Rangers Primary Logo
The New York Rangers' primary logo has a long and storied history that dates back to the team's formation in 1926. The original logo featured an image of Lady Liberty holding a hockey stick with the word "Rangers" written across it. This iconic design was used for nearly 70 years until 1996 when it was replaced by an updated version featuring more modern colors and graphics.
The current iteration of the Rangers' primary logo debuted in 2011 and featured a blue shield with red trim around its edges, along with three white stars above it representing past Stanley Cup wins. Inside this shield is another circular shape containing two crossed hockey sticks, which symbolize strength and unity among players on the ice and fans off of it. Additionally, there is also text reading “New York” at the bottom portion of this circle to emphasize further where they hail from while proudly displaying their nickname “Rangers” just below that in bold lettering for all onlookers to see no matter how far away they may be standing from them or viewing them online or on television broadcasts worldwide!
Overall, these changes have been embraced by both longtime supporters as well as newer ones alike due not only because its symbolism but also for being aesthetically pleasing enough so that even non-hockey fans can appreciate what makes up such an essential part of one NHL team's identity: their beloved primary logo!
