2013-2014 Avatars

[Dharvey33]

It speaks to itself that but does he have character should be the moto this year.

Like Won the Norris trophy. But does he have character?

Viking Badass. But does he have character?

IMO Bergevin just gave it to us.

 

[Andy]

Is 5'6, but at least he has character -Desharnais

can't stop deflection shots, but at least he has character -Price

Perimeter player, but at least he has character -Pacioretty

Diver and cheapshot artist, but at least he has character -Subban

Has no Vision, but at least he has character - Eller

Like he's skating in sand, but at least he has character -Murray

useless grinder, but at least he has character - Moen

plays like a little girl, but at least he has character -Plekanec

 

[Victoire HuGo]

Gorges: Overpaid (bottom pairing defensemen for some ) but... CHARACTER

 

[donghabs98]

The character idea is genius!

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Character is a pretty good one

 

[JPGoHabsGo]

I like it

we could have armstrong with something like

BUT I HAVE CHARACTER

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

I agree about the character theme!

... and istead of writting a regular ''Character'', just do it this way:

aracter

Get it? CHaracter

 

[JLP]

I notice that 2013-2014 is the 100th anniversary of the first appearance of the Hab's iconic sweater and logo, albeit with an "A" inside the "C."

Before this we had the barber pole and several other very different designs. So perhaps the avatars could give a nod to the "CA" logo?

I'll give you a 10 for the effort...

But at least you have character

 

[ZARTONK]

Any design ideas?

 

[Account Terminated]

I like the "... with Character" idea.

 

[ZARTONK]

Yeah, it's a good one.

 

[That Habs Fan]

+1 on the ...with character

Dibs on

building chemistry early
...with CHaracter

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

i have no actual contribution except: I like the "CHaracter" idea.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

You can't spell Character without Chara.

whoops nvm..

 

[Forsead]

Yeah the CHaracter idea is pretty nice, I like that.

 

[NobleSix]

The character idea is a good one.

Could be a 3 slide .GIF, similar to the one Forsead has.

First slide would show something that relates to the caption of choice. For example, have a picture of Moen getting punched in the face or losing a fight. Then have the caption underneath the picture that reads something like "Tough guy who can't fight".

Second slide would be universal to all avatars. It would just be a picture of Bergevin's/Therrien's face, with a speech bubble that reads " But at least he's got CHaracter".

The third slide could incorporate JLP's idea, and have the CA logo, with 1913-1914 above the logo, and 2013-2014 underneath the logo.

Character is a great idea but the self-loathing, self-mocking like above is lame as hell.

Why not go with having some pride in this team...........

 

[Ice Poutine]

No excuses... (but with caracter)

Carey Price lets in soft goals but with caracter

White gets his face bashed in but does it with caracter

Desharnais gets splattered on the boards easily but with caracter

etc etc...

I'm with you. I think after our finish last year we should try to change the tone to. I know it doesn't really "matter" but I'm sure we could come up with something around CHaracter that isn't totally self-deprecating.

mmmmmm....


We can use the Habs logo in "Character"

 

[donghabs98]

anything new on the avatar front?

 

[roy munson]

Just throwing this into the mix...

I had an idea while reading so much **** again against the Habs by other fanbases as they seem to use the word "typical" quite often. The diving ("typical") - Subban not mamning up ("typical") - the crowd booing ("typical") - the refs calling a penalty against the other team ("typical"), etc.

So since we overused (IMHO) some negativity in the past for our avatars, why not play it in a more positive tone: "Subban wins Norris: typical" - "Pacioretty scores 35: typical" - "Prust will fight anybody: typical" - "Tinordi will be a star: typical"... you get the idea.

We could use the Laviolette face as the background image for Typical.
