3rd jersey speculation

[Negan4Coach]

Excuuuuse you...

(though to be fair I will be living up there again real soon)

Fayetteville? I watched most of the 2006 cup run from Sports USA on Ft. Bragg....there were like a half dozen dudes there in that enormous place.

One time I was staying in Blowing Rock while on a snowboarding trip. I went to a bar and was all like "can you put on the Hurricanes game" and the barkeep was all like "Its Friday night! Miami doesnt play until Saturday, dummy!" and I nearly went berserk and tore the place down.

Every mockup of a two flag design I've ever seen has royally sucked. I really, really hope that they havn't gone that route. Cool in theory, but it's always been ungainly visually.

What if the 2 flags makes a whale tail?

I've seen mockups where the two flags were like ripped to make a C and H... kinda like this? Not sure how I feel about it

 

[Lempo]

The one on the black one would land us on endless mockery of the appropriate-to-our-talent-level maze there is in the logo.

They’re gonna go preppie with the Vineyard Vines look.

Well, we have an SPHL goalie, why not an SPHL logo?

I also love the Chinese knockoff quality main logo on the shoulders of the black one. Makes it look super professional

Iiiiinteresting.

Adding the NC flag will really piss off the relo theorists.

I like it.

Still want to know what Michael Smith’s hint of “fish food” meant

ever noticed how similar the NC flag is to the TX flag?

Relocation confirmed

(in all seriousness, if this is the case, I put the O/U on 10 comments before someone mentions the Texas flag when the reveal makes its inevitable appearance on the main hockey board)

It was just a reference that you’ve already seen it, but it’s not going to be overwhelmingly different

“Fish biscuit” is a reference to the show Lost. Basically it means an outcome that isn’t anything special.

That's precisely what they want you to think

It’s the old misdirection trick. Get us expecting something close to what we had before. Then unveil the league’s most fabulous new fashion statement!

All it’s missing from Reggie Dunlop’s marketing pitch is some tits.

It'll be featured on the upcoming season of Project Runway. That week's top designer will have their uniform featured as a permanent alternate look for one of the premier franchises in American sports. (classic PR oversell)

I have a hard time envisioning the double flag main crest without it seeming too busy. I don't like the NC flag idea at all.

The only thing that would bug me about the NC flag is that it clashes with the whole rest of the uniform. Colorado pulled it off because they designed a whole jersey around the same colors and features... this would be more like Calgary where the flag is a big distraction.

My guess is that it'll be a 2-tone flag, similar to how we handled the eye logo on the previous 3rds. I base this on this image...

The dotted fabric indicates that patch is on the shoulders, and if the rumor is true... I do wonder if this means there is a NC on one side and SC on the other.

There are pretty specific rules about how flags are supposed to be displayed... granted, they’re not iron clad laws, but it’s the sort of thing that people will nitpick and make a stink about. Particularly for something as visible as this. I’d think two-tone is off the table.

Also it would be hilarious if the included SC. A good portion of the fanbase would be triggered.

I think I've seen the NC flag in NCSU, Duke, UNC, and ECU colors downtown in the variety of beer festivals I've been to, so its not unheard of to do that. I've also seen numerous NC flags with the confederate battle flag taking the place of the white and red regions pretty much every time I've been to a tailgate at a State or Canes game. So... I think there are certainly ways around it.

There are always going to be bootleg versions and whatnot. American flag beach towels with a big pot leaf in the middle, etc.

Putting it on a uniform for an organization that “represents” the state is different. The elements of the flag are codified, and people sensitive to decorum are likely to be opposed to changing the colors.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The solution is to use elements of the flag, not the entirety of it. The red and white stripes work well with the color scheme of the jersey, but the rest looks so badly out of place that's it's hard to believe that they're going to force it in there.
