Sabrejeff Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 With the team likely not making the playoffs (and Saturday being on the third jersey schedule), tonight could be the last time we ever see the Slug! Team managing partner Larry Quinn eluded to earlier in the season that there may be a change to the retro third-jersey-style uniforms for the team's 40th anniversary (which is next season). I hope he follows through, but with him, I'm not gonna hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The writing's been on the wall all season.Too bad they won't make the playoffs, though. I put money on those losers to win the East before the season started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm seeing is a mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoligerBS Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The team's first season was 1970-71. So their 40th season is not until 2010-11. Next year will be season 39.I think we've got one more year of the slug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 That would be their 40th ANNIVERSARY. Not the same. That's saying 40 years since they started. For 40th season, you count that inaugural season, aswear you wouldn't when referring to an anniversary year. You would start 1 year from the first year.

Linus Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The slug is horrible but I hope they keep the blue jersey as an alt. because I love the jersey design and the shoulder logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 But... but... now that the Buffaslug is gone, and the OKC Thunder abomination (possibly) about to be replaced or relegated to secondary status, what are we going to have left to pick on?We can still pick on both of them. But now, I won't feel the need to pick on it every time I see it, which is a good thing. Those logos were not made to represent a professional sports franchise never should have seen the light of day at all. They both should of been scrapped like first drafts that didn't cut it.

(Much like the Stanley Cup has the 2004-2005 year marked off "Season Not Played". Recognized, but not played.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If they actually get rid of it, that would be a pretty short stay and an example of how the public can influence these things (like the 49er helmet that was never followed through with). Of course, it's unfair to those who shelled out a bundle of money for the jersey, but we're used to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
