The Whalers’ new look

After a 24-year absence, the Hartford Whalers are back in the NHL! As one of the original six teams, the return of the Whalers is a huge moment for not only Hartford fans but for hockey fans around the world. The team has undergone a bit of a makeover since their last appearance in the league, and we’re here to give you a rundown of the changes.

First and foremost, the team’s name and logo have been updated to better reflect their Connecticut roots. The new logo, a whale tail encircling a blue H, is a nod to both the state’s rich maritime history and the team’s original mark. And while there was some debate about whether or not to keep the “Whalers” name, in the end, it was decided that it was too important to the team’s identity to let it go.

In terms of on-ice changes, perhaps the most significant is that the Whalers will now be playing in Hartford’s newly renovated Downtown Arena. The arena, which underwent an $85 million renovation prior to the Whalers’ return, features updated facilities and amenities that will provide a major boost to both player development and fan experience.

Speaking of fan experience, another big change for the Whalers is their partnership with ticketing platform Ticketmaster. Through this partnership, fans will now be able to easily purchase tickets online or through Ticketmaster’s mobile app. This is a huge convenience for fans, as it will eliminate many of the headaches associated with traditional ticket buying methods.

The final change we want to touch on is perhaps the most exciting: The Whalers’ new jerseys! Designed by adidas Hockey in collaboration with Hartford-based fashion brand J. Press, these jerseys are truly something special. With their clean lines and timeless color palette (navy blue white and green), they perfectly capture both the team’s tradition and its modern identity. We can’t wait to see them on ice!
