Soccer Style NHL Crests

[TNT87]

Some of these are real nice. I don't like the Penguins one at all though.

 

[snailderby]

I really like the ones for Florida and Tampa Bay! Hats off to the designer.

I was wondering why Arizona looked like a cartoon character and then it hit me.

You are missing the point. The crests are not meant to be original, they are inspired by existing crests. So they have features like stars that come from the original crest.

I don't care whether they're original or derivative, they're terrible either way.

I guess you're telling me that a ton of soccer teams have stars in their logo?

 

[Leafs87]

Damn some of them look amazing

They're not "in" the logo, they're just incorporated above the crest. But for the most part, yes. And when you have 55+ domestic leagues operating in some fashion for the better part of the last 115 years (collapses, breakups, and reunifications included), you're going to have a lot clubs with a lot of history they want to display. A silver or gold star to represent every however-many titles has become the common way to show said history.

Not everyone in the world uses banners to commemorate championships like we do in our North American leagues. They're large, clumsy, and can only be displayed in one location at a time. All in all, they're not very practical but they're rooted in history and tradition. And I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if we were alone in their use.

To answer your question ... yes. Stars represent different things depending on the league or country (e.g. # of league titles).. but yes there are lots of stars.

Any guesses how many times Brazil has won the World Cup?

You missed an obvious one for NY Rangers, right colours as well.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Those are really good. Hope they never happen again though

You should have done them in alphabetical order. Kind of confusing at first

 

[542365]

Yuck. No thanks.

The stars indicate the number of championships won. One star usually stands for 1 championship won. For the more successful teams 1 star stands for 10 championships won.

In that sense, then, the Montréal Canadiens' soccer logo is missing one gold star. 2 x 10 + the 4 small white ones... Detroit Red Wings' is missing 1 gold, 1 small white... Toronton Maple Leafs' is missing 1 gold, 4 small white... etc

But good lard do I hate the way it's done in Europe, with the sponsor having its logo in front and the team having only a small crest somewhere on the jersey.

Not all soccer clubs have sponsors but the crest is always small and usually on the left because of tradition.

 

[Spinkis]

Really nice, NHL has a lot to learn from soccer when it comes to logos.

And i guess that u/MolightningBro is MoenInGlory of HF?

Sounds like you aren't aware that hockey is played outside North America too. And in these leagues, banners are used to commemorate championships.

What comes to these logos: they are all awful.

call me cwazy but nashvilles is DOPE. fresh AF. SWAG!

 

[Endless rain]

Awesome work, kudos.

 

[Jayevs]

You're crazy










No but for real easily the worst one IMO

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

The Bruins logo stands out. It looks a lot better than all the other ones. It also looks better than most current NHL logos.

Mostly because it seems that a lot more time was spent designing the bear than any other logos.

 

[Sheva7]

Hey these r pretty neat!

Awesome work!

 

[LyGuy]

Very neat but where's the credit to the creator?

 

[dahrougem2]

I really like that Montreal logo. In fact I like almost all of these more than the current logos in the NHL.

 

[Extra Texture]

Pretty damn cool. I Originally thought the Ducks one was sourced from Crystal Palace but I guess I could the originator using Tottenham.

Really loved what they did with the Blues, Arizona, and especially Carolina. They look awesome. Tampa should give this guy a call and buy that design off him. Would be a cool alternate logo

Montreal and Washington are really good.

Ottawa and Pittsburgh are horrible.

Rest are meh.

So the less identifiable/more generic ones that are passable as new logos are bad in your eyes, whereas that are blatant knockoffs are somehow better? Weird opinion to have

Oh I know. I definitely had something written out about the four major sports played in North America and elsewhere but ended up taking it out.
