Hat Boy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Why does Charles Barkley's retired number banner have the "new" logo on it? It looks ridiculously out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibsouper Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Why does Charles Barkley's retired number banner have the "new" logo on it? It looks ridiculously out of place.No kidding. Good catch.Because they retired his number after they had updated their logo. That's the reason, I definitely disagree with that reason though.

That's the reason, I definitely disagree with that reason though.Yeah, they were really big into their new "identity" back then. It sucks that they used that logo.

I must have missed that last time i was in the Toyota Center. To the right of Gordie's number you can see part of the Aeros' championship banners that are similar to the Penguins'. The banner on the left is for one of their Avco Trophy championships back in the WHA days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepJeep Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 In 10 years #9 and #56 will be added.What about 2, 22, 25 and 26?2 maybe, but probably not. Had he stuck around a little longer rather than chasing $$$ than probably.22 got his hanging in St Louis, but perhaps there's room for it in Dallas. Will it change to a 16 when viewed from the other side?25 seems to have a bright future in Miami. If it were up for retirement consideration, they wouldn't have given it to Conner.26 perhaps. That's a distinct possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a distinct possibility.i'm one of hatch's biggest fans, but there's no way 2 gets retired for him.hully is confusing, since he wore 22 for the big moment, but only wore 22 for 1 season. then you've got 16, which he only wore for 2 seasons here, and didn't really do anything worthy of retirement for. hull means a LOT for the stars franchise, but there is no number that symbolizes him or his accomplishments.nieuwy rules, but it won't get retired.and jere has a shot, but only if he never plays anywhere else... and then it might not be immediate like mo will be, and zubie should be.

Korbyn Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 In 10 years #9 and #56 will be added.What about 2, 22, 25 and 26?#2 - Hatcher was with the Team in the North Stars years but he left for money. If he retired a Star then there was a big possibilty.#22 - Hull is my favorite Stars player of All-time, but he only played for 3 years. Despite him scoring 'the goal' I don't think he will be added.#25 - Again was in Dallas not long enough.#26 - A possibility for sure. Lehtinen, Modano and Zubov all have the greatest chance.

usahockeyrube Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 In 10 years #9 and #56 will be added.What about 2, 22, 25 and 26?Or #20 (Belfour and Ciccarelli)As a Minnesotan I say retire #23 and #4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
