Fabric of the Game The Stories Behind the NHLs Names Logos and Uniforms

I love hockey and this is an interesting book that goes over the history of so many past and present NHL teams. Very detailed and some nice pictures also, a quality product. I would recommend this book to any hockey fans! Read more

Not even done with this book yet (up to Quebec) but this has been everything I could have wanted from the book. The detail into not only the logos & uniforms but the origin of the team's names as well, are explored in great detail. I consider myself quite a student of hockey history, but I am learning some new things here! My only wish is that there were more pictures or some sort of uniform database for each team, but the book is already rather large, I can imagine that was discussed, but then it would double in size. But there are several photos and mock-ups of past uniforms and looks throughout the years. This is the perfect book for anyone obsessed with the "look" of pro-hockey. Read more

This is a must-have for any and every fan of the NHL and/or sports aesthetics. The authors have combined their decades of knowledge and experience in the universe of sports logos and uniform design to come up with a major opus that takes the reader through over a century of history the NHL and each of its teams - past, present, and in the case of the Seattle Kraken, future. It is visually lush and a fascinating read. This will make a striking addition to any sports fan's coffee table. Read more

My son is a huge sports fan, he's followed Chris Creamer's website since its inception so he was excited to receive this book for Christmas. He read this book from front to back, it didn't disappoint. Read more

This is a really special book. It dives into the history and visual identities of every single NHL team to ever exist. There are so many fun nuggets that I had never heard before. (Did you know that the San Jose Sharks accounted for more than one third of all NHL merchandise sales?). I was an especially big fan of the Quebec Nordiques, Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs chapters. There are a few drawbacks. The writing and syntax gets repetitive at times. There are more than a few instances where a logo is described without a picture being included in the book. That being said, the photos that are featured are stunning. Highly Recommended for any sports fan! I'd love to see the authors tackle a similar history of other professional leagues. Read more

My brother was quite surprised and enjoyed receiving this book for Christmas. He’s a history buff, along with still playing the game well into middle-age, and was said he found it refreshing to have something that wasn’t stats or about players/rivalries/dynasties. He also has SEVERAL hockey sweaters that he can now bust out trivia on, especially when nobody asked. Read more
