  1. I actually know exactly what the deal is with that tilted Penguins logo. It was explained to me at one point and then I saw a purchased jersey from that era that fully corroborated the story. Way back, before jerseys were common products, department stores like Sears or Hornes were given contracts to make jerseys, rather than just sell them. They'd be given patterns and the jerseys would be made in that stores' distribution system, sometimes the crests would be made elsewhere and added (which is why you can still find the old 8" Penguins crest loose if you look around). In those early days in areas where hockey wasn't well known, it was a very common mistake to put the penguin sideways, as though the penguin were running because it never occurred to them what skating looks like. If you see a Pittsburgh jersey from the late 60s, it's not uncommon to find a crooked logo on it. United clearly had little experience watching hockey and thought the same thing. I'll have to try find a photo, it was so cool seeing that story come to life That's pretty neat. I know this is a one-year logo, but now I'll never be able to unsee the bottom tip of the triangle not touching the circle.
  2. When clicking on the hyperlinks on the "What's New on the Logo Forums," wouldn't it be better to show the most recent post and not the first page of the thread? Granted, most of us who peruse the forums go straight to the boards.sportslogos.net website, but it'd be nice to see the newest posts first.
  3. Technically, the guy could wear the jersey to a live NFL game and claim that it's game worn (and s/he would be sorta kinda right). I've seen that move lots of times on eBay, and they bury this info deep in the description. Douche move. From the description: 1. EVERYTHING on this jersey is stitched, including the main logo on the front. Other jerseys of this type have the main logo printed, don't go for those. That's rich. If you're willing to drop a few hundred on a jersey on a place like eBay, you better do your research first. (insert obligatory wish for Wild Wing remakes)
  4. This one has me on the fence, not sure if I did it any justice. I decided to go with the logo below because between the two it just looked better. Nice work on the Tecumsehs logo, ren. I think you picked the better logo, since it's got a much more dignified Redskins/Blackhawks vibe.
  5. Hey ren, nice work! I've largely spectated, but can I bug you with either of these? or I can't find a bigger image of the Goldeyes logo. Danke!
  6. The black stuff behind "Stanley Cup Champions" for the Flyers look terrible. Almost like a WordArt effect. I wonder why the Leafs didn't use blue on their banners. Higher visibility?
  7. It's the Devils. Bland and tradition is their M.O.
  8. Popping by to say that your work is marvelous! Love the Rockets and the Detroit Tigers one, although I thought people would pick the 1927 Tigers logo to improve.
  9. The letters on the nameplate are spaced too far apart. Seeing higher numbers in a Devils uniform is weird, too. Wonder if Ryder gets to keep 73.
  10. The last Hartford Whalers set had too much grey on it. Losing a green-clad team sucks, as well.
  11. hxxp://postarchives.entensity.net/040805/flash.php?flash=banana.swf uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh This is about as bad as the time I searched admiral's avatar on Google Images.
  12. Yep, there's a bunch of mint 90's authentics on eBay that still come in bags. If you buy 'em off the shelf, there's probably no plastic bag.
  13. No hem stripes on the blue, and the loss of the bird/feather pattern of the white makes me weep (figuratively). Also, I really liked the Thrashers logo.
  14. I think they'd be kind of hard due to neither of them being "normal" jersey templates. Wildwing with the full jersey logo and the Burger King with the weird full jersey stripes and upper chest logo. Also most people who are looking for counterfeit jerseys don't know why those jerseys are so big, so the counterfeit market is more for current jerseys. I don't have a Wild Wing (don't I wish that I do), but the front logo is screened, right? That can't be a real patch. I'd understand if they don't want to make replicas--the jerseys kinda look embarassing. But that's what makes them valuable in the first place.
