Whalers Alternate Logo

The Hartford Whalers alternate logo has a long and storied history in the NHL. From its inception in 1979 to its retirement two decades later, it was one of the most recognizable logos ever seen on an NHL jersey. The original design featured a blue whale with white stripes along its back, as well as a green “H” for Hartford inside of it. This iconic logo was worn by some of hockey’s greatest players including Gordie Howe and Ron Francis during their time with the team from 1979-1997.

Over time, small changes were made to this classic look such as changing out certain colors or adding more detail to certain elements like making the “H” three-dimensional instead of flat against the background image which gave fans something new while still maintaining familiarity with what they already knew and loved about this beloved symbol. In addition to these minor tweaks over time there have also been several different versions released throughout various eras that feature slight variations on both color scheme and overall design such as when they added black accents or changed up how many stripes were present down each side of their mascot's body; all while still keeping true to what made them so special originally: simplicity combined with creativity that allowed anyone who saw it know exactly who you were cheering for even at first glance!

In conclusion, although some might not remember much else about them today beyond their famous alternate logo – which can be found everywhere from t-shirts & hats sold online all around the world - those old enough will never forget how important this unique piece of artwork became part (and remains) part hockey culture forevermore thanks largely due popularity gained during tenure National Hockey League between years 1979 1997 when proudly wore jerseys featuring same every single game!
