ERAS COMBINED
I tasked myself with creating a new logo & a set of new uniforms for the Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL. The Hurricanes have had a number of changes to their uniforms and secondary logo since they moved to Raleigh in 1997. My main focus with this, the primary logo, has not been updated since 2000. I believe it is time to do so for the Hurricanes. With using the team's current logo outline, I wanted to pay homage to the Hartford Whalers, who the Hurricanes were prior to 1997. You can see a "C" & "H" within the design which signifies the team's initials.
I wanted to both mimic and honor Peter Good, the man behind the Hartford Whalers logo which he designed in 1979, arguably the best sports logo of all time. I thought what better way than to do such than with the team Hartford became after they relocated.
