My favourite logo and team is Frölunda and the name comes from the sixties When the club was named Västra Frölunda(West Frölunda) and they had things going well and they were called the Wild west team(Vilda västern laget) so they chose a logo and name for it to be more precise or something. They didnt Want anything related to violoncell such as cowboys or Guns because of the children so they chose the Indians. Frölunda is in Göteborg on the atlantic and western Coast of Sweden which has been called the way to america(vägen till Amerika) so that also cooperates with the name/logo
Brent Taylor No problem Brent, fun to be able to help out. Its interesting How the european and american/canadian logos differ, personally I Hold NHL logos higher because of How smart Some of them are and also the difference against the ones you see Daily in Sweden. My favourite hockey logos of all are: Frölunda, Colorado Avalanche, Philadelphia Flyers, Sweden mens team(Tre Kronor/Three Crowns) and lastly Timrå Eagles.
I am Swedish and actually learned Some from This video. The Örebro logo, the Two red and black weird things, is an Ö which is the first letter of the city/team.
I'm Swedish and Frölunda is my favourite team. I like our Logo (Prefer our older one but still). It actually has a "message" behind it so I'm gonna try to explain it here, it kinda has to be in two parts for it to make sense though. So the club was called "Västra Frölunda" (West Frölunda, which is a part of Gothenburg). The club later got the nickname Vilda västern-laget (The wild west team), around that time the sport had grown quite alot in Sweden and the club wanted to rebrand it got changed to Frölunda Indians. The reason it became Indians is because the club wanted to distance themselves from the "Wild-west" theme with cowboys and guns so they choose the Native American logo and named themselves "Indians". What I find really cool is that those values stay with the club to this day and Frölunda HC (The actual name of the club, the "HC" stands for "Hockeyclub) quite recently became the first sports club to become ambassador for the "Non-violence foundation"
Yeah, they're kind of the Oilers in Sweden aswell, except for the fans. Not that great for a couple of years but great talents from 12 years and up. Also Timothy Liljegren is from Rögle
He's not from 'Rögle' (which is not a town, it's located in Ängelholm) He is born and raised in Kristianstad which is in the same region, but far from close.
In Sweden there is something called landskap (landscape in english but it's not exact same thing). There are landscapes shields, animals and flowers, for example Karlskrona is located in Blekinge, Blekinges landscape animal is stag beetle. Växjö lies in Småland which has the landscape shield which Växjö lakers uses.
ACID RAZOR I have done research on Brynäs logo, found almost nothing on why it looks like it does. Gösta Wikström made the logo, i know it's a clover and a wreath and that it was originaly made for the football, athletics, swimming, water polo and bandy but i don't know the inspiration behind it
Thanks for your words about Malmö Redhawks logo! Proud to say that my dad designed it. He has always had a great eye for design combined with a feel for business.
One cool thing about Luleå Hockey is their "Björngapet" which is a bear head that comes down from the cealing when the players enters the ice. Its really cool and worth googling. :)
The "I.F" in the names stands for sport Association. Also the logos represent something associated with the teams or cities. The Växsjö one for example represents their country weapon.
I can see why alot of these logos are boring to you guys. It's mainly because the logos don't get changed that often. For example number 12, my beloved Brynäs, that logo was created in 1913, a year after Brynäs IF was"founded". Too bad they lost the finals this year in game 7 OT :(
What many don't know is that a third club, Norrahammars GIS, joined HV71 in 1972, so to be consistent they should have changed names again by then to HVN 72. :) Glad they didn't. :)
Frölunda have that logo because the city is located on the westcoast of sweden, and in the 70s and 80s the team displayed some great and tough hockey and they started to call the games there "The Wild West". There for they have an indian as a logo.
I think you have seen the Frölunda logo before since many Swedish NHL players played for the team. Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson, Daniel Alfredsson and many more. And Artturi Lehkonen in Montreal played there 2014-2016. If you wonder something more about Frölunda or SHL you can ask me. I'm a big Frölunda and SHL fan
I have been following for close to the beginning. I love all the chemistry all of you guys have. You can tell you are friends and that you all come across as real not acting.
Great channel btw! Your dad is awesome! He should be on more he has a great hockey sense. Lol i really like listening to you both talk about hockey/teams.
#6 logo: The stag beetle is the official animal of Blekinge County, where the city of Karlskrona is located. Karlskrona is a baroque, naval base city and on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Given the city's great naval history I think they could have gone in a different direction with its overall design when the club was created in 2001, but I won't complain too much. It's nice having a (for me) local team in the SHL. As a Ducks fan I also appreciate the switch to orange from their original red color scheme.
6:55 the "two things" is like two parts of the swedish letter "ö" that you can see is the first letter in the team name and the city name. The logo doesnt look so much like the letter "ö" but i think that is the point
There's a Djurgårds jingle called "Yellow, red, blue" -- in which they give meaning to the colors of their legend. It goes something like this: "Red for the blood, through heart and vein. Yellow for the sun's warming light. Blue for sky, rain, and ocean. Stockholm's pride, our team (our team is the pride of Stockholm.)"
