They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as part of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are one of two NHL teams in Pennsylvania, with the other... read more

   I totally hate this list. The Pens belong at number one, okay?

   Best logo! Best colors! Best team! Best fans! Best city!

   Penguins RULE! They should be number one. Why are they six?

5. Carolina Hurricanes

   

   The Carolina Hurricanes are a professional ice hockey team based in Raleigh, North Carolina. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The team won its first Stanley Cup championship in 2006.

They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference.

   I'll admit it, I like the Blues, so I wouldn't go for the Hawks, but the Sens' symbol blows the Blues' symbol away.

   The classic red, black, and white. The Sens make it the best. Teams see this jersey and they scream.

7. Toronto Maple Leafs

They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The team was... read more

   Simple, classic, recognizable from miles away. Teams like the Predators have too much going on with their jerseys. The Leafs are number one, hands down.

   Team colors are classic. I love the 1960s logo. I wish they would use the old logo again. They haven't won a single cup since switching to the current logo.

   Maple Leafs are the best. Go, Maple Leafs! Keep it up!

8. Chicago Blackhawks

   

   The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois. They compete in the Central Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League.

10. Boston Bruins

    

    Let's face it, there's almost nothing more intimidating and ferocious than a bear. The Bruins have, without a doubt, the best colors, logos, and players. (Not to mention that the Bruins have the best defenseman in NHL history, Bobby Orr!) Long live the Boston Bruins! Respect the B!

    Colors? Can anything truly be better than the black and gold? The big and bad are back!

The Newcomers

The Contenders

    The New York Islanders are a professional ice hockey team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team has won four consecutive Stanley Cups from 1980 to 1983.

    The logo represents Long Island, and the color scheme runs through New York. The Isles should be higher.

16. Washington Capitals

    

    The perfect name, Caps. Their perfect colors, red, white, and blue, and the perfect logo.

    Red, white, and blue is perfect for the nation's capital.

    Makes sense. They play in the U.S. capital.

17. Nashville Predators

    

    The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League. The team was established in 1998 and plays its home games at Bridgestone Arena.

    Man, I just love modernized logos like this. They look so crisp, and they don't just use default colors with a boring design.

    Anaheim Ducks. Best team ever. Who doesn't love orange, black, and metallic gold?

    QUACK! I loved it when they were the Mighty Ducks, but that's just me.

    Are you serious? The Anaheim Ducks are iconic in their uniforms. Who doesn't love the Mighty Ducks uniform, or the current one?

22. Minnesota Wild

    

    The Minnesota Wild are a professional ice hockey team based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. The team was established in 2000 and plays its home games at the Xcel Energy Center.
