45 Best Hockey Logos 2024
Updated: January 10, 2024 by Bill Burniece
I have always been interested in sports team logos.
Some are carefully designed using imagery and colors that perfectly represent the team they are created for. Others leave you scratching your head wondering who TF designed it.
There is a lot of thought and creativity that goes into most modern hockey logos.
On this page, I have listed my favorite hockey logos from a number of different hockey leagues.
Obviously, this list is subjective and expresses only my own opinion.
My favorite hockey team logos likely don’t align with all of yours. If you have any cool hockey logos that belong on my list just let me know.
Every hockey fan has their own favorite logos based on taste and the occasional homerism element of their local team.
Best NHL Hockey Logos
Chicago Blackhawks
It’s hard to beat the most iconic logo in NHL hockey. The logo colors in combination with the black and red jerseys rock.
Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild logo is beautifully designed with a forest landscape incorporated into a wild animal.
Detroit Red Wings
This classic logo is a tribute to the first winners of the Stanley Cup – the Montreal AAA Winged Wheelers.
Arizona Coyotes
This cool Kachina logo is based on the ancestral spirits of the Pueblo people. The southwest colors are perfect.
Boston Bruins
The black and gold Bruins logo celebrates Boston’s nickname of The Hub – as in hub of the solar system.
Winnipeg Jets
The Winnipeg Jets logo is just about perfect in its simplicity. This design is one of my favorite hockey team logos.
Cool Hockey Logos From The Past (NHL)
Minnesota North Stars
OK, I’m biased here. I grew up going to North Star games in Minnesota. But I still think this is a classic cool hockey logo.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets logo, like the Nordiques logo, represents the funky hockey team logos created in this period.
Quebec Nordiques
The Quebec hockey team logo with the igloo and hockey stick perfectly represents the logo design of that period.
Colorado Rockies
Love the color scheme and use of the Colorado state flag. The Rockies moved to New Jersey and became the Devils.
Hartford Whalers
The Hartford whale tail design is one of the coolest hockey team logos in NHL history in my humble opinion.
St. Louis Eagles
If you remember this NHL team from 1934-35 you’re a hell of a lot older than I am. Awesome hockey logo though.
Best AHL Hockey Logos
Bakersfield Condors
Bakersfield is affiliated with the Edmonton Oilers. Their logo has a bad-ass-looking condor perched on a hockey stick.

The Hersey Bears is affiliated with the Washington Capitals. Their logo features a bear and uses a chocolate color theme.
Best KHL Hockey Team Logos
Kunlun Red Star
The Kunlun Red Star is a Chinese ice hockey team. The yellow, black, and red pop and the little beast dude is cool.
Dinamo Riga Latvia
The Dinamo Riga Latvia logo is elaborate both in design and color. It looks more like a family crest than a logo.
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
The Lokomotiv Yaroslavl logo has a train and a flying puck all done in blue, red, and black. Very cool design.
Jokerit Finland
I like Jokerit Finland’s logo because it’s kind of goofy. Their nicknames are the Jokers and the Jesters.
Hockey Club Yugra
The HC Yugra logo features a pissed-off elephant and a really nice-looking badge logo of blue, green, and white.
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk
The impossible-to-pronounce Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk is a team out of Russia. They have a very cool logo.

Canada
Team Canada’s hockey logo is among the most recognized in the world. Their teams are always among the very best.

Finland’s hockey logo features a gold lion carrying a broadsword. The blue & gold color scheme is awesome.
Czech
The Czech Republic’s new hockey logo features a crown-wearing lion. The lion is the country’s official symbol.

The Windsor Spitfires logo has awesome colors and the British Spitfire plane sports the classic shark teeth.

Olds Grizzlys
The Olds Grizzlys hockey team has a fierce-looking grizzly bear using colors similar to the Boston Bruins.

The Vaasan Sport hockey team logo has a simple, but cool-looking eagle in red, black, and white.
Karpat Hockey Club
The super-successful Karpat hockey team has a nice logo using black, yellow, and white. No idea what the animal is.
Summary
Hockey team logos are cool.
The most recent NHL team design was created for the Seattle Kraken expansion team.
What is the Seattle Kraken logo supposed to be?
“At the core lies the Kraken’s crest paying tribute to the first American club to hoist the Stanley Cup — The Seattle Metropolitans. The clean bevel of the lettering emulates the time-honored tradition of hand carvings on historic vessels and is a reminder of where Seattle comes from.”

This explanation shows the amount of thought that can go into modern hockey logo design.
In the case of the Kraken, I think they did a great job.
The Kraken’s jerseys, logo, and color scheme are all spot-on in my opinion.
Thank you for reading my post on cool hockey logos.
A special thank you to Chris Creamer’s SportsLogos.net.
