The jade and eggplant is super 90s. And while you can make an argument that it fits...well...they've spent more time in orange and black. And they won a Cup in orange and black. And orange and black makes it easy to market themselves as Orange County's team, which is valuable if the Kings have LA proper on lockdown. I think it's also worth noting that the jade and eggplant was associated with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, while the Anaheim Ducks have been a black and orange team. The original duck hockey mask logo has been used across both, but the colours do seem to fit neatly into two eras. And the Mighty Ducks era is over.

There's also the fact that the Coyotes have always had trouble drawing. Factor in the team sucking... and these prices are a lot. You look at your average Coyotes game and maybe 5,000 is about right in terms of what they can sell out, but asking those diehards to pay these prices is a tricky proposition. No doubt they'll do whatever they can to pack the place at the start of the season so the first impression isn't an empty rink...but we'll see where the team's at attendance wise in December.

kaw-kaw!

The Coyotes wish they could get it that full.

Speaking of that... both the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex and Budweiser Gardens in London, ON both seat more for hockey

This is awful. We are watching the destruction of good design happen in real time.

Nonsensical financial decisions is sort of this team's go-to.

They have the gall to ask for $89, at minimum, for people to see the Arizona Coyotes? Sure, let's move the Coyotes into an arena that seats 5,100 people- after threatening Winnipeg with relocation on day one for having an arena that seats 15,000- and charge luxury lifestyle brand prices for tickets for a team that both sucks and has historically had a hard time drawing. That'll do it! So much better then just letting them play in a modern NHL-calibre arena in Quebec City.

Well bloody said. Go Bandits!

The Michigan Panthers might have the perfect football uniforms.

Three years is enough time for a sequel to come out. Jurassic Park II let's go Also... ahem lol Clippers!

This Arizona Coyotes crap has been going on for so long that G-d Himself is sending plagues to try and stop the madness.

Easy there slick. I'm not asking for uniform and logo sets. I don't think a shortlist of markets is too much to ask though.

Ok but who are they coaching?

It's absurd, really. You're right, WB is such a lumbering...thing...it's hard to manage. My only endgame here is purely selfish. I'm not paying for anymore streaming services, so the more that get folded into the ones I'm already paying for the better.

Does this mean Discovery+ gets merged into HBO Max? 'cause if so...cool.

You're still hung up on numbers. It's not about numbers or hitting a quota, because I'm not so callous as to dehumanize human beings by reducing them to spreadsheet data points. It's not about numbers, it's about the fact that there are qualified black coaching candidates out there who aren't getting jobs because of ingrained racial biases among NFL ownership. I'm not looking to hit a magic number. I'm looking to get to a point where clearly qualified black coaches aren't passed over for jobs for Old Boy's Club reasons.

Because the idea that a minority group's presence in a given field out to be proportional to their percentage of the overall population is a flawed and dehumanizing argument that was used by one of the most violent and destructive regimes in human history! It shouldn't matter if the number of black coaches reflects overall demographics or the demographics of the NFL! You, yes you, need to get over that. Ok? Ok. The only thing that should matter is the quality of the candidate for the job. Nothing else. Yet we have seen time and time again qualified black coaching candidates getting passed over for jobs. When Eric Bieniemy and Brian Flores can't get a head coaching job but Nick Sirianni can and Josh f'ing McCown can get serious consideration there's certainly a racial bias.

And there's the root of the issue. You seem to think we've moved beyond ingrained, systematic racism. And buddy, man...I wish that the 1964 Civil Rights Act had been the killshot to hundreds of years of bigotry and prejudice, but it wasn't. There isn't "some" racism today. It's still very prevalent in society. You need to move beyond "proportional employment based on race" as an argument because it's gross and disturbing, in addition to being morally vacant.

No one's trying to limit the number of white coaches, or the opportunities of white coaching candidates. But black coaching candidates have historically never been given a fair shake in the NFL. If they had been then stuff like the Rooney Rule wouldn't be necessary. The reverse racism card isn't handy either, because we're not dealing with a level playing field. Again, if everyone was acting in good faith and not shafting candidates based on skin colour we wouldn't be here. But black people have a been discriminated against both legally and socially in the United States since before there even was a United States. In ways no white ethnic group ever had to struggle in this country. That's hundreds of years of ingrained racism and prejudice that rules like this are attempting to overcome. You're coming at it from a perspective of "why should any one group get an advantage over another?" and in a society that's 100% moved beyond racial bias you'd have a point. But that isn't the society we live in. We live in a society where black people do experience systematic racism in ways white people just don't, and includes in the realm of the job market. These rules aren't perfect, but then again nothing is. What they are attempting to do, however, is give a historically disadvantaged group a leg up when the deck is already stacked against them.

Just so you know...you're using actual Nazi logic. And not in the sense of "oh you disagree with me you must be a Nazi." I mean "we should limit the number of minority people in a profession to their percentage of the overall population" was an actual policy of Nazi German to justify forcing Jews and others deemed "inferior" out of the professional class. So if you're going to put that argument forward... know where it comes from.

The best the Rays ever looked was when they wore Tampa Tarpons throwbacks...

These Leafs sweaters are uniform armageddon for me. Sure. Bring on the ads next year. The holy ground's already been defiled. This team keeps finding ways to hurt me.

I hate this team.

I like that a lot. I like anything that actually calls to mind their namesake (the Canadian Senate). The problem...as nice as this is... the Senators have an identity problem. Centurion? 2D? 3D? Old? New? Maybe the =O= logo? And now we have this...which is strong enough to serve as a primary logo...to add to the pile. It's even worse because they've finally settled on one aspect of their identity and now they have this too.
