notkirkcameron 0 Posted January 30, 2014 Not sure why exactly but Arizona Coyotes just sounds bad. Doesn't flow at all...At 7 syllables, there's no team name in the NHL that takes longer to say. Only four other teams have names that long.Colorado AvalancheMontreal CanadiensPhiladelphia FlyersCarolina Hurricanes 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianLion 1,461 Posted January 30, 2014 The Arizona Coyotes or Pheonix Coyotes.. It doesn't matter since they'll be here in Quebec in 4 or 5 years max you guys were saying the same thing in 2008. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max@lcs 6 Posted January 30, 2014 Just came across this jersey, It would look great if the Ducks slapped the D logo in place of the Hitmen logo. Thoughts? I think this is what Anaheim needs for an Orange jersey. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan33 4,129 Posted January 30, 2014 The Gold touching the Orange looks awful... I think they could do much better as far an Orange Alternate goes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is what Anaheim needs for an Orange jersey.That Hitmen jersey is red not orange, that's just a weird lighting (unless you changed it).I would say yes, but it's the Sharks template that they (the Sharks) just switched from. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityhockeyfever 14 Posted January 31, 2014 The Arizona Coyotes or Pheonix Coyotes.. It doesn't matter since they'll be here in Quebec in 4 or 5 years max Yeeeeeaaaah, not going to happen. And furthermore, spell Phoenix correctly next time.This looks to be true. The current owners of the Yotes lobbied hard to get that new stadium in Quebec built. They also demanded an "out clause" from Jobbing.com Arena after a few years, as part of the agreement to buy them.Seriously, what planet are you on? The Ice Arizona ownership group has NOTHING to do with what's going on in Quebec City.And secondly, they don't have any intentions of exercising any out clause in the new arena lease agreement with the city of Glendale, Arizona.ANYWAY...As for logo or uniform changes, Anthony LeBlanc already stated nothing is changing expect for the shoulder logos. PHX in the state outline logo going to AZ being the likely scenario.I don't support the name change, but I understand why they are doing it. Expansion of the brand's reach across Arizona and the southwestern United States, not just the Phoenix area.And this is NOT out of desperation. It is to help market the team better and grow the team brand. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In any sense My comment stands from that picture with the weird lighting, I still believe it would be a nice alternate.

Expansion of the brand's reach across Arizona and the southwestern United States, not just the Phoenix area.And this is NOT out of desperation. It is to help market the team better and grow the team brand.If I recall it was part of the lease deal that they signed with the city of Glendale. That the team had to be renamed either "Arizona" or "Glendale".I was hoping for a new look (new uniforms, logo etc.). Its disappointing that they are simply tweaking shoulder patches. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tohasbo 649 Posted January 31, 2014 It's only a matter of time before Phoenix...errr....Arizona moves to Quebec. The realignment I think was done for these reasons.1) Moving the Yotes to Quebec, Tampa or Florida to Markham and whatever doesn't end up in Markham goes to Kansas City maybe?2) Expansion franchise in Seattle and PortlandMaybe too much of wishful thinking but the NHL seems dead set on expansion in Seattle. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no evidence of any of that happening. The NHL is going to be in no rush to put a team back in a tiny, already hockey-saturated market like QC. And also, you'll only get a team in Markham over the Leafs dead bodies. Not to mention the NHL is already extremely East-centric as it is Tampa is doing just fine, and Florida is a loss leader for the arena they're tied to. Neither team is moving any time soon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan33 4,129 Posted January 31, 2014 Could tolerate the Panthers existence if they at least looked like they knew how to win. Bringing back red was a good first step but that template is still awful. It's time to adapt the inaugural template to the edge uniform system or something very similar. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
