fufkin Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hamilton Bulldogs commentator Derek Wills announced tonight that the Houston Aeros will be moving to Des Moines, Iowa next season.Is there something official? I had heard the Wild were having second thoughts. They were considering moving the Aeros to Peoria if the Canucks were able to move the current Peoria franchise to BC.

maz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Already old news, but no new thirds for the pens next year. The good news? The blue fauxbacks are finally dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Isn't it true that Lemieux prefers the Vegas gold? I thought I read that somewhere.

IceCap Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 He does. He doesn't care for the athletic gold and black scheme, which I don't get personally but it's his team so meh.I wouldn't mind the Vegas gold if it was used like it was on the pre-Edge sweaters, with the shimmer fabric that actually made it look gold instead of khaki. A sweater design based off of the early 90s Cup years would go a long way too.

ElwoodCuse Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The Penguins won't have a third next year but will in 2014-2015 for the 30th anniversary of Mario Lemieux's first season. So bring on the yellow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bring on the yellow!Source?He HATED those jerseys. So much so that the team stopped wearing them after his rookie preseason. They're not coming back, not under his watch. I'm ok with it, too. Leave gold as a primary to Nashville. Now if the Cup-era jerseys came back, that would be awesome. What I really want is a brand new third jersey that's good enough to be promoted to a primary. The Pens have done that so many times now, I can't imagine any other way of doing it, outside of being forced by reebok I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Bayne Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I prefer the kahki/vegas gold. Yellow and Black is the bruins...I think going for the bright yellow would be a mistake by Pittsburgh. Anyway, I really dislike the Bruins colors, it's too garish on the eyes. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

kiwi_canadian Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 What about this?I know the Baby Penguins have/ had a third jersey based off of the early 90's Cup era jerseys with the Vegas gold and it looked pretty nice.

spartacat_12 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think that the Penguins can wear black and yellow without looking too much like the Bruins. All they have to do is use more white than yellow on the home jersey. I think a black and yellow version of the pre-Edge jerseys, with a robo-penguin alternate would look great. Even if they want to keep the Vegas gold they've got to change that template. I can tolerate the Sens using it since it works much better with black, red, and white. The white and khaki are too similar to have next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sweater design based off of the early 90s Cup years would go a long way too.The pre-edge set is arguably the best the team has ever looked. I don't understand for the life of me why those awful templated jerseys are even around. The "Edge 1.0" experiment was lowest point in hockey aesthetic history including cooperalls. This is why half the league has redesigned in just 5 years since. Pittsburgh, St Louis, Calgary and especially Colorado need to get with the times.

Chromatic Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 For those who want to see the Penguins go back to yellow: keep in mind that the CEC is full of gold seats.No one is going to spend a boat of money to replace those.Rogers Arena's seats are entirely dark red. Didn't stop the Canucks from going back to blue & green.The ACC has black and tan seats.The Wells Fargo center has dark red seats as well.I'm sure there are other examples as well. The point I'm making is that if a team wants to change it's colours they're not going to let the fact that every 4th row of seats is a different shade of the new colour stop them.I do hope they stick with the Vegas gold though.
