Team Traditions
Tuesday, March 23, 2010 @ 06:03 PM
In the world of professional sports, it seems like some organizations alter their logo or color scheme on an annual basis. Whether this is to redefine their image or simply to force people to purchase new merchandise (probably the latter), it is difficult to keep up with this every changing landscape. However, there are some teams so rooted in tradition that to change their logo would be heresy.
The NHL is rife with these organizations that represent the foundation of the game. Teams like the Bruins, Canadians, Maple Leafs, etc. have hardly—if ever—altered their original NHL team logos. Call me old-fashioned, but I admire the tradition and historic appeal of these classic teams.