Sports works so much different in Europe than in North America. In Sweden all leagues are part of the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation. The federation organises the leauges from the the highest down to the lowest (which is basically rec league level). SHL (the highest league) is professional and the Allsvenskan (the second highest) is mostly professional. The way it works in all the leagues is that the highest finishing teams play promotion games while the lower ranked teams play relegation games (vs the top teams of the league below). It is thus theoretically possible for a team to advance from the lowest level all they up to the top. In North America if a market isn't working the team gets relocated, here it would just result in the team falling down into the lower leagues. And you can't buy your way into the top league, sure you can start a new team, but then you start in the lowest division Another difference is ownership, in Sweden basically all teams started as a local sports club. The clubs are/where financed via membership. So basically you could by a membership in a club and then you had a share in the team and could go and vote on things in the yearly member meeting. During the late-80s, early 90s when hockey started to be fully professional in the top league, this model was not working any more. There for private owners where allowed in, but still the Swedish Federation only also a private owner to own 49% of a team. 51% of the club must be owned by it's members
I can definitely see a pattern here. People who follow the NHL seem to favour teams with logos similar to their usual teams. For example does Malmö "Redhawks" have some english in their name but also an animal. Same with LHC with the "HC" standing for "Hockey Club" and then the white lion. Frölunda with "indians" and also a Native American that is similar to the Chicago Blackhawks. In the NHL almost every team has a name like this and also some kind of mascot, which of course is nothing negative. Keep up with the awesome content!
As a Djurgården fan i got a tiny bit triggered when they were second to last.. But it was still a great video! Keep it up! And btw, Timrå is not in the SHL, something must have went wrong in the research, because there is only 14 teams in the league.
6:37 The logo is a stylized version of the letter Ö. Some people's handwritten Ö have a line above it (Like: Ō) instead of two dots. This seems to be a mix of the two methods.
Regarding Huskvarna, yes the comppany is from the same village, Huskvarna. Huskvarna is now a part of the town Jönköping (but used to be an own village). Happy to see "my" team Frölunda ranked so high in a "neutral show" without connections to any of the teams (to me it is of course the number 1 logo though). Frölunda won CHL (Chapion hockey Leaugue, a "cup" with teams from all over Europe) the last two seasons (2015/2016 and 2016/2017) and SHL the season 2015/2016. However you might have seen the logo for another reason (if it got mentioned "over there") During the "NHL-lockout season" several players were in erurope to play. Some of them in Frölunda who won that season (2004/2005). They won the final over Färjestad were Sheldon Souray played and with his heritage (Metis?) he liked the Frölunda shirt so much that he go one as a gift afterwards which he, what I've heard, appreciated a lot. So he might have shown it sometime.
I dont know if anyone pointed this out before me, but Karlskrona has its stag beetle is because of: Karlskrona is located in the region of "Blekinge" in south-east part of Sweden. Blekinge-region have a stag beetle as its "Region-animal". Dont ask me why they have a stag beetle, but all the regions in sweden have a specific animal as their "Region-animal".. for example "Västernorrland" (Home of teams MoDo and Timrå IK) where I live, we have a beaver... So im guessing thats why they have the stag beetle.
For anybody else watching this three years later and who is still wondering, the Frölunda indianerna are actually Frölunda Hockey Club and the Indianerna is a nickname given to them due to their successes in 1960 that for some weird reason was called the wild west, instead of being cowboys or having weapons they became the Indianer.
Thanks for the comment! I'm actually not uploading content on this channel anymore, but I would love it if you could subscribe to my new channel Post2Post Productions where I am making more Hockey content! ruclips.net/user/post2postproductions
I'm sure it has been explained already, but the original name of the Frölunda Indians was Västra Frölunda HC (Western Frölunda. A borough of Gothenburg, which is also on the west coast of Sweden). During the 1960s their nickname was "Vilda västern" (The wild west), when they were most successful. So they took this into consideration for the season 1995/1996. They wanted to have something related to this nickname, but did not want to have a cowboy or guns or something like that. So they opted for the name "Frölunda Indians HC" for that "wild west" association, and the logo has been a native american ever since.
The Stag beetle is the county animal of Blekinge County where Karlskrona is located. The two images in Örebros logo is a graphic representation of the first letter Ö. You might recognize the Frölunda logo because Henrik Lundqvist in NY rangers came from that team. Nice to see my home team in the top :) When they play badly we call them "Deadhawks" :) Timrå is not in the top league now, so we only have 14 teams in the top League in sweden. Great Vid!
awesome video! love videos with your dad. also, you saw that Frolunda Indians logo before i think because i know Arturri Lehkonen played there before the nhl
the lion in Växjö lakers logo is the symbol of Småland, the landscape in which växjö is located, Landscape is like the different states of the United States so that's why it keeps the crossbow so weird
Not sure if anyone has pointed it out, but Frölunda has the indian because back in the day it was said they played "wild west hockey" because anything could happen. So that is why the indian was adoptera in the 90s.And I think you may have heard of Daniel Alfredsson and Henrik Lundqvist platina in the NHL; they came from Frölunda Indians.
3 years late but I just gotta say that it was really fun to watch you guys go through the SHL arenas and the logos :) Fun thing when I'm a Redhawks fan, and you picked the Redhawks logo at #1 and Rögle as the last one. Malmö and Rögle are rivals and hate each others ;)

