A, B, and C teams (when you want to sound like a serious hockey team, but also stand out with something more unique).Pro team names: nicknames used by current or former NHL or WHA teams (when you want to be traditional).In a number of cases we came up with/found names that straddled multiple categories, so tried to pick where we thought it fit best! To help you navigate the below lists here is what to expect in each category. We've even provided pictures when we've created them ourselves for customers and managed to snag a pic! Now, let us assure you: most of this list is comprised of real team names that have been used by a team somewhere, at some point. There's a time and place for every team name: you wouldn't want your son or daughter's team named "Book Hockey", but sometimes your beer league team needs to spice it up a bit more than something generic and overused like "Leafs" or "Warriors". Just like we try to do when you're ordering your jerseys, we've tried to make it easy by breaking these names into sub-categories. Now, we didn't want to baffle you with one of these annoying lists where you scroll through hundreds of names not knowing where to stop. No team name = no sweaters, sorry boys and girls! It's not like picking up a few extra pucks or the post game brews: you need a logo, team colours, sizing, payment from the team (arguably the most important part), some time for us to print and ship them.but it all starts generating a team name. Ordering jerseys for your hockey team is a process. ![]()
