New Jersey Devils


 * This article is about the NHL team formerly known as the Colorado Rockies. For the MLB team, see Colorado Rockies.

1974–1976


The New Jersey Devils began life as the Kansas City Scouts, an expansion team that began play in the 1974–75 season. The team's logo was designed by Gary Sartain of Hallmark Cards, and depicts The Scout, a statue from which the team took its name.

1976–1982


In 1976, the Scouts relocated to Denver, Colorado, where they became the Colorado Rockies. Their logo was based on the Colorado state flag, and would be the inspiration for the Colorado Avalanche's third jersey introduced in 2015.

1982–1992


In 1982, the team relocated for the final time to New Jersey and changed their name to the New Jersey Devils, named after the legend of the Jersey Devil. The team's logo, based on a design by then-owner John McMullen's wife Jacqueline Everhart McMullen, is a monogram of the red letters "N" and "J", with devil horns and a tail on the "J". The logo initially had a green outline until the 1992–93 season.

1992–1999


In 1992, the logo's outline was changed to black because of difficulties in keeping the green color of the logo and the team's uniforms consistent.

1999–present


In 1999, the logo was redrawn with thicker lines and a slightly darker shade of red.