Btw You can like other teams and players but the reasons Justin (or Jason?) listed as to why he hates the Blackhawks is why I think many people hate the Penguins and lots of their fans are very annoying on social media. Go caps #rockthered #ovechkin is not a ba dleader
As a caps fan I will admit Crosby is better than Ovi but I do not think he is a bad leader. For example in the Pens series last year after game two he organized a players only meeting and I think that is a sign of a good leader. He also didn't complain when Trotz moved him down to the third line and Burakovsky to the first. We would've won that series if Trotz's fat ass didn't move them back after we won game 6 5-2. You can also point out that Ovi has never had good playoff coaches (Boudreau choked with WAS, ANA, now MIN, Dale Hunter, Adam Oates, and now Trotz (who also hasn't passed the 2nd round)
Karlskrona with the Stag Beetle is a symbol of the provins Blekinge. Karlskrona is the biggest city in Blekinge, thats why that insect its the symbol on the badge. They are unique.
And as some have pointed out, number four is here in error, they were relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan quite some years ago. Their classical logo is, by the way, two pine trees.
Let me answer some of your questions that you had in this video. The Örebro logo resembles an Ö but instead of the dots there is a line and you can actually write an Ö like that as well. Sweden is split up in different parts that we call landskap (landscapes) that you can in someway compare to the states in America. The stag beetle on the Karlskrona logo is the landscape animal of Blekinge (The landscape where Karlskrona is located in). The lion with the shakeweight crossbow is the foreign logo on the shield that resembles the protector of that landscape (Kronobergs län in Småland) where Växjö is located in. I really enjoy watching your videos, especially when you rank the swedish teams in different ways! I'm a Malmö fan so i cant agree with you more about the rankings of the logos that you made! Keep up the good work!
Bandy is still a big sport where Sweden, Russia and Finland are the leading participents of the Bandy World Championship. It's a really fun sport to watch! I'm from Örebro and I have no idea what the logo stands for, I guess it's somekind of a ilustration of the letter Ö....but I have no idea, it's just a guess! The company Husqvarna is from the city Huskvarna, so you're right it the place! ;)
Just wanna inform you.a little about Luleå logo. Luleå is the northernmost team in SHL and have a great nature with bears and other wild life (Swedens' Canada). The "flames" are actually mean to symbolice the northern lights and you can also see the snowflakes. The hearttounge is meant to show the passion for hockey that we have here in the north! And if I remember correctly, the yellow thing behind the bear is the midnight sun we have in the summer!
HV71 supporter here and thanks for a good show. just wanted to come with an input on the Växjö Lakers logo. The Lion with the crossbow is the province shield weapon of Småland, were also HV71 is from (just different counties). A friendly older/younger brother rivalry between the teams. HV71 is located in the North of Småland and is the team of Jönköping (and Huskvarna, the two towns grew together) and yes the company Husqvarna that makes the tractors and lawnmowers and that is located there.
Hard to believe, but Elias Pettersson who was their MVP and drafted no. 5 overall by the Canucks says his 2018 SHL championship team, Vaxjo is actually pronounced "vek' wa".
Okay! I am from Örebro and the logo actually is an ö that symbolizes the first letter of the team and the picture of the arena is pretty old so if you goggle behrn arena it’s not looking that way anymore
There is a town in sweden called Huskvarna where HV71 comes from. And then there is a factory called Husqvarna and they are producing lawnmowers and chainsaws and more. Husqvarna is HV71 biggest sponsor
reason why lions is used so much in swedish culture is cause it is to be an idol of courage also used on many county seals also dragons is also one of the seals used alot
The stag beetle in the logo is there cause of what province/county the city is in :) Our ”national” animal in the province is stag beetle. Another hockey team in the same province but the neighbour town has a oak leaf as symbol, and the oak is the ”national” ”flower” of the province. In blekinge we have a lot of oaks actually :) and stag beetles. The provinve is actually one of the places in sweden where the stagg beetle is most common. So the logo has a lot of meaning to from where the team is from :)

