GDAWG Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is it really "NHL expansion" if in a few years the two newest teams are in Phoenix and Atlanta? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 No one would have begrudged them a plain NHL sweater to hold up at the draft, but to drag it out over a year because Fanatics can't do anything except be given money is a joke. 3 3 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is there a more OITGDNHL situation than forcing a temporary identity on a team just to appease a poverty billionaire into thinking that he can somehow build an arena when he can't even pay taxes or hotel bills? At least they have a logo ready to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they have a logo ready to go. People in charge way overthink things. It makes them feel important and project that out. They can create an color scheme, and identity, in a couple months. They can get their supplier to hold off creating their equipment and merch until they're ready for it. They can change their name, colors, or logos in a couple years if they flubbed it. They're not going to hit it out of the park no matter how much time they're given when they rely on dozens of 'focus groups' and 'fan surveys' to come up with the worst answer. What do you want to eat tonight? Pizza. Chinese. Italian. Hamburgers. Cool, let's go with tomato sauce, pickles, onion, ketchup, mustard, pepperoni, on fried rice with breadsticks. Everyone gets what they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 28 minutes ago, Sykotyk said: They can change their name, colors, or logos in a couple years if they flubbed it. Is there any precedent for that in the modern era (team name change just because they didn't like it, not because of outside pressure)? I'm surprised and also not surprised that they don't have this figured out already. They couldn't really pay 10s to 00s of thousands to anyone to start working on an identity before they knew they had a team, because it could be a waste and possibly set people up for a big let down if it leaked. This is generally a once-in-a-franchise's-lifetime decision. It's probably better that they're taking the WFT strategy than potentially flubbing it up (granted, WFT completely flubbed it, but hopefully these guys are a little more competent.)

Dilbert Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The Coyotes owner has said that the Yotes AHL club the Tucson Roadrunners (who he also owns) will be moved to Tempe for next season. Tucson city officials have said they have yet to be contacted by the Coyotes about this and that they want the Roadrunners to stay in Tucson and complete the two years left on their lease. 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought. Plus, Salt Lake City MORE so in the mountains than Denver is.
