Once again, we have boldly cast our design net into the deep ocean of the internet, to catch some great logo concepts from designers, artists, and sports fans. This time around, we went shark hunting and why not? The Sharks are currently competing in the Western Conference Final, and their bandwagon is growing more unruly […]
Well, round one was a doozy, to say the least. In addition to dozens of goals, handfuls of overtimes and players being pelted by light-up bracelets, we also saw a lot of great masks through the first eight series. • More: The 2016 Bucket Bracket Showdown (Round 1) We even saw some unexpected masks, like Michal Neuvirth and Petr Mrazek, […]
Ed. Note: Because we’re doing the best and worst logo in All-Star Game history, the Top 5 is temporarily a Top 4, and styled slightly different accordingly.) The NHL All-Star weekend is approaching, an annual event with a long history of questionable design choices. We have seen some nicer sweaters throughout the years too (although this year, not so much), but the […]
With 30 teams in the NHL, each with at least two goaltenders on their roster and some wearing multiple masks in one season, the league has seen thousands upon thousands of masks throughout its long history. Ok, so goalies didn’t actually wear masks until the late 50’s when Jacques Plante became the first NHL netminder to wear […]

Everything seems to be have confirmed the various leaks that came out for both teams’ uniforms over the last week or so, so we’ve had some time to […]
Seeing as how the shins are about 10% up the human body, it’s accurate to say that we’re now shins-deep into the new 2014-15 NHL season. Sure, “shins-deep” is a little (if ever) used expression but it’s definitely more accurate. Knees-deep is too deep. Balls-deep is just uncouth for this site. We’re not in over our heads either. Not even close. […]
A little while ago, I had the pleasure of chatting with Terry Smith, the designer behind the San Jose Sharks logo, both the original and the current redesign. After placing his logo at #25 in the BTLNHL archive, I was pleased he even took my call. In fact, he was very friendly and open to discussion. […]
After the last post, you had to know another ’90s animal-related team logo had to be coming up soon. Well, you didn’t have to wait long. With a slightly better logo than Florida, coming in at #25, is the San Jose Sharks. A lot of my feedback about this logo can pretty much be summed up by […]