JVH114 Allsvenskan is the 2nd league in Sweden and i am pretty sure that Allsvenskan is still a league since my favourite team plays in the "Allsvenskan"
I am a big Djurgården fan which also is the most succesful club in sweden with 16 gold medals, in the logo blue and yellow is for sweden and red is for Love! U should take a look at a Djurgården fans video, best fans in the world!
im from sweden and that relegation system is pretty old now just so you now and that team Timrå is not an shl team its a team from allsvenskan The swedish second league(can you pls do rank allsvenskan logos also my favorit team Modo Hockey is in that league players like Peter Forsberg , Victor Hedman and The sedin brothers Come from there:)
When seeing my first SHL game i saw Timrå IK against Mora IK. and could not believe the Mora logo so i tought in the beginning its was a major sponsor or so
Frölunda became the Indians in the 70s when they had a very rough style. It was dubbed ‘Wild West tactics’ on TV. They voted against cowboys and would never use a pistol or any kind of firearm so they went with Indians. The club consulted with a group of Native Americans when they rebranded in the 90’s to make sure that it wasn’t offensive or poor taste They actually got reported to the Discrimination Ombudsman in 2015 for insensitivity but it fell through because of cultural impact and it’s historical context. If they were called the Red Skins, things would’ve changed
You talked about Frölunda. It is a sucessfull team and I can guess that you heard about it because Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson, Loui Eriksson, John Klingberg have all played in Frölunda. They are just a couple of players from Frölunda
The "IF" in Djurgårdens IF stands for "Idrottsförening" which means "sports club".
And the "brown" is gold. On the jerseys it looks better.
Yeah, if it would be only a hockey team it would be Djurgårdens HF, where HF means Hockeyförening. Which in english translates to Hockey club
Actually the IF does stand for ishockeyförening when it comes to the hockey team.
Nej det gör det inte, Djurgårdens if är alltid Djurgårdens Idrottsförening oavsett sport.
it really doesnt, dif is shit.
Dead25m somna om tack.
My favourite logo and team is Frölunda and the name comes from the sixties When the club was named Västra Frölunda(West Frölunda) and they had things going well and they were called the Wild west team(Vilda västern laget) so they chose a logo and name for it to be more precise or something. They didnt Want anything related to violoncell such as cowboys or Guns because of the children so they chose the Indians. Frölunda is in Göteborg on the atlantic and western Coast of Sweden which has been called the way to america(vägen till Amerika) so that also cooperates with the name/logo
+ Max Bucht excellent details, Max! Thanks for that cool information.

