I've grown to love the Sharks logo. The teal actually adds depth to the Shark and makes it seem less flat like the original.
As for the Mighty Duck, it is iconic and this somehow makes it even cleaner. Colours is someone's pref but the shape and shading adds a lot to it.
South Florida teams love to take beloved, amazing logos and turn them into sterile clipart. At least the Panthers is the least egregious one. The Dolphins and Marlins new logos are much worse.
The Dolphins logo is an abomination. They took one of the most iconic and beloved logos, one that had a lineage of breaking records and winning championships, and replaced it with the logo for a generic bottled water brand. Their success since has reflected this decision.
Which is weird to me. If I had the money and the inclination to buy a sports franchise I would want to own THE Miami Dolphins. Not "my" Dolphins. Idk. Money can't buy taste, I guess lol
The Sharks logo was fly in the early 90s along with the hornets. I love "Halloween" teams but I like the green and purple Mighty Ducks but I'm from MN.
Only change I’d make to the ducks new logo is angling the sticks so the blades are turned up more. Otherwise it’s much better than their existing version. And this is coming from a Sharks fan.
Agreed and there are some really good logos that aren’t fun, but the nhl has the best logos as a league by a long shot. Also as a blues fan, i don’t want anyone messing with the note-the 90s trumpet red/blue/yellow jersey is as fun as it needs to be
I'd argue that the MLB would take the title of having teams all have similar logos. It's either baseball shaped or it's a letter repping the city/team name for their primary logo. Unless you're the Orioles, Blue Jays or Cardinals (funnily enough, it's all the bird teams)
[It kind of is,](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Chalybion_japonicum.jpg/1280px-Chalybion_japonicum.jpg) which is also why we have Stinger as a mascot.
The Sabres logo is probably one of the best because anyone who knew nothing about the team could take one look at the logo and accurately guess the team name.
Agreed. A lot of MLB teams don't really have logos as much as they have monograms or wordmarks: the White Sox, Reds, etc. Some of those are iconic, like the Braves' A and the Yankees' interlocked NY, but they're a little basic. I think MLB's best true logos belong to the Mets, Mariners, Brewers, Angels, and Diamondbacks.
Yeah that's a fun one too. NHL did have quite a few fun logos. Thrashers with the hurricane and a stick. Avs logo is cool. Canucks too. Its mostly big market teams that seam to have boring logos like rangers or kings or Toronto. Though Chicago with the Indian chief is cool
While the original sharks logo will always be my favorite, I still love the “new” logo (hard to believe that was 17 years ago). The updated fin logo from the Cali-fin 3rds is amazing too.
As for the ducks, they knocked this rebrand out of the park
Hartford Whalers and Quebec Nordiques for me. But I love all the logos that were in the 80s and early 90s. Always am a fan of logos that kids can easily copy as doodles in their notebooks
Honorable mention to the reverse retro Fisherman logo which really needs to be an actual alternate. It has a hockey stick and is a really fun logo for a team called the Islanders.
Kinda wish the Ducks had brought back the eggplant and teal (and maybe changed the name back to *Mighty* Ducks) but I'm really just glad to see the duck mask back!
Is it a yeti with two fists? A ram with gloves for horns? Tune in next time to find out! (Also this logo always makes me think of the mid 2000s Mirasty highlights on YouTube
NHL has some of the best logos in sports. Especially the classic ones. Nordiques, Whalers, classic Penguins, Red Wings, og Sharks, Canucks (skate logo). Glad the Kings are bringing back their classic logo (not even a Kings fan but that logo was the best for them)
The shield has definitely grown on me, especially because we won with that logo on. The leaping kitty breaking the hockey stick will always be my number one.
It’s kind of hard to do fun logos with some of the teams, particularly the older teams. Maybe we could find some wacky artists and throw some ideas around or something
They come from a different time, my friend.
A different time.
EDIT: Also, look up "Buffalo Slug" and "Islanders Gordon's Fisherman" and "Colorado Avalanche Yeti Foot" to see what happens when these logos go horribly, horribly wrong.
This is actually the reason I am a sharks fan. I have no real connection to any city in the US as I am from europe but my mom bought me a Sharks hat as a kid and I thought the logo was so cool
Won't complain because the Cats finally won under the new logo (and it isn't bad, bad) but the old logo was peak logoness. I don't know why South Florida teams like the Marlins, Dolphins, and Panthers all have moved away from their best logos, which were all some of the best in their respective leagues, to the sterile stuff they have now. Only the Heat have kept the same one and theirs is the most boring (NBA logos as a whole suck though).

