Cody21 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 In 1996, The NHL started to expand to Nashville, Miami and St.Paul. Another was awarded to Halifax.Names that were chosen for the franchise were Mustangs, Highlanders,Moose and Destroyers. The Destroyers won the vote by a mere 4%. the club then unveiled It's logo: a Grim Reaper, or Death, holding a hockey stick like a scythe. With the club winning the 15th overall pick in that year's draft, the Destroyers selected Dainius Zubrus, who is still a superstar for the Destroyers today.However the club made a big suprise in the third round,selecting Nick Smith. The club unveiled there jerseys that would last until 2000:Any C and C before I make my next post? In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

Morgan33 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The jerseys fit the era perfectly and thats not a backhanded remark ( I love the 90's ). The Black one in particular looks very sharp. Looking forward to seeing this franchise's jersey history. Hope there are a more than a few big changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing this franchise's jersey history. Hope there are a more than a few big changesWhile I agree that the look fits the era, I do not feel that potentially making light of the Halifax disaster is a really tasteful route to go. It's along the same line as calling a team the London Rippers, or Oklahoma City Bombers. Change the logo to something naval themed and I think you have a winner here.

sportstar1212 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Interesting jersey design. I like it. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody21 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 is the logo original?The logo was orignally made by a guy known as Shawn on NHL2P. i asked for permission to use it via e-mail. the name may change, may not. Are there actual Panthers in Florida? Hurricanes in Carolina? Also doesn't the name reflect Fairview Cemetery which is one of the most popular Cemeteries in Halifax, holding over 100 victims of the RMS Titanic? In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out.

Cody21 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 New jerseys up tonight if i get em done in time. one thing: prepare to be suprised.

I don't see how "Destroyers" reflects people who died in a tragic accident? quite the opposite, really. If you were tying it to the naval definition, then it would make sense. But I can't speak to the naval presence in Halifax. A new logo would be cool, the Grim Reaper looks kinda derp-y. And the wordmarks look like they were done with WordArt.

lancealot Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I reckon on the jersey move the stripes down so they start/end at the bottom of the jersey So it overlaps the logo less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Red/white/black doesn't fit Halifax for me. Also, do the Mighty Ducks exist in this universe? It's the same template. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
