BBM Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 As far as I know the Rangers have the only web site that isn't a template. They also have straight hems on their jerseys (as opposed to the rounded shirt hems on other jerseys). As far as I know they're the only team that's done this too. Personally I think both these things are improvements, but is the NHL just letting them do this because they're the Rangers, or are they going to make them switch back into conformity eventually?

RedRenesis Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The Rangers sued the League trying to stop the NHL from taking its website over. I believe the Rangers lost that suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The suit is still ongoing, I think, although a judge refused to block the NHL's takeover of the Rangers' site while litigation proceeds.http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=222004&hubname=nhlFor a while there were two websites claiming to be "The official site of the New York Rangers" - the team's, and the league's.

If they straitened them out it would improve alot of the jerseys. THere again there wasn't much wrong with the jerseys anyway, just a filthy corporate cash grab. Spoilers!

Gothamite Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 IIRC, somebody noticed in one of the game photos that the rounded shirttail was just folded up, cresting a flat hem, and sewn in place.Teams (and players themselves) make little alterations to the jerseys all the time.

Puck Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I actually like the uniformed websites, I don't know why the rangers don't have to conform.The idea of them makes sense in a way, but the NHL's implementation has been horrible. Nothing at all exciting about them.I'd rather have the deal the NBA has, a series of templates from team's to choose from, marketing done by the team as opposed to approved by the league and league mandates.

Websites aren't about who's the prettiest or the coolest, it's about getting the content across and if the user can't find the information they are looking for or are sitting through a stupid 5 minute flash presentation every time you visit the site, then as a designer of a website you failed and should be fired.

Even though some of the pages on the drop down menus are different, the sites are overall the same for quick findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll gladly take the LA Kings' old site over the templated site because, even at its slowest, it felt like a vibrant part of the Kings organization. Now, it's as if I'm looking at the printed media guide of any NHL team is clip art(logos) that are interchangeable with any other team in the league(sans the Rangers).

thefooligan5 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 rangers jersey tailfrom this pic it looks like someone just sewed the tail back under the jersey ...can anyone confirm that this is what the team did for all their players?it seems likely as the agreement with reebok seems to be a stubborn one and I doubt they would have eliminated the tails for just one team.
