cyandlux Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Theres little to no info on the site but Im just wondering what is up with them using the Whalers logo on the site? Are they trying to get permission to use it, are they just showing what teams were in the original WHA or are they really going to use those?WHA link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokalax Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It is my understanding that those logo's are still owned by the WHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It is my understanding that those logo's are still owned by the WHA. No. They're owned by the state of Connecticut. And since the old WHA doesn't and can't own anything anymore, I don't know how they would own the Whalers' logo. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

ColeJ Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 maybe connecticut only owns the H-W-Fin logo, instead of the pucky logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Nope. Everything associated with the former Hartford Whalers is owned by the state - including the Pucky logo.I should tip my cousin who works in the state comptroller's office about this - maybe they'll send a nice letter to the WHA reminding them of that...

JetsLuvver Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 What is the point of the state of Connecticut owning the Whalers identity if they're never going to let anyone use it for anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 So that's what is going to happen with the WHA, it's going to become a junoir league. Probably a smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 What is the point of the state of Connecticut owning the Whalers identity if they're never going to let anyone use it for anything? I think that this is a way to preserve the nickname for CT... so when a future NHL team comes to CT, it would use the nickname and all the Whalers' stuff.

Both the Rangers and Bruins would voice objections. The Islanders also might not like a Hartford team. Hartford is wedged right in the middle of 2 major markets who already have teams (and in New Yorks case 3 teams). It makes it real hard for CT to get a team.

The Bruins most defintely would...although every damn time there was a Whalers/Bruins game at the Civic Center, there were quite a few folks wearing the Black & Gold Hub-B with an amazing inability to pronounce their R's...The Rangers actually waived their objections to the Whale joining the NHL back in 79...however, seeing the dip-plop Dolans run the show at the Civic Center, they can block anything coming in that could replace the Wolfpack...Nobody around here gives a flying fluff what the Isles think...they're too busy trying to cultivate Fairfield County (read: Bridgeport) as an area for fans...hasn't worked too well (most folks are still Ranger fans down there and nobody goes to Sound Tigers games unless they're playing Hartford)It's wishful thinking, but there's more of a chance of Bridgeport falling into the Sound than the NHL coming back here.

Joshawaggie Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 what i dont get, is that since the state of CT owns the whalers identity, why are they just sitting on this gold mine and not doing anything about it. They could be selling tons of merchandise in this era of notalgia and throwbacks. crazy if ya ask me. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Monstah Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 You're telling me. EBay is the only place to find any Whalers stuff, and I'm scared to use it so I'm stuck. What can't the Whalers come back? It'll be my personal goal in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it real hard for CT to get a team. I think youre wrong. Theres already a presidence set that all 4 teams ultimately can survive, so that argument is out the window. Hartford would need 1. a new arena, which aint happening especially since they just built Rentschler and 2. a team to move here, which definately isnt happening.