Ahaaaaa! Nu vet jag!

Best hockey Channel period
This is hands down the best hockey channel
Lucus Wood hands down.. hehe, where's Justin
Ya where is Justin?
If you like to bored to death. No character with these blokes.
RevaN nah theyre great. Go away and watch your stupid darts.
I'm Swedish and Frölunda is my favourite team.

anyone notice how familiar that Rögle logo looks?
Cybershade Oilers4life huh, it does look familiar. It's like I'm looking at a similar one now.
I'm sure the Oilers collect rogleties.
Yeah, they're kind of the Oilers in Sweden aswell, except for the fans. Not that great for a couple of years but great talents from 12 years and up. Also Timothy Liljegren is from Rögle
He's not from 'Rögle' (which is not a town, it's located in Ängelholm) He is born and raised in Kristianstad which is in the same region, but far from close.
Snilsson i know that i meant that he is from the club Rögle

Best compared to states.
Jacob Carlsson I think county's is a better comparison, but splitting hairs :)
ACID RAZOR I have done research on Brynäs logo, found almost nothing on why it looks like it does. Gösta Wikström made the logo, i know it's a clover and a wreath and that it was originaly made for the football, athletics, swimming, water polo and bandy but i don't know the inspiration behind it
The word you're looking for is province.
Of course u liked LINKÖPING... red, white and blue Canadiens color scheme.
I have a newfound appreciation for NHL logos now, along with so much Swedish hockey trivia I can annoy people with :)
Thanks for your words about Malmö Redhawks logo! Proud to say that my dad designed it. He has always had a great eye for design combined with a feel for business.
Wow that's amazing!
The first logo video where we didn't here " I don't like the font " LOL
Andrew Hunter I'll subscribe to you because I like arvidsson too.
One cool thing about Luleå Hockey is their "Björngapet" which is a bear head that comes down from the cealing when the players enters the ice. Its really cool and worth googling. :)
You and Justin should each make your own team and design the jersey, logo, and team name, then compare them.
Good idea!
DO IT
The "I.F" in the names stands for sport Association. Also the logos represent something associated with the teams or cities. The Växsjö one for example represents their country weapon.
Ted Larsson I hope to god you mean landscape not country
I can see why alot of these logos are boring to you guys. It's mainly because the logos don't get changed that often. For example number 12, my beloved Brynäs, that logo was created in 1913, a year after Brynäs IF was"founded". Too bad they lost the finals this year in game 7 OT :(
The red things is a represent an Ö in Örebro Hk
I love how you add you dad and other different friends to your channel to talk about hockey.
What many don't know is that a third club, Norrahammars GIS, joined HV71 in 1972, so to be consistent they should have changed names again by then to HVN 72. :) Glad they didn't. :)

William Olsson Frölunda forever
NICE I"m big fann of frölunda

Great channel btw! Your dad is awesome! He should be on more he has a great hockey sense. Lol i really like listening to you both talk about hockey/teams.
He will be in more from now on since I am moving back to the same town he lives in for the summer!
Sounds great! Hope to see you all in the future! Im a big fan from now on!
The thing on "Örebro Hockey" the one with a what Neil called a unique shape is supposed to look like the Swedish letter "Ö" for Örebro
#6 logo: The stag beetle is the official animal of Blekinge County, where the city of Karlskrona is located. Karlskrona is a baroque, naval base city and on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Given the city's great naval history I think they could have gone in a different direction with its overall design when the club was created in 2001, but I won't complain too much.

Sick vid and thanks for rating my Luleå Hockey at number 2! Though, Timrå IK left the league for a couple of years ago, but once again, great vid!
5 seconds that's a record! Gotta give some love for that! Lol
Love Linkoping logo!
6:55 the "two things" is like two parts of the swedish letter "ö" that you can see is the first letter in the team name and the city name. The logo doesnt look so much like the letter "ö" but i think that is the point

There's a Djurgårds jingle called "Yellow, red, blue" -- in which they give meaning to the colors of their legend. It goes something like this: "Red for the blood, through heart and vein. Yellow for the sun's warming light. Blue for sky, rain, and ocean. Stockholm's pride, our team (our team is the pride of Stockholm.)"
Did you guys know that Anze Kopitar has played for the Mora? That red,green and yellow team with a guy killing some animal
TageDen Store his brother Gasper played there from 2012-2014 too
Do not for get that hossa and the abott brothers also played for them
also bobby ryan, shawn horcoff and dan cleary
Its Saint Mikael killing a dragon.

yeah, we're not in the SHL but thanks for showing off our old logo :D
BENGAN äcklig* lär dig stava innan du hatar pojke lilla

the stag beetle is the administration animal in that landscape where the Karlskrona HK plays
6:37 The logo is a stylized version of the letter Ö.
Some people's handwritten Ö have a line above it (Like: Ō) instead of two dots. This seems to be a mix of the two methods.

