United States Olympic Hockey Pins
This a decent sampling of United States Olympic hockey team pins dating back to 1980, though there are several others not shown here. The USA Hockey logo is a consistent theme, especially in recent years. However, my favorites tend to be those designed specifically for a particular Olympic Games. For instance, the Nagano 1998 U.S. Olympic hockey team pin in the center of the fourth row of pins, above, with the flower design. If you look closely at the flower, its petals are pictograms of various Winter Olympic athletes--much more creative than the USA Hockey logo.
