im surprised that you didn't replace the Wolfpack with the Whalers yet

[JackM]

Hey, I think the poll options are backwards. If you click one option then vote, it indicates that that was actually a vote for the other option.

[Baggsy]

@JACKM I know i clicked the wrong choice so many times because im so used to how the old options were :P

[lightning25]

@ST4RR,
It's not official yet.

[Nooj]

same i clicked so many wrong teams

[kyojikasshu]

Yes, I've noticed that several of the AHL names are appearing above the NHL in the poll options, only to show the normal arrangement (NHL team on top) after submitting a choice. Hope this gets fixed - I'd hate to see this get skewed because of a mix-up!

[Chris]

I was checking to see if anyone was paying attention to what they were actually voting for. Hmm.

[Brian]

As poor as the Atlanta logo is for the NHL, the abortion that is the Chicago Wolves (yes, that is a clip art wolf) should not have 50% of the vote. Remember: Just because it's a poor NHL logo does not mean it is a poor logo completely.

[Corey]

Im surprised too see the Preds logo with yellow trim. I thought they were changing too the blue trim, and ditching the yellow completely.

[G-Man]

Atlanta needs to blow it all up and start over. New nickname, unique color scheme, new logo.

[Jacques-Andre LeBeau]

Okay... how on Earth are the Texas Stars winning their poll? I mean, come on! At least Dallas's logo looks professional. I think I'm going to spend a moment playing around in MS Paint to see what I can do with that concept. Hopefully something better.

[Jeff P]

Because people like the beveling on the star better then the plain one?

[Austin E.]

milwakee admirals all the WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fraser52]

go NORFOLK Admirals!!!!

[Hollywood]

i can not vote norfolk at all, if anyone has sent their bozo the clown road jersey you would understand. after goin to all the hershey games against norfolk, i want to throw up watching those jerseys, so the logo is just horrible to me. and i prefer the texas star over dallas cuz theres more happening.

[91Pens92]

Go Hampton Roads Admirals...OOPs I mean Norfolk Admirals. Back in my Navy days (HC-6 Chargers Det. 4, '91-'95, CH46D helicopter mechanic) I used to go to see the Admirals play all the time. They were the Hampton Roads Admirals back then and they were affiliated with the Capitals

[adiderek]

Chris, I think you should create a page showing all the championship banners. (:

[jesse]

I agree with adiderek I would like to see them all together.

[adiderek]

I agree with Jesse

[fraser52]

yeah i have to agree the Norfolk Ads road jerseys are hideous, but the home ones are decent, but compared to Hersheys jerseys their both crap, i think they have the best looking uniform in the league

[AdamEdg]

G-Man: "Atlanta needs to blow it all up and start over. New nickname, unique color scheme, new logo."
I'll agree and add a new location to that mix. But I do think their logo is far better than the Wolves.
Maroon and gold work for both teams, but Atlanta insists on having navy & baby blue for some reason.
I guess the Thrashers name works on some level because the Brown Thrasher is the state bird of Georgia... But it just has a 1990s "extreme" sound to it.

[DanC]

Thrashers/Wolves, Wolves/Thrashers? How about neither? Those are both aweful. I hate all things Atlanta...colors, logos, jerseys.

[Hollywood]

@ fraser52, i really hate to say this, but your right. i am not a fan of the bears jerseys this past year. the best was 2 or 3 years ago, with hershey or bears writing diagonal down the sweater. those were the best jersey.

[fraser52]

@HOLLYWOOD yeah those were great, the only jersey that Norfolk had that were very nice were the old 2000-2004 blue and gold uniforms, hinestly i think they should bring back the old 1989-1999 ECHL Hampton Roads Admirals threads

[Hollywood]

those were nice jerseys, i liked when the blackhawks were their parent clue, and they used those jerseys too.

[fraser52]

yeah the black alternate they had was the best

[Hollywood]

the black and red worked for the ads, but now with tampa, and using red blue and yellow, it looks horrible. just go back to the old blue and gold unis

[kyojikasshu]

Maybe we could do a Battle of the Chins between the Peoria Riverman and the Binghamton Senator!

[Hollywood]

o bingo has that hands down

[fraser52]

ha yeah, at least Norfolks logo looks better than Milwaukee's floating head

[Tyler J]

I feel like the Chicago Wolves just need to simplify the wolf head a bit.

[fraser52]

or they should just remove the puck and stick