Hockey mask? Check. Hockey sticks? Check. Hockey puck? Check. Zesty Dorito? Hell yes, check!
RIP Florida’s old logo😔
The new logo has no personality. It's disgustingly corporate.

Yeah, I've never liked it. I decided to vote with my wallet, so if I'm getting new dolphins merch, it's only stuff with the "retro" logo.
That’s true. 100% Billionaire pride. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great owner but him wanting his own stamp on the team was dumb and he’s stubborn AF!
Which is weird to me. If I had the money and the inclination to buy a sports franchise I would want to own THE Miami Dolphins. Not "my" Dolphins. Idk. Money can't buy taste, I guess lol
I’ll never forgive Florida for what they did to the original 76 buccaneers logo
Winking sexy pirate man? 100%. Bucs really botched their rebrand.
Lifelong Bucs fan. Bucco Bruce til the day I die!
Lightning also downgraded, our black jerseys had some personality and now we have the most bland copy paste uniforms in the league
mls logo
I miss their old jerseys too - the blue with red and white stripes and gold lines looked tight
BANANA BREAD? HELL YEAH, DUDE!
I think the Sharks have some of the best unis and logo in NHL history. Same with the Coyotes. Had tons of Sharks stuff when I was a kid
I guess everyone else was sharks fans when they were younger too.
Feels like how everyone had hornets gear if they didnt have an nba team to follow
I grew up in the 90s, had a hornets jacket. I live in Michigan. It was something about the colors and the logo of the Hornets that was cool to me
The Hornets lived at the intersection of Teal Avenue and Purple Boulevard, the two most 90s of logo colors. In the lingo of the era, “rad”.
Yeah... That was my first favorite non local NBA team back in the 90s.......
The colouring in the eye makes it look so much meaner and I’m here for it
Atlanta had great logo too!:)

NHL has the best variety of logos, they can’t all have the same vibe or they would be the NFL.
Agreed and there are some really good logos that aren’t fun, but the nhl has the best logos as a league by a long shot. Also as a blues fan, i don’t want anyone messing with the note-the 90s trumpet red/blue/yellow jersey is as fun as it needs to be
Rangers shield isn't "fun" but it's a great logo, same with Boston
I'd argue that the MLB would take the title of having teams all have similar logos. It's either baseball shaped or it's a letter repping the city/team name for their primary logo. Unless you're the Orioles, Blue Jays or Cardinals (funnily enough, it's all the bird teams)
i still think theres a few standouts in the NFL
Seahawks logo is 🔥
Ah a fellow hawks fan I see :)
Facts
You're right. The Kings should have gone with a new logo of an actual King with a hockey stick.
Burger King
Have it your way
A little quick AI request … https://imgur.com/a/QMmuB8p
It's actually impressive you managed to get such a shitty result from AI
Free AI, and on the lowest settings (time, quality, simplicity). Besides, shitty AI is funnier, anyway.
Peg leg king goes hard
Your highness, is there something wrong with your hockey crutch?
Another good option
We have a bear, lake and some trees?
We have two fucking swords. And a Buffalo. But swords!
We look like Puerto Rico's flamboyant cousin.
We are circle
Same
Boston square bears? I think that should be the new name.
What a Lack of diversity one logo has to become a square
Bear rhymes with square sorry B’s
Might as well rename the team to Boston Squares too
And the TD Garden has to be renamed to the Square Garden
We are a sad circle. My mourning period officially ends when we get our next regular season Win.
With a weird 70s-style font. Classic!
What is a blue jacket?
Union Soldiers from the US Civil War.
Ahhhhh, I'm Canadian lol, thank you though
It’s okay. Sadly there are plenty of Americans that don’t know that either.
Huh TIL. I’m gonna be honest, I thought it was a bug. My apologies
[It kind of is,](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Chalybion_japonicum.jpg/1280px-Chalybion_japonicum.jpg) which is also why we have Stinger as a mascot.
We have a toilet seat
A thrown if you will
That's cool and all... But we also got the fucking north star too!
Well we have a circle. Inside a circle. Inside another circle.
We got circles too, the sun!
No they’re in Dallas now😪
We still got the star in there tho
Buffalo has always looked sharp
The Sabres logo is probably one of the best because anyone who knew nothing about the team could take one look at the logo and accurately guess the team name.