Happy to see "my" team Frölunda ranked so high in a "neutral show" without connections to any of the teams (to me it is of course the number 1 logo though).

During the "NHL-lockout season" several players were in erurope to play. Some of them in Frölunda who won that season (2004/2005). They won the final over Färjestad were Sheldon Souray played and with his heritage (Metis?) he liked the Frölunda shirt so much that he go one as a gift afterwards which he, what I've heard, appreciated a lot. So he might have shown it sometime.
I dont know if anyone pointed this out before me, but Karlskrona has its stag beetle is because of:
Karlskrona is located in the region of "Blekinge" in south-east part of Sweden.
Blekinge-region have a stag beetle as its "Region-animal". Dont ask me why they have a stag beetle, but all the regions in sweden have a specific animal as their "Region-animal".. for example "Västernorrland" (Home of teams MoDo and Timrå IK) where I live, we have a beaver...
So im guessing thats why they have the stag beetle.
Late Father's Day special 😃
For anybody else watching this three years later and who is still wondering, the Frölunda indianerna are actually Frölunda Hockey Club and the Indianerna is a nickname given to them due to their successes in 1960 that for some weird reason was called the wild west, instead of being cowboys or having weapons they became the Indianer.

I'm sure it has been explained already, but the original name of the Frölunda Indians was Västra Frölunda HC (Western Frölunda. A borough of Gothenburg, which is also on the west coast of Sweden). During the 1960s their nickname was "Vilda västern" (The wild west), when they were most successful. So they took this into consideration for the season 1995/1996. They wanted to have something related to this nickname, but did not want to have a cowboy or guns or something like that. So they opted for the name "Frölunda Indians HC" for that "wild west" association, and the logo has been a native american ever since.
The Stag beetle is the county animal of Blekinge County where Karlskrona is located.
The two images in Örebros logo is a graphic representation of the first letter Ö.
You might recognize the Frölunda logo because Henrik Lundqvist in NY rangers came from that team.
Nice to see my home team in the top :) When they play badly we call them "Deadhawks" :)
Timrå is not in the top league now, so we only have 14 teams in the top League in sweden.
Great Vid!
9:11 Yes it is. I'm pretty sure the brand as roots around HV71's hometown, Jönköping.
awesome video! love videos with your dad. also, you saw that Frolunda Indians logo before i think because i know Arturri Lehkonen played there before the nhl
Also, Henrik Lundqvist, Loui Eriksson, Erik Karlsson, Daniel Alfredsson and the list goes on
HabsFan0067 its artturi lehkonen
The first logo looked like the oilers logo
..just that the Rögle logo came 50 years before Oilers logo. So Oilers looks like Rögles.
Pucko, Rögle hade en annan logga innan. Den nya är inspirerad av oilers.
are you gonna do the Swedish 2nd league "Hockey Allsvenskan"?
Probably
Post2Post then you need to rank Timrå again
MoDo HOCKEY är dom bästa! William äre du?
hehehehhehe
the lion in Växjö lakers logo is the symbol of Småland, the landscape in which växjö is located, Landscape is like the different states of the United States so that's why it keeps the crossbow so weird
Not sure if anyone has pointed it out, but Frölunda has the indian because back in the day it was said they played "wild west hockey" because anything could happen. So that is why the indian was adoptera in the 90s.And I think you may have heard of Daniel Alfredsson and Henrik Lundqvist platina in the NHL; they came from Frölunda Indians.
3 years late but I just gotta say that it was really fun to watch you guys go through the SHL arenas and the logos :)
Fun thing when I'm a Redhawks fan, and you picked the Redhawks logo at #1 and Rögle as the last one.
Malmö and Rögle are rivals and hate each others ;)

