National Hockey League Team Colors

The NHL blends Original Six tradition with expansion-era experimentation. Century-old clubs like the Canadiens, Bruins, and Maple Leafs carry palettes that have barely moved in generations, while newer franchises such as the Kraken, Golden Knights, and Ducks arrived with modern, tightly art-directed color systems built for the streaming era.

About National Hockey League Team Colors

The NHL blends Original Six tradition with expansion-era experimentation. Century-old clubs like the Canadiens, Bruins, and Maple Leafs carry palettes that have barely moved in generations, while newer franchises such as the Kraken, Golden Knights, and Ducks arrived with modern, tightly art-directed color systems built for the streaming era.

Hockey's 32 teams span the United States and Canada across two conferences and four divisions. Each club publishes brand guidelines defining its primary, secondary, and accent colors, applied to home and road sweaters and increasingly to reverse-retro alternates. The colors here are each team's current published brand colors in hex, RGB, and CMYK for accurate reproduction.

By division, the league's split personality shows: the Atlantic and Metropolitan lean on classic reds, blues, and blacks, while the Pacific carries the boldest expansion palettes — Vegas gold, Kraken deep sea blue, and Ducks orange.

Color Trends
