Pre-Game Talk: Playoff Avatars

[Machinehead]

Knew it would be that boring idea

You're right, we should go with the very adaptable theme of *checks notes* Matt Rempe.

Literally just a pic of his face, simple yet effective

But then there will be so many typos when you post on HF because you'll only be using one hand.

Maybe my imagination isn't what it used to be but I'm legit not seeing how we can make it both adaptable AND relevant. Do we use similar sounding names, or identical name / last names? If so I'm trying to figure out how Michael J Fox / Adam Fox no relation could highlight any hockey aspect. Unless we use other hockey player that we don't like.

I guess we can come up with something that's hockey related and rhymes with Adam Fox and is hockey related.

It just seems difficult.

I’d say we should all just rock Rempe’s portrait but who knows if he’ll play. Maybe regardless.

Yea I had similar thoughts.

Rempe is one of the biggest storylines in the league this season and absolutely drives other fans mad, I for one want to embrace the villain thing for once and have something that annoys other fans while being funny.

There are a lot of themes you could have with Rempe too, King Kong/Empire State Building theme and have him grabbing opposing players in his hands/mascots of other teams; Rempire Strikes Back... could have pictures of star players from other teams being injured and Rempe waving bye to them etc there's a lot you could do

Or even just a simple headshot portrait would be pretty comical and other teams fans would be annoyed scrolling HF and seeing this guys face over and over everywhere they go like they can't escape.

If we play Washington (which we're projected to rn) we could use that "Rent Free' Wilson photoshop they posted and make a Rempe version lol

I support something surrounding Adam Fox, but I don’t have any clever ideas lol

When has it ever mattered to Sam that the names actually sound similar?

What is the playoff avatar is it supposed to like troll the other team

Considering you could play up to 4 teams in the playoffs not a particular team no. It could be trollish in general though.

I don't have a lot of image editing skills (I actually did these in a video editor and then just screen shot them, haha), but this could be a nice nod to Laffy's secret weapon:

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Rempe 100000%

 

[Machinehead]

I haven't added the playoff logo yet but this is the concept

 

[Machinehead]

And here's the thing

-I'm about to blow your minds with this-

YOU COULD PUT REMPE *IN* THESE IF YOU WANT TO

I like it! Cropping the images to the shield shape would be cool too and something I could do easily if we want

Yeah if we could do just the shield, that would be even better.

I got one.

This picture, with a caption of "Random Schmucks", with the Hurricanes logo as the "o". Then a picture of Adam Fox with a caption of "Adam Fox". And then no relation.

No, it’s the playoff beard of a hockey forum. Matching avatar theme to get hype about the playoffs.

 

[Kane One]

Yeah I second the No Relation theme.

 

[Chytilmania]

Fast shoots and a glove save by Quick! No relation!