Keep posting and your channel will become one of the biggest hockey channels lots of good vids
I'd recommend some Q&A's if you want to make it better tho
Btw You can like other teams and players but the reasons Justin (or Jason?) listed as to why he hates the Blackhawks is why I think many people hate the Penguins and lots of their fans are very annoying on social media. Go caps #rockthered #ovechkin is not a ba dleader
As a caps fan I will admit Crosby is better than Ovi but I do not think he is a bad leader. For example in the Pens series last year after game two he organized a players only meeting and I think that is a sign of a good leader. He also didn't complain when Trotz moved him down to the third line and Burakovsky to the first. We would've won that series if Trotz's fat ass didn't move them back after we won game 6 5-2. You can also point out that Ovi has never had good playoff coaches (Boudreau choked with WAS, ANA, now MIN, Dale Hunter, Adam Oates, and now Trotz (who also hasn't passed the 2nd round)
Karlskrona with the Stag Beetle is a symbol of the provins Blekinge. Karlskrona is the biggest city in Blekinge, thats why that insect its the symbol on the badge. They are unique.
And as some have pointed out, number four is here in error, they were relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan quite some years ago. Their classical logo is, by the way, two pine trees.
The first ones is the kind of logo's that could resemble a brewery logo, Specially Brynås and Rögle maybe Färjestad as well.
Let me answer some of your questions that you had in this video.
The Örebro logo resembles an Ö but instead of the dots there is a line and you can actually write an Ö like that as well.
Sweden is split up in different parts that we call landskap (landscapes) that you can in someway compare to the states in America. The stag beetle on the Karlskrona logo is the landscape animal of Blekinge (The landscape where Karlskrona is located in).
The lion with the shakeweight crossbow is the foreign logo on the shield that resembles the protector of that landscape (Kronobergs län in Småland) where Växjö is located in.
I really enjoy watching your videos, especially when you rank the swedish teams in different ways! I'm a Malmö fan so i cant agree with you more about the rankings of the logos that you made!
Keep up the good work!
Bandy is still a big sport where Sweden, Russia and Finland are the leading participents of the Bandy World Championship. It's a really fun sport to watch! I'm from Örebro and I have no idea what the logo stands for, I guess it's somekind of a ilustration of the letter Ö....but I have no idea, it's just a guess!
The company Husqvarna is from the city Huskvarna, so you're right it the place! ;)
Just wanna inform you.a little about Luleå logo. Luleå is the northernmost team in SHL and have a great nature with bears and other wild life (Swedens' Canada). The "flames" are actually mean to symbolice the northern lights and you can also see the snowflakes. The hearttounge is meant to show the passion for hockey that we have here in the north! And if I remember correctly, the yellow thing behind the bear is the midnight sun we have in the summer!
should DO Liga Nacional de Hockey Hielo
HV71 supporter here and thanks for a good show.
just wanted to come with an input on the Växjö Lakers logo. The Lion with the crossbow is the province shield weapon of Småland, were also HV71 is from (just different counties). A friendly older/younger brother rivalry between the teams.
HV71 is located in the North of Småland and is the team of Jönköping (and Huskvarna, the two towns grew together) and yes the company Husqvarna that makes the tractors and lawnmowers and that is located there.
the sunface on Skelefteås logo is Skellefteå kommuns emblem and kommun is like a small state but they dont make their own laws and so on and so forth
Frolunda Idians are one of most succesful european hockey clubs in the last years. They won the CHL (Champions Hockey Leeague) two times.
ohyeah, my beloved Malmö redhawks at the top ! Btw great vid, made me laugh a couple of times :)
HV71 are my favorite
the things in örebro´s logo was the letter Ö for örebro... it took me time to realize that haha
Hard to believe, but Elias Pettersson who was their MVP and drafted no. 5 overall by the Canucks says his 2018 SHL championship team, Vaxjo is actually pronounced "vek' wa".
The color for Djurgården logo is that the yellow and blue is taken from the Swedish flag and the red is for love.
Okay! I am from Örebro and the logo actually is an ö that symbolizes the first letter of the team and the picture of the arena is pretty old so if you goggle behrn arena it’s not looking that way anymore
9:15 yes it is the same town
Yes, my S.L.Benfica (football, Portugal) has football, Handball, Basketball, Hockey (latin hóquei), Volleyball etc...more them 30 sport modalities
My favorite is the Växjö Lakers logo. It's clean and looks nice overall.
There is a town in sweden called Huskvarna where HV71 comes from. And then there is a factory called Husqvarna and they are producing lawnmowers and chainsaws and more. Husqvarna is HV71 biggest sponsor
Love these videos!!
Well I know this video is from 2017 but Örebros logo is just the letter "Ö" but in a different form:)
reason why lions is used so much in swedish culture is cause it is to be an idol of courage also used on many county seals also dragons is also one of the seals used alot
I’m swedish
The stag beetle in the logo is there cause of what province/county the city is in :)
Our ”national” animal in the province is stag beetle.
Another hockey team in the same province but the neighbour town has a oak leaf as symbol, and the oak is the ”national” ”flower” of the province.
In blekinge we have a lot of oaks actually :) and stag beetles. The provinve is actually one of the places in sweden where the stagg beetle is most common.
So the logo has a lot of meaning to from where the team is from :)

