  1. I posted that Hurricanes image in the 24-25 thread before because I didn't know where to put it and mentioned there was someone in the Hurricanes subreddit who said they got the email said it felt more like a concept testing phase with the accompanying questions asking things like "do you like a stylized letter with team colors/concepts like Calgary’s ‘C’ or script words like…"

  3. It's their first Reverse Retro so they probably did do that. Adidas wasn't going to make them anymore but I guess the Flyers felt it was something there was still a market for.
  4. Somebody needs to check out the Houston airport for a vinyl wrapped window. (Am I correctly remembering that's the leak of the previous Jags set?)
  5. Not to derail this thread any more, but it's interesting reading that with what's happening/happened here in Calgary and this new arena. I definitely think Calgary is above a Winnipeg or a Hartford, but definitely below Atlanta (don't know much about the Twin Cities, but I think it might be somewhat equivalent). However, the interesting thing is that I don't think Calgary is truly a die-hard "sports town". The difference here in Calgary is that all the sports teams are under the Flames/CSEC to varying levels of success under CSEC rule (but I'm unsure how CSEC measures success with the non-Flames teams nor what Hollywood accounting might be in place regarding finances) so if the Flames went, there would have been massive ripple effects.
  6. Like I said earlier in this thread, at least I think it was this thread, the relocation of the prior two Atlanta franchises can be argued away if wanted. At the very least, I definitely think it's disingenuous to hold the Flames move against any potential future Atlanta team.
  7. A lighter blue would definitely work as brought up by @tBBP. Here's Tufts University. Colorado's burgundy isn't the same as Tuft's brown, it's much more like the Phillies throwbacks which also just happen to use a lighter blue
  8. What are shoes if not jerseys for the feet? I didn't know that Vans was started in Anaheim prior to when these were announced.
  9. The two colours are barely touching on the jersey to begin with though? I mean, because when I look at these, I don't see any contrast issues or bleeding between the two. As opposed to a sharper contrast to break them up, how about just white? Change the grey striping to white and then add a blue stripe "on top" of the white stripe on the aways. Like the Blue Jackets aways.
  10. I just looked to see if there was any crossover when the Ducks switched to the black equipment for a short period, which has been explained away as issues getting the purple equipment (though I don't know if I've ever seen an "official" explanation), but they had the black equipment for 97-98 and 98-99 which is after the Avs came in. However, I do wonder how much, if any, of the Rocky Mountain Extreme made it through to the the Avalanche.
  11. Oil isn't orange, lions aren't Honolulu blue, coyotes don't wear clothes and stand on two legs. The only arguments of that kind that I will accept are whenever a lobster based team (of the very few that there are) uses a red lobster because that means their lobster is dead, cooked and about to be eaten and when the New England Patriots wear red.
  12. Yes, I definitely agree. The Flames just haven't been super great at the retirement number banners; They had Lanny McDonald's banner like this from 1990 to 2011 They then originally retired Mike Vernon's number in 2007 in the style of the red and black jerseys, (You can see the McDonald banner in the background. Because of the layout of the Saddledome, the Flames (and Hitmen) will raise banners to a more centre point of the arena for the ceremony and then move them to the permanent spot later) In 2011, they moved the banners to a new spot and updated the old Lanny MacDonald banner to a white version more similar to the current banner (but with a straightened and more bubbly version of the at the time Flames NOB font and almost uncanny valley incorrect block numbers) and changed the Vernon one to match. They then created the retired number second tier "Forever a Flame" (that the Flames spread to the Hitmen and Roughnecks, which as a concept is a bit more defendable with those two teams) for Al MacInnis in 2012 and Joe Nieuwendyk in 2014, which was not entirely well received in the fanbase for either. They then switched the MacDonald and Vernon banners to the current red version for Iginla's ceremony in 2019, leading to where we are today with Kiprusoff's.
  13. Jumping into this late, Disney had nothing to do with the arena construction. Ground broke on the now-Honda Center 25 months before Disney was even awarded the expansion franchise and the arena was already scheduled to be opened about six months after the expansion was announced. Disney specifically picked Anaheim and approached the NHL about Anaheim. It was their first and, practically speaking, only choice and I don't know if Disney would have had any interest in a hockey team had there not already been an in-progress arena down the street from Disneyland. Norm Green had a backroom deal with the Anaheim Arena to move the North Stars there but the NHL blocked it (in exchange for essentially rubber stamping Green's second choice) because Disney approached the NHL about wanting Anaheim.
  14. I don't know if there would be desire to deal with the travel and add a border crossing to the league for one team. The closest WHL team to Billings would be 6.5 hours away.
