Tribute What will the Rangers do for their 100th birthday?

[Kane One]

I know we’re a few years away, but I just remembered that Toronto and Montreal wore throwback jerseys in their 100th anniversary. I want to say Montreal wore every previous jersey in their history that season, but I could be wrong.

What will the Rangers do? Bring the heritage jersey back? There’s also a bunch of slight jersey moderations the Rangers made throughout their history so it would be cool if they wear all of them.

100th season is coming up. Then 100th anniversary

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Throwback jerseys, maybe retiring the numbers of a couple of guys from the old days who deserved the honor and never got it.

 

[CasusBelli]

Jerseys with original logo and color scheme to match (navy instead of blue; darker red):

Perhaps a compilation of greatest moments in NYR history shown on the jumbotron during the home opener

 

[FoxyClean]

They'll have to pay homage to all 6 Cup winning teams somehow.

 

[Ruggs225]

Win the Stanley Cup? I hope that

Didn't they only have 4?

 

[Greg02]

I hope they do something for Bill Cook, Frank Boucher, and Ching Johnson. It's long overdue.

It really is. People don't understand... this team won three Stanley Cups in its first 14 years of existence. That was a hell of an accomplishment, even in that era. And it killed the NY Americans.

I'm going to double down on this too. Even amongst people that know about Cook and Boucher and think it's a travesty-- how many of them know about Ching Johnson? Two cups, four consecutive all star teams, and a single vote away from winning a Hart over Howie Morenz. He has a very legitimate case as the second greatest Rangers defenseman of all time over Brad Park, in my opinion. If you tell me that five percent of knowledgeable Rangers fans can name a thing about him, I'm calling bullshit.

The point is that we'll have 6 by then

Have honestly never heard the name Ching Johnson in my life but it looks like he was the 1930s Girardi/Lindgren?

 

[JRinNYC]

I assume they'll have logo with the 100 in it. They'll have a patch of it and will also have center ice painted just like the 75, 85 anniversary and 90th anniversary. I kinda wished they had a 95 year patch.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

My expectations are a low because this org has always proven they rather do the bare minimum and just mail it in.

However, the Bruins this season have really set the bar for what to expect for a centennial.

- Special anniversary logo
- 3 new jerseys worn throughout the season
- Rafters reunion nights
- Era nights
- A Heritage Hall of Fame in the arena
- 100 days of hockey community outreach campaign
- Announcing a centennial team
- Commemorative books
- A four-part documentary focusing on the history of the team

Anything less than this, will be a disappointment. So I am already preparing to be disappointed.

If they hit like Beukeboom and won Norris awards and cups, yeah.

So it would be just like this (but that leaflet needs to be updated with Fox and the Hughes brothers)

 

[nyr2k2]

$100 hotdogs

 

[will1066]

Bring in all living coaches, including the most recent and currently-unemployed ones obviously.

Between you and @will1066, my love of silly 1980s slapstick comedies is fully validated.

Count me among those

 

[Guyute]

Create yet another heritage/3rd jersey that Jim Dolan is happy to sell to ewe

Hey, at least we wouldn't be waiting too long for the game to start!

Probably about the same thing they did for Lundqvist's birthday on twitter a few years back.
