The Parliamentary Blues Rock

The Parliamentary Blues Rock was a song by a musical group known as the Prime Ministers . . . not true, it's all fictional. But the two concepts that give us the title are not. Phil is continuing his so far entertaining series and we do indeed find Ottawa and St. Louis in our midst.


This one is definitely different. This takes on a pre-modern MLS feel say before 2006 when more teams started to put sponsors over their chest instead of team logos. But I must say, the O needs to go, not that I don't love it. However, I always have to give props to Canadian Tire (the money, Sandy McTire, etc . . .). The only other thing that could use a touch up is the font - it's a computer font and not one meant for jerseys of any kind.


Well now, this one could work very well. In fact I think that the pinstriping is the best part. The collar helps add a little more color too. We have run into a small couple setbacks. The not looking part of the number six is a little bit too far extended and the six and zero do not have their spaces where they need to be - and that is problematic.The socks are almost en point, but the blue stripes should be slightly thicker for good measure.

Considering the second game of this Stanley Cup Final is afoot (tomorrow), we should be preparing ourselves for it. That's what the above is somewhat supposed to be and tomorrow's post to go along with it. Then there's the NBA's Finals (game two) on Sunday. But I don't know how many have as much interest in that - after all, Lord Stanley's Cup is the hardest trophy in North American sports.
