Stadium Series: NYC (24-7-365)

As I back jockey for my dad for a New Year's Eve party later, who needs help with his updated music library, I will be doing what I do best - write and draw on index cards and roll non-six-sided dice to re-write the history of various sports leagues. In the mean time, New York should be a pretty hip happening place as the new ball will drop at midnight. I'd rather do what I did here and give a go at the Stadium Series jerseys for the games in the Bronx.


The Rangers are the visiting team for both games. I think that the Devils should because they are out of state compared to the others.  Anyway, all three teams have had something from the past reappear on their jersey in some way. What a good way to start with "Lady Liberty." You may recall that I added her to a new set for the Rangers towards the middle of the summer.This is similar to the red alternate I included in it.The Islanders not only have the "championship stripes" on the arms, but it also includes a new aluminum silver outline within the limits of the logo (an idea taken from the Sabres). The championship stripes can be the intended white and orange or the possible navy and white. Finally, New Jersey has its forest green again, but the black hasn't left either. While it's not on the jersey, it still plays an important role as the color of the pants to break up that overly flamboyant color scheme (the red more than the white or forest green) for the pants. Who wears white pants anyway, how about white skates (other than a team owned by Charlie O. Finley)?  Well that pretty much covers everyone. While it's no my mind, I am in the middle of bidding for a blank Lady Liberty jersey, which I mad the opening minimum bid of $50 (USD) and am hoping will stay put (yeah, right).

Speaking of New York, neither football coach at Metlife Stadium will be losing their jobs this year, asbothe have been retained for at least one more season. Dan Coughlin will stay with the Giants, while Rex Ryan's remarks about his potential firing are now false. Elsewhere in the world, If anyone reading is interested in taking ownership of a team, there is a team for sale in HCI's Hockey League. A GM or Director of Hockey Operations positions are aavailable. Both are the same except the GM will need to run a team website/social media and create the team uniforms. DHOs can do that too, but it is not required. I highly suggest you check them out. In the mean time, we'll see you next year!
