That jersey ad really brings it all together

Oh god, that's gotta be it. Their victory song can be "The Poophole Loophole."

The Utah Quiverfulls, the mascots are a polygamous creep with 20 kids via 3 wives. Also let's not forget the State Cooking Pot - The Dutch Oven. There's some potential there.

Eh. Less is more. If the logo is good enough, which the Texans' arguably is, the helmet can otherwise be left alone entirely.

Leave the bare legs to the NCAA. The NFL would look stupid as hell without socks.

Jamie Benn is their captain. Garbage in, garbage out. edit: and literal garbage on the ice, as well

lol, my Renegades champions tee was refunded for some reason. I didn't request a refund, so I'm guessing they had a printing issue or something?

This is America, sir, and here in 'Merica, we don't have no soccer bullcrap. You take that fruitin-tootin' man-kissin' garbage and go back to Yorope.

There's gotta be some blorp town in one of the Dakotas or Maine that has a grungy fanbase of 20-30,000 people who will put their asses in the seats for the bulk of the regular season.

Just...just leave. Ya know? Go. They don't want you there. Where are you supposed to go? I don't know! Somewhere else!

Ah yes, just what the NHL is missing: teams in red and black.

Yeah, well, you're wrong and stuff This has been a quality post, and you're welcome for being blessed to have read it

It's all inevitable. The entire product, every single aspect of it, will enter a closed system. Annual subscriptions, local market premium fees, PPV super bowl, draft, and playoffs.

Somewhere in Wisconsin feels like the logical non-Canada landing spot, if I was to pull suggestions assward. A second franchise in Michigan? Would Indiana work?

Would Ohio be able to support two NHL franchises? Feels very iffy.

They likely broke even after the first ad break checks cashed.

If the Hurricanes wore their Whalers alts for the entire series, by law we would have to support them.

Easily a fireable decision. Just...the epitome of brand suicide.

Proud of the Kraken for having a noteworthy playoff run. They did the "plucky, you don't belong here, kid" thing and made some noise. Brought some eyes to the franchise and displayed some moxie and all that crap. That said, the remaining four teams are all mostly unlikeable and I want nothing to do with whoever's left. I guess go...Canes? Panthers? This feels like rooting for a blooming onion that's been sitting in a window for a few weeks.

I am not a big fan of the ILLINOIS helmet, but I get why people have a soft spot for it. I’ll keep an eye out around campus for any niblets. I walk by the Smith building nearly every day.

The man looks like he's trying really hard not to poop himself.

Curious what direction they go. It'd be nice if they added, I dunno, anything to give their uniforms flavor. They pivoted so damn hard post-Chief that they've left themselves virtually nothing to lean on branding-wise. "Hail to the Orange" doesn't really mean anything besides "go orange team," and they refuse to adopt a mascot, so....what now? The helmet they revealed in 2021 feels like the optimal and timeless helmet they can trot out game in and game out: My guess is they'll add a little bit more white and probably return to a block numeral. Maybe a couple touches from the Butkus era? Dunno. The uniforms could stand to have a little bit more but they should stay the course and not have a boatload of alts. Iconify the helmet, embrace the orange, and introduce a pinch of flavor.
