I hope no one is around to smell it.

Must've taken a puck to the noggin. Head injuries can be quite serious and lead to irrational actions.

You said Oshie, but not Porter? I'll say Zajac, but not with the Devils.

That's correct.

Hakstol is also a previous winner of this award.

Siouxski17 was awesome enough to share his Jason Gregoire gamer collection. Check it out here: http://sioux-jersey.com/siouxski17

Don't forget Ed's stint with the Sharks.

As far as I know, no one gets a full ride to UND, not even guys like Jonny Toews.

I think I"m just going to call him "Mr. H".

AHL games are a blast. I've been to a number of Admirals games. It's a very similar pace and type of game to the college level. Obviously it's a bit of a step up, but it's a fun, easy game to watch. AHL games are typically a blast because of the statement Fetch said...most of the fans that go love the team with a passion. Also, I read the other day that attendance numbers averaged around 3.5k at the bottom (I think it was OKC), and about 10k at the top (I forget who). That's not that daunting even for this area. The hard part would be to do it for 38 home regular season games (plus playoffs).

Speaking of concepts...I got a little bored of Sioux jerseys back in December and mocked up some Mankato sweaters. There was no rhyme or reason to picking the purple cows...just picked a school and went with it. The idea behind the concept was to make better use of the school colors in Mankato. They've gotten lost in their dreary black, so I wanted to bring back some more color into their scheme. The alternate uses a modernized version of their old diagonal MSU jerseys that, IMO, were pretty cool.

Kariya was way too good for college. You can't fault him for not being a four-year player. I, too, would take four years of Johnson over Kariya, but Kariya is still the greatest.

In my humble opinion, the greatest college player to lace 'em up.

Well look at that...

Johnny Ringo's (aka Tiggnutts) gamer collection can now be seen on Sioux-Jersey.com! Great stuff! http://sioux-jersey.com/#/tignutts/4575560473

Much more common than you might think... Denver http://college.jumpf...=383&sportid=40 Boston College https://secureq.scou...ckey/u28h1.html Minnesota (though theirs is via email for men's hockey) http://www.gopherspo...tionnaires.html Those are just a few, and are big time programs, the farther down the list of D1 programs you go, the more common it becomes.

I think the way the pic is taken makes it look that way. It's on a mannequin so the "roundness" of the jersey gives a sort of a fish-eye effect, making the numbers look bigger than they are. Just a quick mock-up:

That was an early release pic, so no names on back. But, yes, the women did have names on the back of those.

Just so no one's confused (I went back a bunch of pages myself), here's what MafiaMan liked.

Much better!

Yep, sure did! Awesome collection.

What are you using to post your messages DLap?

Looks like you have some issues there DLap2. Can't say I've seen that before. The current jersey set has grown on me a little, though could use some tweaks. I haven't done much in the way of concepts, other than a quick mock-up of what some others like to see. I really think we need to find a definitive wordmark to display. Schools like Maine, Notre Dame, Denver, and Boston College all I have wordmark identities that look great. You could literally spell whatever you want on the jersey, but if you use the same style font or design as any of those wordmarks, you're going to say "Hey, that looks like Maine (or whatever team). I don't mind a standard block style font, but there really isn't any sort of identity with it either. I think a revised version of the script wordmark from our 1950s greens might be a place to start. The women sort of did this on their Gemini jerseys, but the font still looks a little too 'structured' and generic for my tastes as well. This summer I'll maybe start a Concept page and start picking out ideas to start creating a new brand for our hockey team...just for fun. With a new nickname coming in a couple years, things are going to change pretty quickly again. We're a lot closer to new nickname/logos than what people are realizing. Also, I see virtually no chance at any changes being made for this upcoming year.
