I like the Helmet but not the sword/star thing. They should have a gauntlet holding a mace.

a false posted:this is a worse team name than blue jackets At least it sort of makes sense after its Civil War meaning explained: quote:Picked out of 14,000 entries in a contest for the Columbus franchise, which entered the League in 2000-01, Blue Jackets won the vote over the second-place Justice. The name represents the blue coats worn by Union soldiers during the Civil War. Not only did Columbus produce most of those blue coats, but Ohio had more soldiers in the Union Army (nearly 320,000) than any other state. The name and logo are reflective of the area's pride in its place in American history.

Columbus Justice would be the worst team name in professional sports e: quote:Ohio had more soldiers in the Union Army (nearly 320,000) than any other state. This is exceptionally funny considering how many confederate flags I've seen while driving between Toledo and Cincinnati pizza valentine posted:I'm not sure what's funny about the first part.

I look forward to referring to my new team as the Knights into perpetuity, praying everyone drops the Golden part for expediency's sake.

its too bad blue jackets is such a cumbersome name because i like that it's actually a mildly noteworthy celebration of civil war history that isn't pro-confederate

Was "Blue Jackets" actually a term from the war? Because like we've all heard redcoats, but the team was the first time I ever heard Blue Jackets. fits posted:heres the official must-protect list Toronto is required to use a spot on Horton. That's amazing.

fits posted:this is prior to people choosing to waive their nmc although it would be hilarious if horton refused to do so It specifically says it excludes people who will waive and people who will be exempted due to injury so it's not actually Horton's choice. Presumably dead people are on the protect list for now since they could make a miraculous recovery between now and the expansion draft.

Wait how does this poo poo work cause Marchand just signed an 8 year deal in September, with no-move until 2021, and he's not on the protected list? Or is it implied, and hence not on the list, because of the NMC and there are other rules at play in keeping David Backes (lol) Patrice Bergeron (hell naw) Zdeno Chara (take my Z, please) and David Krejci on the protected list? I never pay attention to the business side of poo poo - I'm a simple I-see-hockey-on-TV-I-shitpost-about-hockey-on-TV.

On one hand, yeah I think it's kinda hinky and bullshit for teams to do that - on the other hand it makes me glad where it's not like the NFL where teams can just go "Oh, your career is over due to disability you received loving yourselves up for us? Too bad, you're cut. Paychecks and insurance are cut. Thanks for your time." and dudes like Savard and Horton still can get paid.

http://m.lasvegassun.com/news/2016/nov/23/how-bill-foley-staff-vegas-golden-knights-nhl/quote:Foley mentioned Nighthawks, Desert Hawks and Sidewinders as a few of his runners-up. He could never shake a desire to incorporate Knights, however, in an ode to his West Point alma mater. I'm sure that will resonate with this guy... quote:“I liked the Knight but I thought it might have been better if they would have done something other than Knight because of the whole L.A. Kings thing,” said David Thummel, a 27-year-old local planning to purchase a hoodie. Nighthawks would have been a much better name if they could have come up with a bird mascot like the baseball teams do. You could even have a poster with a bunch of hockey players in the diner/bar of the Nighthawks oil painting, which is just old fashioned fun. It is kind of telling/embarassing how The Creator's boner for the Army is present in every single viable name, though. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Nov 24, 2016 |
