I posted some of my earliest work here & slowly turned an art hobby into a side hustle. A decade later, I am a professional artist. I have worked with several pro athletes on shirt designs & I've carved out a niche selling mashup pop art & merch online. I also just completed an official collaboration with he Buffalo Sabres! Proceeds from this official Military Appreciation Night design benefits the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park and their preservation work on the USS The Sullivans, a decommissioned US Navy ship, named after five brothers who were killed in live combat. The ship has recently made headlines for taking in water & we're hoping to literally keep it afloat! https://26shirts.com/collections/frontpage/products/special-edition-buffalo-sabres-military-appreciation-night Shoutout to all the members of this site who walked me through the basics a decade ago! 🫡 I love this -- but why USS? The ship is either USS The Sullivans, or DD-537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krabs Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) I'm not a new user. I've been a user on this board for 19 years, but my old account was locked so I had to make a new one. You know how annoying that is. Anyway, have any teams announced if they will wear their alternate jerseys in the postseason? Unless I missed it, I haven't seen anything.

Unless I missed it, I haven't seen anything. I haven't seen anything either, but the regular season is just ending so there's still time for teams to make that announcement. From looking at the teams playing, I don't know how many we'll see. Boston - Florida: Florida doesn't have one and I can't see the Bruins using theirs Toronto - Tampa: Tampa doesn't have one and I can't see the Leafs using theirs Carolina - Islanders: Carolina usually wears the black alternates in the playoff but eliminated that song and dance by making the blacks the home jerseys so I can't imagine they'll use the reds in the playoffs now. Isles probably not, especially with Lamoriello around New Jersey - Rangers: Rangers don't have one and as much meme play as the Jersey Jersey gets, don't think the Devils would use it in the playoffs Vegas - Winnipeg: No for both I would say Edmonton - LA: Maybe we could see the Chevy alternate from the Kings but the Oilers have to be a no after they finally went back to the royal (again) Dallas: Probably not Colorado: No, after last year especially Minnesota: Don't have one Seattle: Don't have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina could use the 25th anniversary jersey as well, since that's the design they've had the most success in; and like you said, they have a tradition of using alternates in the playoffs. But yeah, I don't see a whole lot of teams who would opt for their alts or RR over their main look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgmania Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I was wondering if the 'Canes would do that. I think it's the right move...heck, I hate that they moved away from those jerseys at all. Update the shoulder patch to the correct 'double flag' for a hurricane warning & you're all set. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally it was the black double-flag jerseys, but now that those are home jerseys they're moving to their current alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sharks had a phase where they and their fans were way too impressed with themselves, but years of Sharks futility kinda beat that out of them. They were kind of a dry run for those early Twitter-savvy Blue Jackets teams, who themselves wound up being a dry run for the Meme Teams of today like the Hurricanes and Predators -- Columbus doesn't get the blue-city-red-state formula precisely right and can thus never be a true Meme Team. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