Hello Guys! Im from Skelleftea And i play hockey. That sun face you saw on the A.I.K logo Its the town logo.
check the swedish league called hockey allsvenskan
JVH114 Allsvenskan is the 2nd league in Sweden and i am pretty sure that Allsvenskan is still a league since my favourite team plays in the "Allsvenskan"
JVH114 allsvenskan is the 2nd league in sweden behind the shl, and does still exist
JVH114 You're probably thinking about Elitserien, but it changed it's name to SHL.
@Mulkström67 It's called Hockeyallsvenskan, so yes it exists..
IF in Brynäs IF and Djurgåtdens IF stands for idrottsförening which means sports federation
I am a big Djurgården fan which also is the most succesful club in sweden with 16 gold medals, in the logo blue and yellow is for sweden and red is for Love! U should take a look at a Djurgården fans video, best fans in the world!
just fyi the brownish color on difs logo is actually golden and it looks much better on other photos and thier kits irl
Hey the Bandy boll is made of simple plastic and inside the ball it´s 80 % sand to make it harder
im from sweden and that relegation system is pretty old now just so you now and that team Timrå is not an shl team its a team from allsvenskan The swedish second league(can you pls do rank allsvenskan logos also my favorit team Modo Hockey is in that league players like Peter Forsberg , Victor Hedman and The sedin brothers Come from there:)
Timrå is not in SHL. Good video. I from Sweden and Färjestad is my team
Karlskrona i
lies in Blekinge and Blekinges animal is the stag beetle.
sorry for my bad english
When seeing my first SHL game i saw Timrå IK against Mora IK. and could not believe the Mora logo so i tought in the beginning its was a major sponsor or so
I''m from Sweden and I most say that this league is lovely
Frölunda became the Indians in the 70s when they had a very rough style. It was dubbed ‘Wild West tactics’ on TV. They voted against cowboys and would never use a pistol or any kind of firearm so they went with Indians. The club consulted with a group of Native Americans when they rebranded in the 90’s to make sure that it wasn’t offensive or poor taste
They actually got reported to the Discrimination Ombudsman in 2015 for insensitivity but it fell through because of cultural impact and it’s historical context. If they were called the Red Skins, things would’ve changed
In sweden we have state shields, animals and flowers. Alot of the shields and like the bug is connected to the areas they in. Thanks for a great vid.
What's with shields in logos? The kings logo was ruined when they added the shield with the LA and shield part.
For the Örebro HK logo it is standing for an Ö i dont know how you dont see that
the redhawks logo is the logo I use in hut
Timrå Red Eagles haven't played in SHL for like 10 years soon and haven't even promoted to SHL from Allsvenskan yet. So, wron facts in this video ;)
As a Malmö-fan I like this video :)
Örebro logo, its shaped like an Ö, just the style that keeping the 2 dots together.
You talked about Frölunda. It is a sucessfull team and I can guess that you heard about it because Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson, Loui Eriksson, John Klingberg have all played in Frölunda. They are just a couple of players from Frölunda
The "SunFace" from Skellefteå AIK is the Skellefteå Kommuns (Skellefteå Muncipality) Logo