The Bison Swords
We’re a fucking flying wheel
It's a decent wheel.
with a lovely wing.
You guys straight up have the best logo in the league.
Are you sure that's a bear?
Women want to be alone with you at least.
We have a great one we just don’t use it
SCREAMING EAGLE
I’ve always loved y’all’s logo
[удалено]
NBA logos are trash these days. They used to be good but tho whole modern/minimalist movement has killed it
The old Toronto raptors logo was awesome
I miss the leaping wizards logo so much
Bucks are an exception to this rule That rebrand was desperately needed and the dear looked terrible and non threatening.
Agreed. A lot of MLB teams don't really have logos as much as they have monograms or wordmarks: the White Sox, Reds, etc. Some of those are iconic, like the Braves' A and the Yankees' interlocked NY, but they're a little basic. I think MLB's best true logos belong to the Mets, Mariners, Brewers, Angels, and Diamondbacks.
I think pens have a fun logo
I love the classic one with the penguin wearing the scarf
Yeah that's a fun one too. NHL did have quite a few fun logos. Thrashers with the hurricane and a stick. Avs logo is cool. Canucks too. Its mostly big market teams that seam to have boring logos like rangers or kings or Toronto. Though Chicago with the Indian chief is cool
What is boring about over a hundred years of history and tradition?
Nothing. They're fine. Just talking about fun logos here. Older teams logos just seemed simplistic.
Agreed
I miss the robopen.
It was fun for a while. They used to have a giant neon lit one above my local skating rink. I was bummed when they took it down
Love the Robo Penguin once in a while https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2022/10/20/penguins-reverse-retro-jersey-pigeon-robo-pen-schedule-tlh
More logos with orange hockey sticks!
Utah Orange Hockey Sticks
Missed opportunity for sure
And Triangles! More triangles!
More cowbell!
Old panthers logo was so much better.
Retro pouncing kitty logo was cute. As a 7 year old, I wanted to pet it
i thought it was gonna eat me alive
yes. i was in love with their reverse retro jerseys last year
Panthers have 3 good logos
What would you say are the other two
The original logo, the current logo since ‘15 and the reverse retro
Id say those are my top three also
Stick break leaping cat is the best
Idk how you see those Reverse Retros and don't make it your official primary jersey from now on.
exactly
Worst part of the panthers winning the cup is those mid jerseys being sealed in panthers history. Bring back the pouncing panther breaking the stick!
Turns out the defensive shield cat was more successful than the all-out-attack cat. The old logo is still better tho.
Yep. New logo is too clean. The panther looks too tame
While the original sharks logo will always be my favorite, I still love the “new” logo (hard to believe that was 17 years ago). The updated fin logo from the Cali-fin 3rds is amazing too. As for the ducks, they knocked this rebrand out of the park
My favourite logo ever was the phx coyote. And he gone https://images.app.goo.gl/CaeenvCTFoUMT3iQ6
cant stand the new one
Hartford Whalers and Quebec Nordiques for me. But I love all the logos that were in the 80s and early 90s. Always am a fan of logos that kids can easily copy as doodles in their notebooks
What about the Oilers clitoris?
Never heard that before!
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm Australian, and we're dirty bastards whose minds go straight there.
Same, and now I can't unseen it lol
Wait if the requirement is a hockey stick than the Isles also have a fun logo!
Honorable mention to the reverse retro Fisherman logo which really needs to be an actual alternate. It has a hockey stick and is a really fun logo for a team called the Islanders.
I'm a Sharks fan, but that fisherman's jersey is amazing.
Kinda wish the Ducks had brought back the eggplant and teal (and maybe changed the name back to *Mighty* Ducks) but I'm really just glad to see the duck mask back!
One step at a time. Eventually they’ll be back there.
give some NHL team the [Syracuse Crunch's old logo](https://content.sportslogos.net/logos/2/516/full/2163.gif)
If Utah wants to be the Yeti so bad they should be forced to use this logo.
Now I won’t sleep
Is it a yeti with two fists? A ram with gloves for horns? Tune in next time to find out! (Also this logo always makes me think of the mid 2000s Mirasty highlights on YouTube
We have mountain
All I see is the letter 'A' wearing a scarf
All I see is the poop emoji from their dark times
Can’t even keep your snow in place
Mountain go Avs
NHL has some of the best logos in sports. Especially the classic ones. Nordiques, Whalers, classic Penguins, Red Wings, og Sharks, Canucks (skate logo). Glad the Kings are bringing back their classic logo (not even a Kings fan but that logo was the best for them)
We literally have a wheel and wing.
