JayMac Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm just waiting for the Arizona/Las Vegas matchups that may look like glorified scrimmages (if the colors are what we think they will be) and no one will attend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sizesble number of members have also harshly (but fairly in most cases) criticized some of what the professional designers at Nike, UA, etc have come up with, so I see no problem with him driving this process. A professional may be able to execute the concept better than an amateur, but as far as the actual ideas go, there's no problem with him taking the lead there, especially since he essentially came up with the branding and knows more than anyone what message or feeling the uniforms are supposed to convey. That doesnt mean they won't suck, because this guy doesn't sound like he gets it, but at least as of now there's no reason to criticize him for overruling adidas. As a professional designer, I feel the best clients/leaders/owners are those who understand that there are experts in every field and trust those experts to do the job better than anyone else. Meddling may work on a rare occasion but overall, those who hire and trust experts get better results. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I get the sense of these responses once the uniforms come vomiting forth: steel gray ("Our research showed that actual knights wore steel.") vegas gold ("We wanted something distinctly 'Vegas' sounding.") black ("All the players on all the teams wear black, right?") navy ("We heard navy sells well." royal blue ("My favorite color so I insisted on it being shoehorned in there.") red ("We heard red also sells well, plus it's aggressive and stuff.") roundel ("We wanted that mix of old and new.") drunk piping everywhere ("My wife thought it would look great.") faux military sigils on the sleeves ("We were pissed that the Panthers stole that idea from the Jaguars who stole that idea from Anaheim who stole that idea from the actual military who probably stole that from France who stole the idea from us, so we felt we had to do them one better!")

BeerGuyJordan Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 16 hours ago, dont care said: No the coyotes will move the Quebec before them I think they're more likely to move Vegas to Quebec. Three reasons: A. They've invested to much to lose face by moving the Coyotes. B. The Phoenix market is much more profitable than Vegas. Not in terms of revenue, but of being able to "sell" that market in the TV deal. Utilization is irrelevant, they still get to use it as a selling point. C. Moving a former Canadian team back to Canada would probably feel to much like admitting they were wrong.

BrianLion Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 A. The new LV expansion franchise is not moving to Quebec. For cripes sake, they wont even play their first game for almost a year... B. The Coyotes aren't moving to Quebec (Seatlle, maybe....) C. No one is moving to Quebec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 If anyone is moving to QC, it's Carolina. Still unlikely to happen, though. Las Vegas is not going anywhere for at least 20 years or when the Bettman era is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like the only chance for the Nords until the NHL decides to do another expansion whenever that is... (The Eastern Divisions might have to be moved around a little bit though... Maybe Buffalo to the Metropolitan and Quebec to the Atlantic??) "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

NYYNYR Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Seattle development is veeeeeery interesting, indeed. Coleman may be able to come on board now with his bid. Only issue still seems to be NBA-first. If the NBA balks or takes 5-10 years to make a decision, is the NHL gonna wait that long? Hrm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson160 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 you're all thinking too short-term. of course the las vegas franchise, which has not even started play, is going to move to quebec. but the question is what happens then. quebec city clearly is too small to support an NHL team as they lost one already. so where does quebec move? i say atlanta.

Atlanta will be hemorrhaging money by year three, necessitating a move to a shiny new locale that gives off an air of unlimited cash potential......Las Vegas, Nevada, baby!
