dgnmrwrw Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I know I'm a bit late to the game on this one, but at the ASG logo unveiling, the dark red background looked a lot darker, almost like it was halfway between red and black:Maybe it's just the photograph--everything on the placard does look a bit washed out. But the contrast between the background and the bright red looks a lot greater, and the contrast between the background and the black puck looks a lot smaller. Maybe the logo actually has a darker color? HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Why do the Hurricanes have a cow(?) as a mascot?It's a pig, and outside of a possible "Deliverance" connection, I have no earthly idea.

BrySmalls Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The Canes have a pig/hog as their mascot since North Carolina ranks second nationally, behind Iowa, in the total number of hogs and pigs produced per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The story I have heard that one of the people trying to block the construction of the arena was a pig farmer and as a compromise for his support they made the mascot a pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniformity Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The Caps will not make it to the Cup final, sorry.You say that with absolute certainty. I hope you're wrong. I'll put money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejeff Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Here's hoping the Caps lose the Winter Classic and have a more successful campaign in the 2011 Playoffs.(Yes, I know what I'm saying).Well so far, every road team playing in the Winter Classic has made it to the Stanley Cup Finals....Exactly where I was going with that. You just better hope they win the WC the way it's trending...2008: Penguins win WC, lose SC2009: Red Wings win WC, lose SC2010: Flyers lose WC, lose SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Is there any word on when the Sabres are going to unveil their new uniforms? It's August and we don't even have a date to look forward to yet. At this point in 2006, the Slug had leaked weeks ago and the new uniforms were unveiled at an open practice. Let's get on with it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
