This morning, both the LA Kings and Anaheim Ducks unveiled the jerseys they’ll be wearing for the upcoming Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium on January 25, 2014. The nice thing about having these sort of one-off games, and having jerseys for them, is that you know exactly what your opponent will be wearing and can plan […]
Recently, I put out an open call for which logo should be next in the BTLNHL Vintage series. The response was overwhelmingly les Nordiques du Québec. People seem to love this logo and I can see why. Like Lil Bub, it’s extremely loveable. And with all the discussion on a possible relocation or expansion back to Quebec […]

This morning the Swedish 2014 Olympic Jersey were unveiled (click here if you speak Swedish, here if you can’t), and while Nike still added their absolutely ridiculous glossy features to the jersey (I’m looking at you fake laces), the overall design is pretty nice. You know why it’s pretty nice? Because for once, they didn’t mess with the tradition […]
Nike. You’re drunk. Go home. Seeing the Russian and American 2014 Olympic jerseys side-by-side, there’s a few elements that make it painfully clear that Nike strong-armed the design process of all the jerseys to conform to some elements that they specifically wanted.

The Avalanche are not the NHL’s first foray into the Denver area. And MLB’s Rockies are not the first team in Denver to be called as such. In 1976, the Kansas City Scouts moved to Denver to become the Colorado Rockies, until 1982 when they moved again to New Jersey to become the Devils. For six years, […]
I remember the first time I saw the “H” in the Hartford Whalers logo. I think I was around 9 or 10 years old and it absolutely blew my mind. Just in case you still haven’t had the same Whalers epiphany, here you go. You’re welcome. As anyone who has read this blog knows, I’m a […]

The inaugural edition of the BTLNHL Vintage series looks at a team that most fans over a certain age didn’t know even existed. They have absolutely no legacy to speak of, no history of winning, no success with building a solid fan base, and seemingly no contribution to the NHL despite existing for 9 years, […]
