NHL Tournament of Logos

So many sports sites are all about stats and rules. Base percentages, offsides, penalty shots, shootouts, championships won and lost, blah blah blah. Or it's boring old "my team's better than your's, no it's not, yes it is." Luckily, one web site stands head and hockey stick above the rest. The NHL Tournament of Logos focuses its energy on the jerseys and the fancy insignias upon them.

We're talking graphic design here, sports fans! Colors, stripes, lettering, giant As, and huge music notes. This hockey season, the league is moving to a more-fitted style of jersey called the "Rbk Edge," so jersey news abounds. But even without the "edge," this blog takes on history like the original Bruins and Maple Leafs logos. You'll also find wacky concept art for baggy uniforms that will never be. And every week, people vote in battle of the logos, which pitts one team's logo against another's or challenges old logos with new ones from within the same team. Now you can take that trash talk to a whole new designer level.
