There's not enough variety with collars on hockey jerseys. Try one with a turtleneck. Or a polo-neck with buttons. There's variety with collars on soccer jerseys - why not bring that on the ice? How about the Washington Capitals create a new alternate with a polo neck, a new jersey that gives a nod to their DC United MLS franchise. Or if not the Caps, how about some other city with low attendance that has a wide enough soccer fanbase because why not? Maybe it's a bad idea, considering they only used those collars once. But the potential creative concepts could be fun to see, if done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The Avs have 2 Borques (Rene and Gabriel), but I'm pretty sure that neither have their first initial on their nameplate. Is it a rule that first initial be specified if last names are the same? Also weird: R Bourque wore 24 and an "A" in the preseason, but didn't keep either! Now he's 17.

I can't really explain why he changed his number, maybe he wanted too, I don't know... But I know that in a lot of preseason games most of the young guys and prospects will play. There'll be captains and alternate captains chosen as well. Those aren't really permanent for the season, as the line-up regulars will get the normal letters, but they get chosen just to have captains in the preseason. I know that in the first preseason game for the Wild, they chose Scandella, Stewart, and Carter as the A's. These guys were likely to make it through camp, have played in the NHL before, and were the leaders in the locker room which was full of mostly young players. This was probably the same for Rene...

hockey week Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I finally saw one of these Penguins 50th anniversary t-shirts in person, and I immediately noticed that the number font was wrong. They're using the 1968-72 font on the back and the 1967-68 logo on the front. Yet again the Penguins continue to ignore that this set of jerseys ever existed. But they used it on the Winter Classic jersey/third jersey I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witness Aaron and Richard Rodgers: The NHL does not have an initial rule. I remember a story several years ago about the Ducks and their decision to not use initials when the Niedermayers played there. Remember the one season the NFL not only had an initial rule, but decreed that if two players on a team had the same last name and same first initial, they had to wear their full first and last names on their backs? Yeah, that went well.

The_Admiral Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Yeah, Tank Johnson's jersey actually said "Tank Johnson" on the back! He was a #69 away from wearing a douchebag fan jersey in an NFL game. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rene Bourque only joined the Avalanche on a tryout this season, so either he just took whatever number they gave him or somebody else was wearing 17 during the pre-season. After making the team, he made the switch, which seems to be his favourite number. He wore it in Calgary and Montreal. This happens a lot, usually with rookies given high numbers, then switching to something a little more "normal" when they make the team. Found an old article about players with the same name. In their first season in the WHA, every single player on the Oilers had their full name on their back. They should do that for the Heritage Classic, just to be a little different from their current 3rds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thankfully there is no initials rule... JA. BENN and JO. BENN would be hideous. 14 and 24 are different numbers. No one gets confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the block font looks a lot better than the rounded font. If anything it's a hint of an actual jersey they'll wear this season/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4One Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 So the Devils have hired the guy who did all of those game posters for the Blue Jackets last year and are doing the same thing this year. And, they will be selling them, limited to 300 per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dallas dropped the ball by skipping out on the 50th-anniversary celebration. While the team certainly re-located cities, they kept the team name and identity (more or less) intact. A roundel saying '50 years of 'Stars' hockey' with both the Northstars and original St^rs logos would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
