The New York Rangers logo history started in 1927, together with the history of the club itself. The first owner of the club was George Lewis Rickard known as president of Madison Square Garden. The aim of his franchise was to successfully compete with New York Americans, an ice hockey team that started playing at the same arena a year earlier.
The designer made the Rangers logo very similar to the emblem of their rivals. Both the Rangers’ and the Americans’ logos had a shield shape and featured red, blue, and white (although the shades were slightly different). In both the logos, the word “New York” was placed over a horizontal blue stripe on top of the shield, while the second word of the team’s name (“Rangers” and “Americans” respectively) could be seen on a diagonal stripe. There was a difference, though, at the bottom part of the shield: the Americans had red stripes, while the Rangers had a red triangular at the top left corner and a white field at the bottom right corner. Also, the Americans’ emblem had white stars over the blue stripe on the top, while the stripe on the Rangers’ crest was solid blue.
The current logo is little changed from the original.
