zer0dotcom Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 The countdown should begin soon. Some life stuff has come up so I'm gonna be busy, but whatever. I also added the Hitmen Teddy bear Toss sweaters and player names to several alternates from this season. Newer jerseys will have player names on them instead of the generic 'player' '24' or '97'.

nash61 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I randomly came across this picture and thought I'd share it. Apparently the MAINEiacs wore Mariners jerseys for a game. I believe it was in 2008. On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

zer0dotcom Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 With all the moves happening in the WHL, we could have a ton of new uniforms coming next season. Chilliwack moving to Victoria (they used to have the Cougars before the move to St. george) and Edmonton to Grand prairie (talk about a long road trip.)Also, just need one more source and then the CHLuniforms top 15 will begin on twitter. Follow @chluniforms to check out the count-down. I've also written up an article on the history of St. Mike's uniforms for the Sportslogos.net blog that will run closer to the Memorial Cup puck drop. According to the official memorial Cup twitter, the Majors Cup uniforms are 'Pretty awesome' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big bloody mess but if that did happen where Prince George moved, I think it would be appropriate that the Victoria team took back the name Cougars and Chilliwack can keep the Bruins name.

zer0dotcom Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 The big News yesterday, the Shawinigan Cataractes have been names the 2012 Memorial Cup hosts! They'll be the next focus for getting a complete team history complete. I've been in a Memorial Cup mood, so I've added memorial Cup patches to some of the more recent winning teams with any notable player on the uniform.

I've been in a Memorial Cup mood, so I've added memorial Cup patches to some of the more recent winning teams with any notable player on the uniform.Do you need the sources for these? I've got some pics of the old Cataractes jerseys (which, by the way, were sooo much nicer than the stupid ones they have now with the cross-eyed first nations logo). I also think I have a picture of an anniversary patch they had at one point to celebrate 40 years of the Q in Shawinigan.Good for Shawinigan to get the cup. They have a new arena which, apparently, is fantastic. Saint John will get it next time around, I'm sure. I think the league just didn't want to give it to the "new" team. I was sort of hoping for Cape Breton to win because it's such a beautiful place... but the Screaming Eagles play in one of the worst arenas in the Q, so until they fix that, don't expect the Memorial Cup to be hosted there...

I have a few sources, but not for the older uniforms, and I don't have many dates for when the changes came in either.The Cataractes remind me a lot of the Vancouver Canucks: Been around for about 40 years, have always been "good" but never "great" enough to win any championships. They have awesome retro jerseys, the old colours seem to match the old Canucks uniforms, but in the history of the team, neither franchise was able to agree on a consistent colour scheme... and both teams have a "native/first nations" motif...Here's what I got - the Cataractes jerseys didn't change between eras, so the jerseys change with the logos. And boy, do I miss the old green/blue/red jerseys...HOME (1998/99 - 2007/08):shoulder patch:ROAD (1998/99 - 2007/08):shoulder patch:another photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zer0dotcom Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've got a hand-up with the cats jerseys,their are two versionsof the 91-98 shirts, some both say Shawinigan, while some say Cateractes. We'll have to figure out dates for the change from one to the other. I've tried to get a hold of maximgam to see if he can help out with that logo and clean renders of the shoulder patches.I have these jerseys ready to go:http://jrhockeyjerse...23/Default.aspxI just need to pick a player name for the back, hopefully a captain or altAlso, I found a link to the old QMJHL page, with some good team timelines to try and place all of the jerseys in sequence and find older uniforms there may not be photos of or any sweaters remaininghttp://38.108.70.85/...e=16&page=27844Edit: Found the date, it was 1996 when the shirts switched and says Shawinigan instead of Cateractes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the QMJHL media guide, the Cataractes did switch to their vintage "C" logo at some point between the two First Nations logos, but I thought it was a mistake since I didn't remember seeing them wear the retro jersey that year (and if I did, I probably just thought it was an alternate, silly me). Looks like they went vintage for the entire '08-'09 season to celebrate their 30th anniversary (and 40th in the Q). Damn, now I'm going to have to go back and fix my QMJHL playoff-bracket wallpapers I'm working on...EDIT: Or not - they did have the new First Nations logo as a primary for '08-'09, as per this page - the Rimouski memorial cup patch is proof:http://sports.webshots.com/photo/2238236630100145113ILTZIvI've tried to get a hold of maximgam to see if he can help out with that logo and clean renders of the shoulder patches.Don't forget - the new uniform has it as well, in a different colour scheme: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 From what I recall, they worn the First nation's logo beginning in 08-09' and wore the Wild Retro template for the season with the C logo jersey as their alternate ( Their reps at the Top Prospects game wore the alternate). They only had those shirts for one season before the EDGE uniforms came in. I think it was a mistake on the part of the Q webpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_Roby Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 For those curious as to the significance of the Shawinigan shoulder patch, it's actually the logo for the Cité de l'Énergie, an old industrial park in Shawinigan that got turned into a theme park/heritage site.The lightning bolts recall the old power plant, as well as Shawinigan's municipal flag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
