Fresno St. Alum Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Does anyone have a fanatics brand flex fit hat? I was wondering because I wear s/m in reebok and new era, m/l in zephyr. I have 7 1/4 head. There is no size chart for fanatics brand other than generic. I don't wanna buy l/lx or s, Oilers & Leafs hats w/o some sort of specifications.

I seriously think that will happen next year. Heard something the other day when I was at their practice facility the other day and the rumour mill was it'll happen either next season or for the 2018-19 season. Take that with a grain of salt, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus points for the NES 'Ice Hockey' segment. I'd buy that game with just those teams! Loved the Ice Hockey and Streets of Rage clips.

Take that with a grain of salt, though. This is my fear with a lot of teams, like the Sens. They should have ample opportunity to switch to jerseys whose elements are already freakin' designed or in place, but we'll learn later that (for whatever reason) Adidas had to rush to fulfill team requests and full rebrands were postponed yet again. Again, this is just my theory, but it's based on the precedent that's been set in regard to jersey incompetence going on a decade. Teams like the Panthers and Leafs, my guess, decided to rebrand this year because maybe they were told they could only modify an existing design or place logos on preassembled Adidas templates. I just have a feeling we're going to be served a diet of garbage by this jersey overhaul, and those teams that didn't switch over this current season will either regret it or end up not doing a full reboot until 2018.

I can't remember how many times I cut class (I was in High School at the time) to go home and play that game. My favourite character was Max Thunder. I even named my dog after him.

TheRealPepman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 When talking about each team's home and away uniform.... (Alternates will not count on my list.)

NY Islanders - KEEP but home socks should look different NY Rangers - KEEP Ottawa - NEW Philadelphia - KEEP Pittsburgh - KEEP San Jose - KEEP Tampa Bay - 2001-07 set with 2007-11 logo St. Louis - KEEP Toronto - KEEP Vancouver - TWEAK (New colors for orca - ditch navy and silver in favour of blue and green) Vegas - ?

spartacat_12 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's rare to see the mainstream media (meaning not these boards or twitter), getting involved in logo discussions, but hopefully this gets the team's attention: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/sens-logo-in-need-of-revamp-1.3955966?cmp=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Quote "The Sens have had identity problems since day one, when they decided not to leverage the historic brand they already had, said Spencer Callaghan, account director with communications agency Thornley Fallis and a longtime Senators fan who tweets under the handle @Senturion. "The Roman theme was tangential to the name Senators at best, and had no relation to Ottawa as a city, or Senators as a hockey brand,' said Callaghan, a longtime critic of the team's marketing efforts. This is all true, but it doesn't make the 2D centurion (or even the 1992-2007 version) bad. Done right, it can look dignified and timeless even without an explicit connection to Ottawa. The barberpoles are good, but the standalone capital O just doesn't do much for me. Hard to rally around an empty circle. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The Centurion is stale but a Times New Roman 'O' on two stripes is brilliant. The author completely missed the mark about the teams best, and yet to be used logo. I'm glad there are no plans to make the simplistic, overrated, heritage uniform the basis for a new identity. The only thing fitting about that move would be the 'O' symbolizing zero cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sens won zero Cups with the Centurion but the original Sens won several Cups with the =O=. Nevertheless, I would be more than happy with the updated 2D logo than the Messier-glare 3D look.

ColeJ Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I don't have an issue with the O. They could possibly snaz it up slightly, and pick a better font... but if they wanted to ditch the vintage white but go full-time faux-barberpole, they'd look fantastic. They can always create a crest/shield logo but keep the O on the chest, Rangers style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If you're really gonna do a good barberpole design, like what the 67s have, I'd just as soon have no crest at all and let the stripes carry the branding than have a stupid letter O. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
