A League and the massive upgrade we saw by the NWHL’s Boston Pride. Hockey makes up most of the list with five of the ten primary logos of the year coming from teams scattered throughout five different levels of the game including the new Edmundston (New Brunswick) Blizzard of the Maritime Jr. The NBA is the only league to see more than one team get nominated with the Minnesota Timberwolves grabbing the highest user rating overall this year.

Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA), RARE Design Let’s start with the nominees for the 2017 Creamer Awards Best Primary Logo of the Year: Not a single logo from the football or soccer world made the cut this year, hockey leads the way with 17, basketball gets 10, baseball 9, college 3, and yes, even a single nominee from the world of auto racing. For a logo to be eligible it had to have made its in-game debut during the 2017 calendar year (note: our new “anniversary logos” category has a slightly more confusing criteria which is explained in their section near the end of this post). This year there will be four categories to be voted on, the best primary team logo, the best league logo, the best alternate team logo, and the best anniversary logo. The winners will be revealed later this month, to be voted on by a panel of sports writers and media personalities who have graciously volunteered their time to be a part of this project. Today we’re announcing the finalists for the 2017 Creamer Awards, our 6th annual recognition of the year’s best new sports logos (check out our 2016 Creamer Awards winners post). As the year starts to wind down it’s time for us to take a look back and remember the best that happened in the world of sports logos over these past twelve months.
