Rumor: If the Coyotes Relocate, Will You Remain a Fan?

THIs is a beautiful kit

Ugh. That looks like the Montreal Forum ice from the 1970s became a hockey player.

If it’s Yetis then yeah, powder blue/navy/white/grey is what I’d like to see. Could look awesome if they nail the logo and don’t make it corny looking. If it’s Venom then a copper burnt orange kind of color with tan and black would look good. Could even bring in a touch of maroon or dark green with it too…

It really opens the door to unlimited possibilities

Utah Phoenix.......rising from the ashes.

On a serious note if Bill doesn't use draft capital In big way to imprive defence at minimum the team is really risking getting off to very bad start in SLC. Despite a few nice wins lately this is a poorly built team that can only win when the other team doesn't play their best. You won't create a fanbase like that.

 

[Grimes]

Really like the idea of burnt orange gradient. Kind of like the Jazz kits. I guess red/orange is similar to the Flames but if done right I think it could be really unique

I don't think it matters in season 1. They're almost assured to play better than this year just by following course. There isn't really an expectation beyond really playing competitive games and pushing for the playoffs at best.

You get the novelty effect to market off for the first seasons regardless of play. After 1 or 2 they need to segue into competitiveness, but that's how the team is being built already, so that plan is probably already in place.

Also, I'd prefer an apian theme with a honeycomb motif for the trim/piping where the Coyotes have the Navajo pattern going on now. That pattern also sometimes reminds me of Space Invaders.

I agree. It's what they do in the few years after year one that will matter most.

Edit: And it seems like BA has years of excitement in the pipeline built up for this team.

If new fans turn up to a sub standard product the interest in seeing years 2, 3, etc will be less. It's why the NHL really changed the entry draft to give teams a better team off the hop.

Why are you still trolling in these boards? It's an honest question

Not trolling anything. Bill had a long term plan in AZ in a small arena. That plan should change based on larger Arena and new fanbase. You can look back at my correct posts of the past months whenever you wish to but look back and tell me where I was incorrect at your own peril. A team with almost no NHL d men is highly unlikely to compete and compete they must in new home.

Taking a page out of your book, why are you more worried about questioning the messenger than disproving the message?

Color scheme, I hope we avoid red and dark blue. More than half the league is those colors.

Not black because it looks horrible on TV (dark kachina).

I thought maybe purple but unlikely with Avs right next door.

Still leaning toward powder blue. No one else uses it on a regular basis.

I want copper. Hell, we should pretty much steal the Arizona Rattlers identity. I’d love to see some copper helmets, fighting Irish style. (I know those are gold)

 

[Hasbro]

Sorry to see you go. Your fan base impressed HF Avs during the bubble series.

You had to put up with too much shot from bad ownership and gatekeepers of the sport.

Cool site with a bunch of different templates to build a jersey kit.

Here is what I came up with. I'd love to make the lines at the bottom be shaped like mountains, and also find a way to work in text of YETI on the home jersey and UTAH on the away jersey. Dunno what the shoulder patch should be.

 

[Hasbro]

I think part of the thinking with Utah is it just represents the whole state.



This is very Everett Silvertips

I think Grizzlies is okay but it feels like a knock off version of the Bruins. Also need to get the name from the ECHL team first.

My uncle scouted for oil companies and he joked they filmed the moon landing there.

He had rule traveling in rural sections: if his car got to half a tank he'd turn around, because he knew he had enough gas to get back to the last place he was, but who knew if there was anything in front of him.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

I'm reserving the right to fully declare my allegiances until after June 27. But after a few days to grieve and sort my thoughts, here's where I am.

If AM succeeds in showing up and actually winning the auction (I have serious doubts that he will), I'll spend the next 3-5 seasons cheering for the Sabres just like when I was a little kid in Buffalo. Then come 2027 or whenever expansion comes, I'm -all the f*** in- for Phoenix Coyotes 2.0/Firebirds (yes please, would love this name)/Roadrunners. Same goes for Phoenix expansion should it ever come via the Ishbia or another owner route.

If he fails, I'll be a Sabres fan first (just as mentioned above) and a bittersweet satellite Utah fan second. I really loved the Cooley/Guenther/Doan core here, and if that's all we ever get left, I'll be rooting for them to succeed.

He would get along with PHNX Petey.

 

[Mosby]

Not a serious suggestion, just f***ing around with the design tool. The name is kinda catchy with Utah though.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Dunno what the shoulder patch should be.

 

[Mosby]

Maybe something like this for the shoulder

 

[The Feckless Puck]

I'll bet you 10 bucks that the shoulder patch will be a beehive, no matter what the rest of the kit is.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Big fan of Florida's shoulder patches

There is zero chance Jeremy Jacobs and the Boston Bruins allow for a bear logo.

I do wonder if there would be a challenge to the Yeti name because the coffee mug company likely has some sort of trademark.


Cool thing the Jazz do that I hope the hockey team copies:

For each win, the team covers the cost of a university scholarship for a local student. So if they win 40 games in a season, the team pays for 40 students' university tuition.

Do the bruins even use a bear logo anymore? When was the last time they did?

I hope so. Lol.
