O Logo

The **O Logo** refers a series of very similar logos first introduced for the 2007-08 NHL season. The O logos are meant to be a nod to the original Ottawa Senators from the early 20th century. The O is a reference to Ottawa.

### Version 1

The original O logo was introduced for the 2007-08 season as part of the NHL's jersey manufacturing deal with Reebok. This logo features a a black letter 'O' outlined in white and red, inside a rectangle that is half red on the top, and half black on the bottom. This logo was worn on the shoulders of the Senators home and away jerseys until the rebrand prior to the 2020-21 season.

### Version 2

The second version of the O logo was introduced for the 2011-12 NHL season. It was worn on the front of the Senators fourth ever third jersey, also known as their heritage jersey. The O is the exact same as in the logo worn on their shoulders, however this time around their was no rectangle. Instead, a stripe of red behind the top half of the O and a stripe of beige behind the bottom half of the O ran across the entire jersey. The Senators used this design for their third jersey until the 2017-18 season, when it was replaced by the NHL 100 Classic jersey (fourth version of the O jersey). Because of the jersey's obvious salute to the Sens of yesteryear, the team would usually wear their new third jersey on Thursday home games, in reference to the popular social media hashtag #ThrowbackThursday, or #TBT.

### Version 3

The third version of the O logo (also known as the Heritage Classic jersey) was introduced in the 2013-14 season for the NHL Heritage Classic in Vancouver. The logo is the same as the Senators O jersey, however because the Sens were the away team, the base colour of the jersey is beige instead of black, and the beige stripe behind the O is replaced with a black stripe. This jersey was worn twice. Once for the Heritage Classic game (which the Senators won 4-2) then again for a game against Montreal later in the season which the Sens lost.

### Version 4

The fourth version of the O logo (also known as the NHL 100 Classic logo/jersey) was introduced for the NHL 100 Classic game against the Montreal Canadiens on December 16th, 2017 (which the Senators won 3-0). This was an event to commemorate the first ever NHL game, which was played 100 years ago between the original Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens.This time around the O logo is slightly fatter, and silver (outlined in black) instead of black. There are three stripes behind the O: a black stripe on the top half, a white stripe on the bottom half, and a thin silver stripe in the very middle. The base colour of the jersey is red. The Senators' NHL 100 Classic jersey would soon replace the original O jersey as the Ottawa Senators new third jersey for the following two season, until being scrapped for the 2020 rebrand.
