Jer15 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Why hasn't this league folded? I mean its a sweet league but in this EC (economic crisis) why is this league still around?Maybe in Denver fans don't come out, but in Buffalo they sell out damn near every game--- that's 18,690 tickets!!!As far as I know, Buffalo, Philadelphia and Toronto have always had great fan support....Actually, the Colorado Mammoth have led the league in attendance ever since their inception, and often outdraw the Nuggets and the Avalanche...And so far this season the Swarm have averaged over 11,000 per game, compared to just over 10,000 per game in '08.I think that the reason the league is doing alright is because its cheap to go to games and the product isn't half bad either. Tickets cost right around $20 give or take a few bucks for the Bandits. Lacrosse tends to be an exciting game, and the crowd, at least in Buffalo, is always very exciting.And perhaps most importantly of all, NLL team expenses are a fraction of those of teams in other leagues, mainly because their players (who still work "real" jobs during the week) only earn five-figure salaries from playing in this league.The Rock haven't been drawing as well the past couple years, but still manage to hit around 10,000 a game.Viper's right. The fact that these guys don't make millions help, and I think that's also a big selling point too. I know alot of people who go to Rock games because they feel like these guy play strictly for the love of the game and admire that. To build on SG30's point, the tickets are affordable for sure, but it seems like they are cheeper in Buffalo. Rock tickets range from 27.00 to 74.00. Of course, compaired to paying almost 500 a ticket for the goods seats at a leafs game...that's a steal.

Viper Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Viper....the pics [of the Swarm camo alts] aren't loading for me! That's odd, I can see them. I wonder if it's because they're posted on Facebook. I don't see why that would matter though, because I make all my game photos visible to the public.OK, here's Plan B: I'll just link to the entire photo album for this game, so you can see the two I posted, and all the others.

Sodboy13 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 And here's the final product:Well, if that isn't giving a potentially good idea the R. Kelly treatment, I don't know what is. The initial blurry image, with the orange portions darker and shaded into the black, was heaps better. And good Christ, what is that font? That belongs nowhere near a sports uniform. And the different color city and team name on each sleeve - just atrocious. Honestly, it looks like some kind of Halloween charity one-off.

Sabrejeff Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 It's goofy, sublimated stuff, but hey, that's what the NLL is all about. And it sure beats the living hell out of the Bandits' black jersey.Oh my God, the black jersey is perhaps the worst jersey in sports history. This one, although much better, isn't very good. The design harks back to 1996 in sports design. I don't like the generic "BUFFALO", nor "BANDITS" either.Why hasn't this league folded? I mean its a sweet league but in this EC (economic crisis) why is this league still around?Isn't your location Colorado?! Can you even get a ticket to a Mammoth game? And Denver isn't even your traditional lacrosse market, outdoor or indoor.BTW, several players debuted these tonight at HSBC Arena during the Sabres/Sharks game. They were wearing them as they tossed t-shirts to the crowd from various sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigma716 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonBlazer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Honestly, I'm pretty much into these types of designs. It's not terrible. Though, the font they used for the name and numbers I would've changed. http://www.reverbnation.com/richardyerardihttp://www.ahlfans.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejeff Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't like the orange numbers on the orange shoulders. Maybe if they were outlined in black instead of or in addition to the white. All in all, the more I saw these in action last night, the more I liked them. Of course winning by 15 might have helped that. They reminded me of our original uniforms too, and are much better than the blacks.Also, I really like the shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 This is a pretty cool design, but the orange numbers on orange shoulders is not working at all. Like said before, it needs a black outline in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
