Here's a good plan for the Isles:
Thay should tear down Nassau and then build a new arena on the site of the old one. Then, the Isles can play in Brooklyn for the 2-3 years it takes to build the new arena.
-
Here's how the NHL should realign:
Eastern Conference
Atlantic Division
Bruins, Rangers, Isles, Devils, Caps, Canes, Panthers, Bolts
Northeast Division
Leafs, Sens, Habs, Nords (Coyotes), Sabres, Pens, Flyers, Blue Jackets
Western Confernce
Central Division
Jets, Wild, Blackhawks, Red Wings, Blues, Preds, Stars, Kansas City (expansion)
West Division
Oilers, Flames, Canucks, Avs, Kings, Ducks, Sharks, Seattle (expansion)

I wonder if he hung out with Brent Gretzky as well. The best part is that "Brent" didn't even wear this style, its what they wore last year when they won the championship. Also, they even confirm that fact with an actual pic of "Brent" in the auction. Jenious.
Got a good example of this seller's "tactics"
I emailed them about this jersey:
They have some London Knights jerseys available, all of which look a little "off" when it comes to the name/numbers. For starters, Pat Kane never wore that jersey in London, and second of all, the coloring is way off. People do like getting older players on new jerseys, but usually do it through the Knights team shop. Their email response was that they do all lettering in house. So im assuming they cut their own tackle twill numbers and letters to the best of their ability, and sew them on.
Here is some others that are a little off
if you look closely, the 6 just looks like a photoshopped upside down 9.
Again, the 9 / 6 is off... the hole in the number is too small.
Just thought id throw in another example considering its the same seller.
Here's more from this seller.
The numbers are a dead giveaway, they are supposed to have a dropshadow, not a regular outline.

Geez, I'm so tired of the Coyotes situation. It's obvious to everyone but the NHL that Phoenix can't support a hockey team.
They are on life support and it's time to pull the plug on them.
[/mini rant]
-
If any team other than the Coyotes moves to Quebec City, the NHL Board of Governors and Bettman should all be shot.
AMEN to that
It was bad enough that the Coyotes didn't leave after last year.

I grant that Toronto and Montreal are not US cities, but they are not cities seeking expansion/relocation teams either. They have been in the league since its creation. They aren't going anywhere any time soon. (sadly) I'm just saying that since all that the BOG cares about is expanding revenue, and US TV revenues would be a good way to do so, that expanding into Canada would not be something they would see as favourable to that plan.
And yet, a year ago, they let a team from the 8th largest media market in the US leave for a small prairie city in Canada. A move that proved to be very profitable. Not only does it prove that the NHL doesn't need to try to fit round pegs into square holes in southern American markets to increase revenue, but it also proves that regardless of what the NHL wants they're still bound by the realities of the situation. Trading Atlanta for Winnipeg may not have been something the NHL wanted to do, but it's what they did because they didn't have a choice. Given that the move back to Winnipeg worked out, I'm sure the NHL will be less resistant to returning to Quebec City once it becomes clear that it's the only viable option for the Coyotes.
Maybe the Coyotes will go to Seattle. They, like Quebec City, have plans for a new arena in the near future.

And for good reason. If you can have all divisions with an equal amount of teams there is no reason not to. It's silly imo to have some divisions with 7 and some with 8.
But with that format the league could potentially expand to 32 teams.
-
I'm not crazy about turning the AL and NL into East and West. Why fix something that isn't broken?
-
The addition of burnt orange to the San Jose Sharks colour scheme is a vast upgrade.
I'm a fan of the orange too. I don't get the hate for it.
-
I just noticed how much the Columbus Blue Jackets # font looks like copperplate. I created a sample photo to show you guys:
Blue Jackets is on the top, copperplate is on the bottom.
-
I like the 1912 Canadiens barberpole jersey. Nothing says old school like barberpole.
-
Saw this one on one of the sites...wouldnt be a bad look for a Jets 3rd IMHO:
That's the one Jacob Barette designed. I'd consider getting one of those if I know I could trust that site.
-
Those Chargers alts suck because they aren't using a true powder blue.
In the same state but a different sport, the current Sharks identity is the best they've ever had. I think the addition of orange really works for them.
If it weren't for the front numbers I would agree wholeheartedly. Can't understand why they used that generic black alter in the playoffs last year.
I hate their alt. It's just so drab and boring.

I have a quick question for those who are on the Pro-Buying-Fakes side of this argument, especially with regards to NFL jerseys. What's the appeal of buying them over the $75 replicas? Is it 100% the fact that the fakes are cheaper, or is the authentic look just that much preferred over the replica look?
This is for research purposes for my Sports Law paper. As mentioned before, I'm writing a law school paper on counterfeit jerseys, and I plan to have a so-called "Reasons people buy them" section. I'm not actually going to quote anyone, but I just want the general feeling.
I'll use NFL as an example beacuse that where it seems to be bad:
I think knockoffs are populare because people are pissed off with Reebok. Reebok charges $80 for a jersey where the logos, numbers, and stripes are screen printed. You could also get an authentic jersey for $250. Then, there are the Chinese made jerseys which are meant to be the equivalent to an authentic. They may be knockoff, but for the most part it looks accurate and everything is nicely embroidered and go for $20-60. Which would you buy?
Not to mention there's rumors of Nike upping the prices on NFL replicas when they take over for Reebok in April. Over $100 for a replica is bullsheet.
If the logos numbers and striping are embroidered, I would be okay with that price.

The funny part? The team described those uniforms as "Baltimore Ravens-like."
In what way do those emulate the Baltimore Ravens' look?
The Ravens 04-07 alt was monochrome black. On the ice, the Oilers home uniform was meant to be all navy with no other color. Hence, the half striped sleeves and minimal piping.
-
These were the best Oilers jerseys of all time.
I agree that navy and copper look better than their blue and orange, but the red really threw it off.
I don't know why a lot of teams in the 90s felt the need to add red.
Not to mention that the Edge redesign royally FUBAR'd this entire design.
Yeah. Reebok really :censored:ed the Oilers. They made a decent, cool uniform look like complete trash. The worst thing is that the Red Deer Rebels currently wear the exact same template.
Yes, that is Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
-
Not a counterfeit, but my friend posted this pic of himself at the Hockey Hall of Fame. You'd think they'd get the name font right.
I'm looking at the Canadiens jerseys from that era on nhluniforms.com and the name font seems to match up.
-
Looking at these piss poor knockoffs makes me want to set them on fire.
-
I don't mind the black Islanders third. I think it looks interesting. I'm not crazy about the basketball style front though.
-
Why do they even bother making knockoffs of fashion jerseys?
-
It's beautiful!!
I joke -
-
Will the hockey templates be posted anytime soon? I have been waiting since the summer when all the new jerseys were released.
I joke
