RIP Peter Good (who designed the Whalers logo)

[Brooklyn Bridge]

Peter Good, who designed the logo for the Hartford Whalers, has died.

He was paid $2,000 a d helped design the original uniforms.

It's probably the best logo not just in hockey, but in all of sports.

One of the best logos in American sports.

Quite a Good choice.

RIP, good sir, and Thank You. Now that some of the Peter Karmanos stench has worn off in Raleigh, the logo is back on the on-ice product ... usually against Boston given their matchups during the Whalers era.

I understand the UConn band plays it from time to time as well.

As do the minor league Yard Goats and I'm sure the Wolfpack as well.

I rank that and the Brewers logo as 1 and 1a.

It still boggles my mind that the Brewers ever went away from that and then dicked around for a quarter century before bringing it back.
