You had to quote seven pictures to say that?

Oops, sorry...I didn't mean to include all those pics. Sorry.

EDIT: Fixed!

Wow, this is one of the best threads I've come across.

Hey Anubis! I'm "The House That Ruth Built" from BBF. Glad to see you created a similar thread over there!

I completely agree! Any thoughts on where the old banners go when they're taken down?

The Oilers replaced all their old banners with new ones 5 years ago (don't worry, they didn't change them, they're just made of a material that doesn't break down and lose its colour over time), and they auctioned off all the old ones for charity.

That's too bad the team didn't hold onto them and just placed them in their training facility or something like that. In my opinion, the original banners are just as important as any championship trophy itself.

The Islanders replaced the Retired numbers banners, but the Stanley Cup banners are originals. I believe they gave the retired number banners to the players.

A visit to the Mellon Arena answered my previous question. The banners are now arranged as such:

(Yes I did re-create them in paint. Took me about 3 hours at the beginning of last season. Then I just made new ones for this year in about 5 minutes.)

Would you be able to make Islanders banners like this????

Are the blue and the orange banners in the back Division and Conference championships?

The blue, white and orange banners are for the Conference, Divison and Presidents Trophy championships. The Stanley Cup and retired number banners are at the other end of the arena.

Tavares will leave his mark on Long Island, you'll see.
