stpmn Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 All NHL teams will wear this Katrina Relief Fund patch on Opening Night. Each team will wear the set with this patch only for the first period. After that, teams will break into their normal set of game jerseys. The NHL will then auction off the jerseys for the fund.As posted two weeks ago, the Wild will then debut the Fifth Anniversary patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddley Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That is a very good thing to do with the auction of the sweaters. I am wondering if the Blue Jackets will do the same with that aniversary patch like the Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Why would they wear it only for a period? Is the patch not aerodynamic enough or is it too heavy for the jerseys? Is it because they care about the relief fund for only 20 minutes?It's not like they're gonna auction them during the game (or is it?)

pollux Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 This is the only information I got on the subject, but there is no mention on when the jerseys will be auctioned.NHL linkFor the first period of each team's home opener, players will wear a jersey bearing a special patch confirming the Clubs' and players' commitment to the people and communities impacted. The jerseys will be collected and then auctioned by League auction partner Truition Inc., on NHL.com, all NHL member Club websites, and NHLPA.com. Further details will be released as they are finalized.

Lumbergh Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 yeah, perhaps wearing them the whole game, then auctioning them off is a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I think you're missing the point. At least they're doing something! Who cares if they just wear them in pregame warmups or out of the damn tunnel. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

stpmn Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 The Wild are also wearing jerseys for warmup. Each player will wear the number "1" with "Wild Fans" on the back. During the introduction of players before the game, each player will present their warmup jersey to a pre-selected season ticket holder at centre ice.So yes, that means three sets of sweaters for the first game for MN.Heck...its a great way to get rid of all of the CCM/KOHO jerseys in stock. Now they don't have to put a Reebok patch over the old logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondsBacker25 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 thats a tiny little patch. I thought htat teams were going to wear jerseys with Katrina Relif Fund crests in place of the team logo for one period. Now that would be fine to wear for just the first period then auction them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Heck...its a great way to get rid of all of the CCM/KOHO jerseys in stock. Now they don't have to put a Reebok patch over the old logo. They actually do that in the major junior league. In a few cases, they ever put them over Nike and Bauer logos and then the stitching comes off and it's funny to see. Besides that, they never bother to remove those old Bauer and Nike tags from the inside of the collar either.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

Who cares if they just wear them in pregame warmups or out of the damn tunnel. That's not what I meant... I'm glad that they are doing something to support the relief fund. That is a great idea. But would it be so hard to wear that patch for a whole game? Better yet, why wouldn't they do three sets with the patch, wear one jersey for every period, then auction them all?Don't get me wrong here, I think it's a great move by the NHL, but they might have done something better than wearing it for just one period...

GUINNESS Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 the NHL does not own the jerseysthe MeiGray group does(not all teams,i believe CHicago doesnt belong to them,as well as minnesota,columbus,pittsburgh,SanJose,Phoenix),,and they sell themim sure some deal was cut with the NHL giving MeiGray something backgame worn jerseys are big buisinessnhl gameworn jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 On another note, I think it is ridiculous that the Wild 5th year patch has the name "XCel Energy Center" on it. This is like a bonafide add. Only teams with traditional stadium names should ever think about putting the name on the uniform, like my Sox 3 years ago with (RIP) Comiskey Park. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I love the idea of a patch being aerodynamically impossible to wear. Doc Crosby comes out of the tunnel and spins horizontally in midair and hits the ice, then can't get up until that tiny patch is torn off.

spyboy1 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Yes, it's nice they are doing something for charity, but perhaps it could be done differently.Wear them for the whole game. Give them a chance to actually get some "game use" marks or a rip here and there.Make them more exclusive and just have the team Captains wear them for the entire game, like the Hockey Fights Cancer program. There would be less of them with that one game patch and, for the most part, star players like Sakic and Thornton. You might raise the same amount of money and give the buyers something more exclusive for their purchase. Sure beats a end of the bench defenseman who sits all period. I'd rather have 1 of 30 than 1 of 600.It just seems to me they are getting carried away with these "game used" jerseys. There's a difference between "used up" and "used once".Oh well, it's for a good cause.

Perfect Zero Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Wow, they do something nice and all you people bash them. If you feel so badly about not putting players names on the back of jerseys (which the Yankees and Sox should just follow everybody else and start new traditions), then why should the league put even a patch on the jerseys?I commend the league for their actions, and this should do nicely.

spyboy1 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Calgary did not wear the Katrina patch last night against Minnesota. They had their 25th Anniversary patch on all night.Edit: I read on a game worn jersey forum that only the home teams will wear the patch for their home openers.JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.
