Editing Carolina Hurricanes (section)

==Logos and uniforms==
The Hurricanes' primary logo has always been a stylized hurricane with a [[storm warning]] flag on a hockey stick as the secondary logo. A stylized black triangle sat behind the flag, referencing the Triangle region. After the team's first season in 1997, the team altered the color scheme to a slightly darker shade of red and kept the other colors.

The Carolina Hurricanes currently wear black uniforms at home and white uniforms on the road. While black is one of the team's core colors, until 2022, the Hurricanes kept its usage at a minimum, opting for red helmets and red pants while using black exclusively as a trim color along with silver. Nevertheless, the Hurricanes have worn black alternate uniforms for select games since 2007.

===Original uniforms===
The initial Hurricanes uniforms featured the primary logo in front with the secondary logo on the shoulders. One enduring feature of this uniform was the red and black storm warning flags that dot the tail along with silver, red, black and white stripes. In 2000, black trim was added on the player's name, and upon moving to [[Reebok]]'s Edge template in 2007, piping was added on the shoulder yoke.

In 2008, the Hurricanes unveiled their first black alternate uniform, featuring the flag logo in front and the primary logo (recolored to dark grey) on the shoulders. As with the primary uniforms, warning flag patterns dot the tail, albeit recolored to silver and black. "V" stripes of red and silver accent the sleeves and socks.

===New looks===
In 2013, the Hurricanes replaced their primary uniforms with a new set. The biggest changes for these uniforms included the omission of black and silver. On the red uniform, black was relegated exclusively to the neck piping, letter trim and logo, while on the white uniform, it was featured more prominently on the numbers and striping. Silver was almost completely removed from both the red and white uniforms except for the logo outline. In addition, a red nameplate with white letters and black trim was placed near the red shoulder yoke of the white uniforms. Both sets removed the flag logo and warning flag patterns while letters were updated to [[Univers|Univers Condensed]] font. The front logo also reduced in size compared to the prior set. Despite these changes, the Hurricanes continued to wear the prior black alternate uniform with this new set.

Upon moving to [[Adidas]]' AdiZero template in 2017, the Hurricanes made little changes to their white uniform. However, their new red uniform brought back a few elements from the original set, including black striping and the warning flag pattern (now recolored with a dark red shade) on the tail.

In 2018, the Hurricanes unveiled a new black alternate uniform, featuring an updated flag logo corrected to a hurricane warning flag. This flag logo also became the new additional logo. On the dark grey shoulder yoke, the primary logo was placed on the right while the [[Flag of North Carolina]] was added to the left. Both logos were recolored in black and grey. The logo also features the state of North Carolina in the negative space between the flags. This alternate has since become the Hurricanes' primary home uniform during the playoffs.

In 2019, a new white uniform was released, replacing the one worn since 2013. This new uniform featured the "CANES" nickname written diagonally in front with the flag logo returning on the shoulders. The warning flag patterns and red letters with black trim also returned from the original set. The new uniform came at the behest of owner Tom Dundon, who was not a fan of the previous white uniform.

The Hurricanes have not worn variants of their uniforms often. On April 5, 2022, the Hurricanes wore their alternate black pants with the white road uniforms for the first time in a game against the Buffalo Sabres. Two nights later, also against the Sabres, the Hurricanes paired their alternate black helmets and pants with the primary red home uniform. On December 23, 2022, against the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], the Hurricanes began wearing red helmets with the white road uniforms; by 2023, the white road helmets were only worn sporadically, mainly in road games at the [[Calgary Flames]] and Detroit Red Wings who primarily wear red helmets at home.

In August 2022, the Hurricanes officially promoted their black uniform to their full time home uniform.<ref name="CanesBlackHomeUnis" /> They also brought back the original 1997–2007 red uniform as an alternate in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the franchise in Carolina, wearing it for one season before replacing it with the modern red uniform they last wore in the 2021–22 season.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/canes-introduce-red-vintage-inspired-uniform-for-2th-anniversary-season/c-335523076 | title=Canes Introduce Red Vintage-Inspired Uniform For 25th Anniversary Season | date=September 15, 2022 | publisher=Carolina Hurricanes}}</ref> Later that year, the Hurricanes unveiled their second "Reverse Retro" uniform, this time using a red version of the "CANES" diagonal wordmark uniform.<ref>{{cite news|title=NHL Reverse Retro jerseys for all 32 teams unveiled by adidas|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2022-adidas-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys-reveal/c-336511528|website=NHL.com|date=October 20, 2022|access-date=October 20, 2022}}</ref>

For the Hurricanes' appearances at the [[2023 NHL Stadium Series|2023 Stadium Series]], they wore black uniforms with red accents, but without any white elements. The uniform features the primary logo in front and enlarged numbers.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2023-nhl-stadium-series-jerseys-for-washington-carolina-revealed/c-340440474 | title=Stadium Series jerseys for Capitals, Hurricanes unveiled}}</ref>

===Whalers heritage uniform===
In 2018, the Hurricanes began wearing green "Heritage" uniforms from the team's Hartford years. In its first season, the throwbacks were used twice, both against the [[Boston Bruins]]; for the 2019–20 season, the Hurricanes wore them once at home against the [[Los Angeles Kings]], and in the 2021–22 season, they wore them once against the [[New Jersey Devils]]. In 2022–23, the Hurricanes wore the Whalers "Heritage" uniform against the Bruins. During home games with the Whalers uniforms, the [[Hartford Whalers#"Brass Bonanza" theme song|Brass Bonanza]] theme would be played after the horn.

For the 2020–21 season, the Hurricanes would wear a "Reverse Retro" uniform, using the template of the 1980s Whalers uniforms but with a grey base - grey being the only color used by both teams - as a nod to the 1992–1997 uniforms.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/canes-adidas-unveil-whalers-reverse-retro-jersey/c-319634650 |title=Canes, Adidas Unveil Whalers Reverse Retro Jersey |last=Smith |first=Michael |date=November 16, 2020 |publisher=National Hockey League |access-date=February 10, 2021 |archive-date=February 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209091742/https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/canes-adidas-unveil-whalers-reverse-retro-jersey/c-319634650 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In the 2023–24 season, the Hurricanes resurrected the white version of the Whalers uniform, wearing them against the Devils. They also wore [[Cooperalls]] during warmups as a tribute.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Detwiler |first=Christopher |date=November 14, 2023 |title=Hurricanes announce special white Whalers throwback jerseys |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/short-shifts/carolina-announces-white-whalers-jerseys |access-date=December 28, 2023 |work=NHL.com}}</ref>
