  1. Yeah, all the RR jerseys go on sale Nov. 15. Some teams are doing pre-orders through their online team stores, but not everyone.
  2. If it makes it better/worse for anyone, the Avalanche and NHL are not referencing the Rockies at all in any of their marketing speak about this uniform. Now obviously, the Rockies inspiration is clear, but according to them it's simply a Colorado flag version of their original sweaters. Quote from NHL.com " . . . pays tribute to its home state by incorporating colors of the Colorado flag while reintroducing the original jersey design donned by Avalanche greats in the 1995 inaugural season." I think this is why they went with just the C instead of the Mountain-C. So, they could distance themselves from the old Rockies as much as possible.
  3. As someone who has lost some of the most important people in my life, I know it’s not my place to tell other people how to grieve. That being said, this Utah helmet is one of the most ridiculous and selfish things I have ever seen. I hope to god they got the ok from the deceased’s families before doing this.
  4. That's a terrible logo, but I love the idea of using unused stuff for the reverse retro program. Would love for the Avalanche to do either an Xtreme or Wolf/Nordiques look as a reverse retro.
  5. I remember a couple years ago (like 2019 or so) the Braves tried to curtail the chop as best they could. They quit playing the music that initiated it over the PA and they even went as far as playing competing music/sounds over the PA when the fans would start doing it by themselves. Sadly, once everyone came back from the pandemic they went back to initiating the chop over the PA again.
  6. So now these TV stations are super imposing their own ads on top of the boards that are already covered in ads? The NHL really decided to make watching this league as unenjoyable as possible over the offseason.
  7. That's exactly what it is. (For now) They are only allowed to have an ad in the upper right chest. They may not have an ad sponsor right now, but this move is for sure so they can add one in the future.
  8. King Soopers (Aka Kroger) is the largest supermarket chain in the US. Kroger keeps the old local names of the companies they buy out because people get real emotional about where they buy food.
  9. I'll be crossing your name off the invite list for my summer BBQs because you're not coordinated enough to play football, baseball, or basketball with a beer in your hand.
  10. I wasn't a huge fan of the Melo look, and I could take or leave the current set. I have a soft spot for the Navy/Maroon/Gold of the 90s, but the Nuggets should be rainbow or bust. Use the last round of Nike alts as the basis but switch Black to Navy, and you're good to go. Also, as a Denver native, I would love it if I never had to see the Colorado flag on a piece of clothing again.
  11. 06 teams shouldn't be using the jerseys of the WHA, save that for the newer teams. I believe it's a "streamlined" version of their '51-'55 look. Of course with the script instead of the roundel logo. http://www.nhluniforms.com/Blackhawks/Images/Blackhawks18.png The problem is, they've already done a version of every one of their jersey designs within the last 2 decades. Sure, you could do a red version of their '26-'34 look, but they just used that design for the '19 Winter Classic. And the '34-'35 design was more or less used for the '09 Winter Classic. Even this RR, like Ridley pointed out, is a retread of their 75th anniversary jersey. The well for Blackhawks throwbacks has run dry.
  12. They have blasty, as well as all those western inspired alternate logos from their old alternate jersey. If they just go with that lame W it’ll be a huge missed opportunity.
  13. Considering how small the garment industry is, I would be shocked if Fruit of the Loom wasn’t at one point in their history a part of the pro sports jersey business in at least an indirect way. I know for sure they had a deal to make Wilson apparel during the 90s, but I think that was strictly for casual athletic wear.
  14. The main draw of doing this wouldn't be soccer, it would be concerts. Set up some summer 3-day concerts with Dave Matthews, Phish, Dead & Co., Luke Bryan. etc. and you make an easy million+ each weekend.
  15. Real Men™ playing Real Hockey™. None of that pretty boy millennial bull crap they got today!
  16. Doesn't Trucolor only show the official colors in respect to Pantone and graphic reproductions? The actual fabric colors will be slightly off from those shades in almost every situation.
  17. I forget if it was Game 6 or Game 5 of the finals, but I saw someone in the front row wearing a Jack Johnson jersey. I'm a fan of 4th line jerseys, but even I thought that one was a little much. In a perfect world where Girard doesn't get hurt, Jack Johnson never sees the ice. 2016-2017 was a perfect storm. You had the Sakic/Roy fall out where Roy quits 6 weeks before the season starts. That was such a gut punch to the fanbase, I can't even imagine how much it affected the players. Then you add on Duchene moping around all year asking to leave while putting up a -30, the starting goalie Varlamov only playing like 30 games, and both Erik Johnson and Landeskog being injured throughout the year. I know there were talks of blowing the whole thing up after that year; Firing Bednar, trading Landeskog, etc. Thank goodness they didn't do that. The Tampa reign of terror wasn't/isn't that terrible. I mainly have issues Maroon and Kucherov because they are some of the poorest sports I've ever seen. I love Hedman, and everyone else is fine if not a little boring.
  18. Following the Avs throughout the 2010s was a real f***king chore. Lots and lots of terrible hockey, including the worst season in modern NHL history. Seeing these guys below who were apart of that worst season, raise a Stanley Cup is honestly amazing.
  19. What an amazing series that was. The fact that Tampa made it to (and almost won) three straight cups is a feat that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
  20. Still needs silver outlines on the numbers. Whether it's a double outline or single outline, silver needs to be on the numbers.
  21. You've never heard of The Boss™??
  22. It really drives home the whole top 1% wealth inequality in this country when you see that everyone who owns a sports team is related to each other.
