These 2018 PyeongChang Olympics isn’t the first time the NHL didn’t participate in the quadrennial hockey tournament, and it probably won’t be the last either (looking at you, Bettman). But that doesn’t change the fact that a team representing Canada has always been there*, wearing something. *Okay, Canada actually didn’t have a team at the […]
We here at Hockey By Design tend to focus on the NHL as much as possible (although if you love American college hockey, we got you covered there too), and as we all know, there won’t be any current NHLers or AHLers participating in the PyeongChang Olympic Games. But there definitely will be some former […]
Opening Ceremonies for the 2018 Winter Olympics are just around the corner, but for the first time since the late 90’s, NHL players won’t be there.

And on Tuesday, Adidas unveiled their first specialty jerseys […]
This is it, the definitive (and only) power rankings for NHL team brands. And it’s based on more than just a subjective opinion about each team – there’s actual math/science/statistics behind it. For those interested, I’ll outline how the rankings were calculated. Don’t care? Click here to jump right down to the ranking themselves. What is a […]
We’re back with another team’s entry into the Logo Concept canon, this time focusing on the Vancouver Canucks. Their current logo seems to split the Canucks’ fandom and hockey fans in general (i.e. me versus everyone else, apparently), so they’re a prime candidate to look at some of the best concepts that the online hockey design […]

With the switch from Reebok to Adidas for the 2017-18 season, the new uniform manufacturer unveiled what each team will be wearing next year on their home rinks. There are a tons of […]
