The Carolina Hurricanes got their start from the historic franchise from Connecticut in the Hartford Whalers franchise. Say what you will about hockey in Hartford but the Whalers logo, colors, and uniforms are some of the best seen by this league.
The symbol is simple yet creative with the hidden “H” in the middle of it all. The variations of the secondary logos throughout the time are fun, especially the shoulder patch with the little whale.
Recently, the Hurricanes paid tribute to the Whalers by wearing an extra jersey for special occasions which then turned into a Hartford Whalers night at PNC Arena.
