NHL colors

Returns a named character vector of hex colors for an NHL team. Teams cover the 2026-27 NHL season, plus the Arizona Coyotes. Call colorr.teams("nhl") for the full list of team names.

Usage

nhl.colors(
  set = c("avalanche", "blackhawks", "blue_jackets", "blues", "bruins", "canadiens",
    "canucks", "capitals", "coyotes", "devils", "ducks", "flames", "flyers",
    "golden_knights", "hurricanes", "islanders", "jets", "kings", "kraken", "lightning",
    "maple_leafs", "oilers", "panthers", "penguins", "predators", "rangers", "red_wings",
    "sabres", "senators", "sharks", "stars", "utah", "wild"),
  legacy = FALSE
)

Arguments

set

Character string naming an NHL team.

legacy

Logical. If TRUE, return the palette that shipped with colorr 1.0.1 instead of the current one, so older figures stay reproducible. Not every team has a legacy palette; teams added since 1.0.1 will throw an error.

Value

Named character vector of hex color strings.

See also

colorr.teams to list teams, scale_fill_nhl for the ggplot2 scales.
