'C' & 'A' to move to right side of Wings sweater

Recommended Posts

All of these little changes are just marketing gimmicks to get people to pony up the cash for the new improved jerseys.

If you go through the league, you won't find a jersey that doesn't have some kind of tweak to it that will be glaringly obvious to the fashion-minded hockey fan.

Luckily I'm not one of those. I'm still perfectly happy with my vintage authentic Nike Maltby jersey from 97, my CCM replica Draper, and my Koho Kocur.

I think it's kind of dumb because now my Zetterberg jersey is outdated.

Everybody's jersey is outdated.

You know, this could work for us. Picture the scene:

"OK, son, Zetterberg is a big scorer. Don't let him by you."

"Which one is he?"

"The one with the A on his sweater."

"Got it coach....Not him, not him, not him...."

"ZETTERBERG SCORES!"

"Why'd you let him by?"

"I didn't see the A."

"It's on the other side, you twit."

"Oh, sorrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy."

LOL ROFLMAO!!! :yowza::lol:

Seriously, not the end of the world.

Bettman is a buffoon.

We love Vladdie.

Stevie is and always will be The Captain.

We bleed Red.

As long as these truths remain, little else matters.

Amen. :)

That's going to take time to grow on me. So what happens if the Wings make the Finals? Where will the Cup patch go?

That is actually a very good point considering that according to the freepress the only reason for putting the letter on the right side was because they can't but it on the left side without hitting the seam.

I guess they'll only run into that problem if they go to the Finals. Considering it only effects 3 players, I'm guessing they'll put the Cup patch under the C or A, similar to how the Devils and Stars dropped the 2000 patch under the Stanley Cup patch during the '00 Finals.

Actually years ago the "C", & "A" were on the right side to begin with; you can spot the "C" on Delvecchio's right.

So it looks as though we're kinda going "old-school" :cool:

Yeah, we're going WAY old school...I'm kind of liking it. Back to the Original Six era. Can't go wrong with that. :)

Next move Bettman will make is to illegalise helmets :huh:

Each player must have a buzz cut/flat top, or a very "clean cut" haircut which can be parted to 1 side :hehe:

:lol:

BTW - speaking of helmets - where has Harold Snepts been hiding?

Illegalizing helmets will actually make the league look tougher again, so that would have the opposite effect of what Bettman would want.
