MERCHANDISE

[DatBoyJPP]

A good April Fools joke would have been to announce that playoff tickets were now on sale

That's an interesting take on humor but ok

 

[SeidoN]

someone called the fun police

 

[SKNJD9]

[Balance]

It's a good joke

 

[OmNomNom]

if they sell merch i might buy a hat for the hell heaven of it

it's a funny tagline they have at the bottom of the page though,

See the New Jersey Devils for the last time April 5‑9 during
FAN APPRECIATION WEEK

I swear I was gonna do a confirmed with link April Fool's joke that we had given out extensions to Ruutu, Tootoo and Gionta for next year.

I love to have fun. This was a weak attempt at humor. Good April Fools jokes, which is pretty much an oxymoron, have to be believable and this gets a giant F in that category.

I've always heard that there are religious groups that sent hate mail to the state and the team asking to change their name... So because of that this is funny.

 

[Ripshot 43]

I hate you all

There's funny, and then there's just straight up cruel

 

[Emperoreddy]

Well done team!

 

[Devils Dominion]

Great job by NJ and the marketing folks.

Funny stuff!

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

I didn't fall for it, but I don't see anything wrong with the team's social media having a bit of fun for the day, and humor is subjective, so I don't expect that everyone will find it funny or worthwhile, but, whatever, the team is in the entertainment industry. Let them have their fun. Everything will be back to normal tomorrow.

I find the Hurricanes name offensive.
Those storms kill and destroy.

Agreed...I think it's funny. Not laugh out loud funny but nod of approval funny

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think the only people supposed to find April Fool's Jokes funny are the ones making the joke.

as a scotsman im not too keen on the Kings

and as a scottish Devils fan im just dual-programmed to hate the Queen

I believe they changed their name to just the Rays because of that. That was many years ago though, before I lived here.

Didn't the NBA team change their name from the Bullets to Wizards because of the word bullet?
