Seasons Greetings and a Happy New NLL Season!

Today, I would like to spend the first part of the blog to wishes our best wishes to all of our friends celebrating Hanukkah festivities over the next week or so. The holiday begins at sundown tonight.

In the mean time were five weeks away from lacrosse time! That mean's it is time to start rolling out the new jerseys. The Toronto Rock are expecting a retro third jersey and the Buffalo Bandits are getting a complete (kind-of) jersey makeover. The Bandits will show one week from today at the second and final open practice, whereas the Rock will show on Tuesday. Expect pictures for posting the day after each. Today I will guess what the Rock May feature, and the Bandits the same tomorrow.

There are four to eight games allowed to wear an alternate jersey in the NLL. The potential schedule for those will follow the concept.


Sat 12 JAN 2013 @ Calgary Roughnecks-CGY
Sat 19 JAN 2013 vs. Philadelphia Wings-PHI
Sat 26 JAN 2013 @ Rochester Knighthawks-ROC
Sat 2 FEB 2013 @ Buffalo Bandits-BUF
Thurs 28 FEB 2013 vs. Buffalo Bandits-BUF
Fri 8 MAR 2013 vs. Colorado Mammoth-COL
Sat 16 MAR 2013 @ Philadelphia Wings-PHI
Sat 30 MAR 2013 vs. Rochester Knighthawks-ROC

The games are with a purpose, In this case, it would work out with four home and road games. The Rock have played all teams above with the original jersey (c. 1999). The fact that BUF, ROC, and PHI are in the division, this trumps playing against a "new" team home or away. Use in CGY is because of the fact that COL only play the Rock once which happens to be in Toronto and therefore worn in CGY only. COL, even though they haven't played the Rock with these, they were in Baltimore (1999) and Pittsburgh (2000) before the second generation of Rock jerseys cam into place against the Washington Power (2001-02).

Well, tomorrow's unveiling of my Bandits concept is now officially underway.
