PurpleRush Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Since the two line pass has been legalthe last few years, does the red line need prominence through the center ice circle?I know icing is based on the red line,but can't the linesmen, who make so many closeoffside calls, be able to judge if a skatergained the red line?I think they can.Refs in the NBA have no issue with back court violations in the NBA with team logos coveringthe half court stripe.I'd like to see the full logos return, and eliminate issueslike the poorly skewed Maple Leafs logo.

goforbroke Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The NBA center line (and all lines) is - by rule - allowed to be broken by a logo or design but the edges of the line must still be visible. In other words, you can cover the center line with a logo but an outline of the line must still be visible from end to end. Sometimes it doesn't show up on tv but you can see here how the line stays intact all the way through. I agree that I wouldn't mind them doing this same meathod in Hockey so the center logos look a little cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleRush Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Still needed for determining icingRight, but my point is that linesmen, through 8-10 skates can judge an offsidein a second.Isn't it easier to determine if one skate out of two has gained the tip of the red line for icing? That to me is an easy judgement,and could eliminate the prominence of the red line through the logo.Goforbroke - I have noticed the striping for NBA midcourts is therein outline fashion.

FlyersHockey1967 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 You would still need a blue dot there for the face off circle, and it would just look weird with a random blue dot in the center of a team logo without a red line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 So just have thin red lines along the edges of the dot and up through the faceoff circle.It doesn't interrupt center ice logos as much and it still gets the point across. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I always thought it strange that the actual red line isn't standard. Check out this article: http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2009/10/21/seeing-red-in-all-its-wide-variety/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
