  1. Some tragic news. The SS Avalanche sank off the coast of Seattle. The early reports was that it struck an iceberg and sank. The "official" report is that it struck a pod of whales and went down. But the local fishermen tell a different story. They say it was sunk by something else. They say it was a monstrous creature living deep below the surface. A creature few men dare talk about. An octopus the size of a mountain. Now everyone chalks it up to the fishermen drinking too much alcohol. They say its just superstition and myth. Childish fairy tales. The locals know better.
  2. The original version of Nyisles was deemed to scary for the kiddies. I can't imagine why.
  3. Negatives: No wave stripes No teal (the little dab on the logo doesn't count) No wavy name and numbers No lighthouses Positives: The Fisherman is back. He's back in the New York Groove. Nyisles is back. The greatest mascot in the history of history. (Well except for Mac Tonight from McDonalds)
  4. I was wondering what those decals on the back of the Penguins and Bruins helmets were. (From tonight's game).
  5. Not to derail this thread but check out this old SI article about the Barons. https://vault.si.com/vault/1977/03/07/clevelands-not-barren What a :censored:show that team was. And that was after their first season. They came back to play another year!
  6. When the Barons and North Stars merged, the merger deal was written on a cocktail napkin in a bar in Czechoslovakia, and after the board of governers approved the merger, one of the governers was quoted as saying "All we did was take two bags of :censored: and merged them into one bag of :censored:."
  7. What are the odds that one day we'll have digital ads on jerseys? During a game you'll see the Montreal Canadiens logo vanish from the front of the jersey and be replaced by a Bell ad for 15 seconds. Bell Internet. The fastest 7G Internet in Canada Connect your home and all your devices to the most reliable and powerful Internet in Canada. Bell Internet. Before reverting back to the CH logo.
  8. Not really unused because it was just a mockup for the 1982 draft but check out the all green North Star "N".
  9. I agree. When I saw the (inaccurate) replica at the HHOF back in the 90s I thought it was pretty sharp (blue with red and white trim with the pretty flower on the front). But then after doing research and finding out they had ugly bumblebee stripes, I was disappointed. BTW Not to derail this thread any further but I always thought it was funny that renditions of the Rosebuds logo on the web were so inaccurate from the actual logo on the sweater including the one on this site. Check out the comparison from the actual logo to the common renditioned one. BTW The original Rosebuds of the PCHA (1914-1918) had a rose logo too. It just wasn't on the sweaters. It was on their team pennants (which was the only type of merchandise back in those days).
  10. Weird thing is (in regards to the horizontal stripes) is that some sweaters looked like they had them while others didn't. Look at McCormicks sweater vs everyone else.
  11. Way back in the day (around the turn of the century) I was helping a guy named Lee with his old site the Hockey Sweater Museum. I think he was from Victoria and he found a reference on microfilm where the writer (who covered the game) referred to the visiting Rosebuds as having black and yellow colors.
