BigDemonNyc Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I was at a barbecue last week and saw this pennant hanging on the wall in the computer room of the guy hosting us. He's an old school Whalers fan from when they played in the WHA. I liked the logo-- Pucky, right? Anyhow, figured I'd share it here since some of you would appreciate it.Here's a closer look:Sorry for the fuzzy pics; it was my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 His name is Pucky indeed. Nice banner. I have one similar to it back home. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrousoxide66 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I love Pucky. Wasn't he a shoulder logo for many seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I love Pucky. Wasn't he a shoulder logo for many seasons?He was for the most part of the 1980's. Just without the "ERS" part at the end.

-kj Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 One could argue that there was more money available to bolster the team due to the new arena with luxury boxes, sold naming rights, etc. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

The_Admiral Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The Hurricanes were operated pretty terribly, though, and it's not like they fell ass-backwards into a mountain of cash by moving to North Carolina.

-kj Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 ...which was while the new arena was under construction, no?I'm not saying I'm certain there's a causal effect; but you're not really disproving that, either.

The_Admiral Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. I think they've been a pretty inept franchise under Karmanos, even going back to the beloved Hartford days, and they lucked into two Cup runs with white-hot goaltending. They were bad in Hartford, they were bad in Greensboro, they were bad in Raleigh. They were also kind of good in Raleigh, but it's not like the Nordiques moving to Denver, where a variety of business moves and player transactions combined with the relocation to make them a league powerhouse. The move didn't make them a perennial contender, and it didn't stop them from being one, either. The same can be said for the Jets-Coyotes. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar74 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Oh man... that one is very very cool... and I love the green Whale Pucky... I wonder if that one can be vectored for a logo? that could provide some nice posting...

Waleslax Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 My roommate in college was from Hartford and was a HUGE Whalers fan. We had Whalers stuff all over the room. I remember that when the team relocated I went out and bought all these Hurricanes items and re-decorated the room for him (actually relocated - because he wouldn't admit it was going to happen until the team actually played game 1 in Greensboro).I mean, I was just giving him a hard time and it was pretty funny for all of us, but now, 11 years later, I still feel bad and he still feels like "the joke's over, give us our team back."Edit - I did want to add that thankfully I still have his old season ticket holders jersey from 1997.
