The classics

Professional hockey is 100 years old. Over those years some teams have lasted the entire time, like the Montreal Canadiens while others time was short lived like the Hartford Whalers. 

Let's take a look at logos on sweaters that are still in use that remind use that sometimes no change is a great thing. These jerseys have stood the test of time. 


Montreal 
In the early days (1910-13) Montreal's jerseys did undergo some tweaks and changes. But from 1913 to today, 102 days later the iconic "C" on the chest has been the symbol of hockey's winningest franchise. 














Boston



The Bruins are not nearly as old as the Montreal Canadiens, but in 1948 they settled upon the "B" that has stood for Boston hockey for decades. The colors have never deviated from yellow and black and Boston has had an image they can stand behind just as long.



Detroit





On the top is the Red Wings jersey from 1932 and the bottom is today's uniform. Not much has changed with the jersey design. Red, white and a winged wheel on the chest has been a staple of Detroit spots. The winged wheels pays homage to the city's strong auto manufacturing history.
