Flyers vs Bruins

	vs
FLYERS		BRUINS
1-1		0-0

The Aesthetics
Here, both logos are very simple and very similar. Black and white are featured primarily with a slim helping of a color and each features the first letter of the home city. While the Bruins logo simply features a "B" in a circle, the "P" attached to a wing in the Flyers gives the feeling of movement and is therefore more eye-catching.

The Nickname
Assuming the Flyer is a bird, when it lands in the tree, the Bruin will climb up and eat it. Yum!
Bruins

The Analysis
Both teams have been around for a long time. And while the Bruins emblem has gone through many alterations and upgrades, the Flyers logo has remained largely the same throughout its lifetime. Cheers to staying power and Halloween colors.

Predators vs Kings

	vs
PREDATORS		KINGS
2-1		0-1

The Aesthetics
Both logos seem to have an equal amount of detail, but the Predators make use of more than one or two colors. Aside from black, white and silver, purple is the primary Kings color and there couldn't be a better one. After years of trying to come up with a good logo — failed attempts with purple/yellow and black/silver — the combination of past tries has resulted in a keeper. The Kings, but just by a hair.
Kings

The Nickname
The King rules the land and, if he wanted, could have a Predator of any kind shot dead on the spot. He's powerful.
Kings

The Analysis
The Kings have existed for 40 years but their one claim to fame is that Wayne Gretzky once brought greatness to the locker room. Without him, the team has never really proved itself as a perennial contender of any sort. Still, the logo is top-notch. I only wish they'd kept the coat of arms logo as the primary instead of switching it with the crown. For that reason, the point goes to the Predators, whose story we already know.

Wild vs Ducks

	vs
WILD		DUCKS
0-0		0-1

The Aesthetics
It doesn't take much to see that the Wild deserves this point over the Ducks. While the Ducks logo barely features a non-letter element, the Wild manages to work in a sunset behind a forest scene with a trail in the profile head of a bear with a "north star" as its eye. It certainly makes the best use of hidden features and I love it.
Wild

The Nickname
Ducks live in the Wild and need it to survive. The Wild however, would go on without Ducks.
Wild

The Analysis
As stated, the Wild is undoubtedly one of the cleverest logos in the NHL. The inclusion of so many Minnesota-related elements makes it top notch. Even the Ducks' new colors, of which I'm a fan, are nothing compared to the color combination used by the Wild. Plus, the Ducks logo's use of words over design elements leaves me wanting more.
