Diagonal lettering has never been exclusive to the Rangers. Hockey is bigger than the NHL, it's extremely common at lower levels, particularly college. And even in the NHL numerous other teams have worn diagonal wordmarks over the years.Are we going to be so obtuse to not acknowledge that the Rangers jersey that they’ve worn almost exclusively for close to a 100 years isn’t “their” signature?
It wasn't . It still isnt.Listening to the Jets announcers. They thought it wasn’t interference till it was called such.
I’ve long been on my anti-swirl agenda and I approve of this message.Even though the Rags had them forever, I like the Canes aways a lot better and it's not due to homerism. With only 5 letters vs 7, each letter is a lot bigger which gives the jersey a much more aesthetically pleasing splash of color, at least to my eye. And I've subbed for an elementary school art teacher a number of times, so I'm definitely qualified to make such a judgement!

oh, and f%*k that goal reversal!
Before 1928?Diagonal lettering has never been exclusive to the Rangers. Hockey is bigger than the NHL, it's extremely common at lower levels. And even in the NHL numerous other teams have worn diagonal wordmarks over the years.
MLB was founded in 1867 and every teams name was spelled out on their jersey. The Rangers did nothing unique.Are we going to be so obtuse to not acknowledge that the Rangers jersey that they’ve worn almost exclusively for close to a 100 years isn’t “their” signature?

1920:Before 1928?
No it wasn’t. Even by 1900 only the Reds had the full city name on their jersey. Most were blank.MLB was founded in 1867 and every teams name was spelled out on their jersey. The Rangers did nothing unique.
See, see, but THOSE jerseys the LETTERS are angled down, not JUST the WORD!!!! HA YOU ARE WRONG1920:
1921:
And that's just stuff I could find quickly.
Ok man the Rags were the first team ever to English, whatever makes you happy.No it wasn’t. Even by 1900 only the Reds had the full city name on their jersey. Most were blank.
And that’s not even the goddamn point. Diagonal lettering on a hockey jersey. Original 6 team did it in 1928 and has mostly had that for the entire time. The Canes jersey is at the very least inspired by that.
