gueman Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 My money is that these were a warm up jersey. You don't see any opponents, or fans for that matter. Plus the MDA on the shoulders tells me it was for a charity auction, although those are usually game worn, looks like a special none the less. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J. O'Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Actually, it might actually be from a game (aren't they having attendance woes?)I agree with the one-time charity auction idea, though, given both the general hideousness of these jerseys, and their otherwise unannounced appearance.

pcgd Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I recently went to an Indianapolis Ice game and they had warmup jerseys. I remember commenting to my friend that the socks didn't match (white socks but the warm up was light blue) and that they were Maple Leafs Socks. I got an eye roll...I had never seen that in a hockey game, but I haven't been to many games before.This is what these look like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEye Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Those are game photos... pretty obvious by the pic of the faceoff.... and the defenseman on the blueline... Just special game jerseys for auction later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye Customs Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The Iowa Stars wore these jerseys for one game only (Jan 12th vs. Rockford Ice Hogs). Immediatly following the game, the jerseys were auctioned off via a live auction. The winning bidder got to go down to ice level, meet their player, get an auto, and then got the jersey off the player's back. Winning bids ranged from $450 up to $1750.All proceeds from the jersey sale went to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. In addition to the jersey sale, a portion of ticket sales also went to benefit the MDA. Prior to the Stars game, there was also a game pitting local firefighters and policemen against eachother. This is an annual event that they have dubbed "Guns & Hoses." There was also a teddy bear toss, chuck a puck, and several raffles and memorbilia auctions which also went to benefit the MDA.This event helped draw in additional fans which brought attendance up to 4,400+ (3,700 average). A solid night for the Stars.Overall it was a good time. The Stars did a pretty nice job with this. Though they aren't a popular design, the jerseys were pretty well recieved and were a main focus point in the stands. Fans really seemed to like them. And while up close I didn't love them, from the stands, they looked pretty good.But these jerseys aren't something to get too worked up about. I think this was a one and done sort of thing. I doubt we'll see these again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an eye roll...I had never seen that in a hockey game, but I haven't been to many games before.This is what these look like to me.The thought of "warm-up" jerseys in minor league hockey goes back to the 90's in the ECHL when the league had rules against sponsor patches on game jerseys. As a couple of other leagues failed, teams that moved in to the league were coming from leagues where selling patches on jerseys was a major source of income. The ECHL allowed teams to come out with warmup jerseys with large sponsorship patches (or sublimated logos) that were worn for all of pre-game warmups, public appearances, etc. I know in a couple of places, the teams even sold warmup jerseys for yet another source of income. Eventually the ECHL relented and allowed the patches, but some teams elected to continue the practice of warm-up jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (aren't they having attendance woes?)They do seem to be struggling mightily at the gate this year - averaging 3,689 a game, down a whopping 24% from last year -and I don't get it. Is it an Omaha-type situation, where the junior team in town is more entrenched, more affordable, and therefore, more popular?(On two semi-related notes: it'll be interesting to see how the new af2 Barnstormers fare this season, and for crying out loud, somebody kill off the Lowell Devils already. Less than 2k a game can't cut it in the IHL, why should it in the AHL?)

mantleisthebest7 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm still confused as to how flames relate to stars. For pete's sake, what is going on in the minors? Sure it may be just the minors, but they need to have a little more professionalism here. Those are butt ugly. Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
