Whaling, Whaling Over the River Blue

Friday became the day for the keyword XL. Not meaning the roman numeral 40 or the shirt size, but the center which might be in it's final season of use for anything. That comes with the current HJC contest which I decided to take more time with. Also I am leaving for home today so I can be present to celebrate a surprise party for someone - details on Sunday.



I have decided to take multiple Whalers teams and incorporate them - except for Pucky the Whale (the simplest of the three). Pucky was required to be used by guest writer Jets96 as at least a secondary logo on at least one jersey - so I did just that and nothing more. That is because I hate Pucky with a passion and subsequently why the other two logos were incorporated along with the familiar "Fin-tail" logo. The logo on the third jersey is taken and recolored form the OHL's Plymouth Whalers and the recolored home/road patch is the alternate of the Connecticut Whale of the AHL.

The basic design is taken from the final alternates used by Atlanta before moving to Winnipeg. The retro jersey now has a colored yoke as well as different colored striping with the same pattern from the original.it is also (obviously) "Edge-ified" by current Reebok standards.

I will soon be travelling home for the holiday weekend, so have a safe weekend if you will not have access to a computer during that time.
