excellent! there could actually be uniforms for this long-awaited pickup game. (rec’d.)

Yes, let’s make that game happen! Great job on the jersey as well.

Just as an update, I still intend to try to organize something…I’ve just been absolutely swamped with work and some personal stuff over the past couple of weeks, so I haven’t had a chance to call around to rinks. I hope to actually do that during the upcoming week and will make a fanpost when I do.

(and I’m glad it’s now that I’m swamped with work and not during the season when I might miss something!)

Appreciate the update. You might be running into more difficulty because adult and youth leagues start up in a few weeks, so ice time will be more limited and not sure if that will also affect anyone coming out for this. Hopefully it will all come together smoothly.

The jersey — pretty cool. I like that you didn’t cop out and just slap something onto a Caps jersey and played around a bit. Template reminds me of Hartford Wolfpack, which I’m cool with.

Perhaps a shoulder patch should just say Japers’ Rink?

If everybody was willing to pay, that would be a possibility. I made the jersey on a website that creates jerseys for teams. I didnt get a quote though… should I?

I think so. I won’t play (not a good enough skater) but I’d still be likely to come watch and buy one of these.

Yeah you could even do that or just let them keep the logo available for other customers. The one off ordering isn’t usually anymore than a big bulk thing and then you don’t need to worry about being responsible for collecting money. People could just order them themselves.

by zephyr on Aug 14, 2009 6:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Some sites, if you request a quote, will send you an email asking you what’s up and what not. I’d be willing to get one, and I’m finally working out/eating better, so the longer it takes to get the game together, the more in shape I’ll be.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

Hear hear :) I;m working on my skating as well.

I like it. I’m not fond of the shoulder patches but the main logo and stripes are great.

I think the overlapped double Rs just don’t work in this font. Maybe we could use JP’s avatar there instead. :)

by CapitalCentre on Aug 14, 2009 3:44 PM EDT reply actions  

His head might explode if we do that.

by zephyr on Aug 14, 2009 4:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

We could go crazy, and use our own avatars as our own shoulder patches :O

Regardless, would we all have to claim numbers? Safe to assume 5, 7, 11, and 32 are retired? :3

Good question on the numbers. Maybe go by Japers’ Rink join date? =]

And I would say no number is out of play except 99. Hunter never played for the Rink Rats.

If you need a goalie, let me know ;)

Definitely red. The logo wouldnt work on a blue background

by amkcaps on Aug 16, 2009 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Could make the logo white if you really wanted a blue background. But red is better anyway.

In terms of anybody wanting to buy a jersey…. I think the only way we could do this if it was in bulk. So if anybody is interested I would need to get an email from you. I typed in all of the specifications on the website, and after everything it is going to be around $70. I need a minimum of 10 people to 100% confirm before we can discuss actually buying the jerseys. Unfortunately, this means no avatars for patches, and no join dates for numbers. It just wouldnt work out. But if anybody is interested in buying a jerseys send me an email at amkcaps@aol.com

by amkcaps on Aug 16, 2009 5:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Would that be 10 people for each color (home red and away white)?

by CapitalCentre on Aug 16, 2009 7:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

I didnt even think about the home red, I was just going to go for the white. If its also the home red it will be almost $150 each. And it might not be exactley the same jersey style because the website doesnt have a red with the same pattern

When would the order go down? I know most sites charge a little extra for numbers, and as dumb as I sound, I don’t think I’d want one without a number, but I’d probably go for one of each.

by Whiter Mage on Aug 16, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t think wanting to have a number is dumb. I’ll buy one, but only if we are for-real-set-in-stone having a pick-up game.

by bigmac1124 on Aug 16, 2009 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

My quote was with numbers on the back and shoulders, and a name, and the front logo with two smaller logos on the shoulders. Im not sure when I would order, I first need to get at least 10 takers. Then we can discuss an actual date

Fehr is fair, but I like Laich

by amkcaps on Aug 17, 2009 10:18 AM EDT up reply actions  

I meant join dates for as who gets dibs on picking a number.

by zephyr on Aug 17, 2009 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

And I have about 100 jerseys so I dunno if I’m in on this. I’ll think about it.

by zephyr on Aug 17, 2009 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

honestly, the only way i can see it being worthwhile to lay down this kinda cash is if you guys all join a league together.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