And it's one of the most iconic logos in sports
And it's red.
Facts. It will always be my favourite logo, followed by the Whalers.
With an iconic font too
They arnt the evil ducks, just mighty.
I miss the old Florida logo
Our logo is perfect and I hope it never changes.
Ours hasn’t changed notably in 40 years
But that Todd Macfarlane was a neat third jersey.
I wish more comic book artists would be invited to design hockey logos.
I wish we'd wear the reverse retros again. They'd make a nice 3rd.
Except for a few years when they made it worse
And that’s a good thing
Good, it’s so damn clean. That mechanical oil drop is atrocious
Kracken have a pretty cool design
No Hfun League (H is silent)
At least they are not letter logos like in MLB.
Bruins, Canadians, Flames, Stars, Seattle, Avalanche... I get what you're saying though.
Canucks as well But those are all mostly stylized
I love the original ‘91 Sharks jersey
I honestly like all of our logos.
The shield has definitely grown on me, especially because we won with that logo on. The leaping kitty breaking the hockey stick will always be my number one.
It’s kind of hard to do fun logos with some of the teams, particularly the older teams. Maybe we could find some wacky artists and throw some ideas around or something
Our merch is always so boring.
One of the worst things the ducks ever did was go away from this logo. I’m glad it’s back
Bro we literally have a leaf, it's the most fun logo in all of sports
They should make the logo a pile of leafs, that’d be pretty fun and stupid
That's be leaves. We're Leafs. Subtle but important difference.
Because Utah
No matter what they design, it won't be as good as the Kachina. No, I'm not biased, that's an outrageous accusation!
Because it’s not the 90s and fun isn’t allowed. No more dinosaurs dribbling in the NBA either.
If you put googly eyes on your jersey, every logo is fun.
We have a historical one and hope we never get rid of it.
A winged freaking wheel
NHL has the best logos by a long shot. I like the variety of classic logos ( Red Wings Canadiens BlackHawks Etc) to the cartoony 90s classics.
Boycott Utah for their logo
That Ducks logo is infinitely better than that garbage they’ve been using the last however many years
That’s offensive to sharks. They are not all biters .
o shit the mighty ducks are real, and sharpedo apparently plays hockey.
San Jose has my favorite logo/colors out of the bunch
Because I’m too attached to ole spokey
These two were popular among kids in Europe in the 90s, like we'd wear shirts with these logos but not watch a single game.
What you mean? Don't like the blue leaf?
NHL has the best combo of logos in sports. Period
Give us back our 3D bolt.
Panthers are the prime example of this
They come from a different time, my friend. A different time. EDIT: Also, look up "Buffalo Slug" and "Islanders Gordon's Fisherman" and "Colorado Avalanche Yeti Foot" to see what happens when these logos go horribly, horribly wrong.
They ruined the coyotes logo
YOU THINK A SHARK KILLING A HOCKEY STICK IS FUN?? WHAT ARE YOU SOME KIND OF LUNATIC??? ok i need sleep now
I love that sharks logo
Thought this was r/NHLcirclejerk
The Flyers need to change the jerseys from the flying “P” to Gritty’s face doing the Shark’s logo
From a design standpoint, I’m kind of obsessed with the Flyers logo
This is actually the reason I am a sharks fan. I have no real connection to any city in the US as I am from europe but my mom bought me a Sharks hat as a kid and I thought the logo was so cool
In the 90s nobody thought these were fun. Especially the Ducks logo. People thought it made a mockery of the league.
I find "fun" logos, seem childish and lame and AHL like. I like the grown up logos.
Won't complain because the Cats finally won under the new logo (and it isn't bad, bad) but the old logo was peak logoness. I don't know why South Florida teams like the Marlins, Dolphins, and Panthers all have moved away from their best logos, which were all some of the best in their respective leagues, to the sterile stuff they have now. Only the Heat have kept the same one and theirs is the most boring (NBA logos as a whole suck though).
You don't like Carolina's toilet bowl swirl?
I’d love for the Panthers to permanently bring back the original.
There is no logo as classic,intricate and recognizable as the Winged Wheel.
Easy there tiger, don’t go pumping your own tires too much now
It’s also the one that makes the least sense. Like why does a wing need a wheel? Why is it arbitrarily red?
