On ice, volume 3 – a Leo world special

Good Tuesday morning, uni -observer. I hope you had a good Monday.

I have been back on this beautiful day with the only Leo Strawn, Jr. in the past two weeks. Leo turned his attention to ice hockey (volume 1 and volume 2) with a few great old time hockey typosts. This is a a little New, but still old. Old and gold, that is,.

And now, here is Leo with …

On ice, volume 3
By Leo Strawn, Jr.

I am Leo … welcome to my world!

Continued with the NHL …

When the Americans left the NHL ice cream in Brooklyn (FKA New York) in 1942, the “Original Six” Ara was born.

The league remained until the great western expansion of 1967 after the 50th season of the NHL. It was a brave step of the NHL because it doubled the size of the league for a fall. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and St. Louis were again NHL cities and were accompanied by the California Seals, La Kings and Minnesota North Stars.

The NHL seal wore sweaters at least once in the previous season in 1967. Sorry because it is difficult to see details in the screenshot and photo, but the logo on the front of the sweater looked similar to this jersey design and influenced the prototype modeled by Gerry Odrowski on the far right.

Before the calendar year ended, the Seals changed the location section of their name in Oakland in the middle of their first NHL season, as the team pulled badly in the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena. This was done in the hope that fans from the east side of the bay would take more. The name change did not help. In retrospect, the owner should probably have continued to play over the bay in the cow palace, where the WHL California (FKA San Francisco) played seals and were well supported. Of course, the Jersey logo had to be changed with a name change from California and a sweater logo with a “C” to an “O” for Oakland.

This was not the only change in the first season among the expansion clubs. The North Stars logo, which can be seen on the 1967 hockey image magazine, was not her first logo.

Re pittsburgh: I know the reason for switching to black and gold, but I still think that the Eisblue & Black color scheme was a better choice and representative of a team called Penguins. Incidentally, this type on the right also sold a pretty good living with coffee and donuts. Tragically, the day after playing his last game for the Sabres in Toronto on February 21, 1974, 10 years after the opening of the original Tim Horton shop in Hamilton, he was killed in a car accident when he was opened in Hamilton. He played with Pittsburgh for a single season 1971-72.

Back from west, when Charlie O. bought the Seals franchise before the 1970/71 season, it became strange in the hockey fashion world. At first, however, another name was changed by the Bay Area Robben. It didn't take long and they played their first season under Finley than the California Golden Seals, the fourth name of the franchise in the first four seasons.

Adding the word “golden” is self -explanatory. The colors were changed by green, white and blue to Charlie's characteristic green and gold.

Ol 'Charlie wanted to steal the grip in hockey as he did in baseball. So the white skate experiment was born. But how his orange baseball experiment died quickly.

The next wave of expansion in 1970 brought Franchise companies to Buffalo and Vancouver. Since Finley changes the color scheme of his newly bought franchise in green and gold, the Canucks debut in blue, green and white after the Seals no longer used it.

With the advent of the WHA and the resulting salaries, which opposite the success of athletics, Finley finally had enough hockey after three seasons and sold the franchise back to the league.

Finley did not lead to the change in the hockey fashion as in baseball. Then the NHL did this with the appearance of California. Pooh.

This team went to Cleveland two seasons later to become the Barone, and proudly wore the form of the Buckeye State in her uniforms. The Barone then merge two seasons with the Nordstern and a return to Charlie's vision of green and gold.

Coming up: We will continue to go to WHA.

Until then…

Cheers!

Thank you, Leo – that was another great. Like Leo, I am fully aware of why the penguins correspond to the colors of the Pittsburgh flag and their compatriots in baseball and football, but I wish they had remained double blue. And who loved this wedding dress knows, Fort Knox Gold and Kelly Green Clod Robben? Still one of the top color combinations in all sports.

Reader? What do you say

Probably from the scoreboard from the game

Rate the game …

… from the scoreboard

Today's scoreboard comes from Preston Skyler.

The premise of the game (GTGFTS) is simple: I will publish a scoreboard and simply identify the game shown. In the past I don't know if I always You have completely amazed them (some are easier than others).

Here is the scoreboard. Try to identify the game (date and place as well as the end result) in the comments below. If something remarkable occurred during the game, please add this (and if you were in the game, bonus points for you!):

Please send them on! You are welcome to send me all the display panel photos (please answer), and I will continue to do it.

Probably the game from the uniform

Based on the proposal of a long -time reader/participant Jimmy CorcoranWe have introduced a new “game” at the University of Watch, which resembles the popular “the game from the scoreboard” (GTGFTS). Only this has asked readers to identify the game based on the uniforms carried by teams.

Like gtgfts, readers are asked to guess the date, place and end result of the game from the information provided in the photo. Sometimes the game should Be easy to determine, while in other cases it could be quite difficult. It will normally Be a visual note (something strange or unique for one or both uniforms), which enables positive identification of one and only one game. In other cases, the game in question can be somewhat meaning, like the last time that a certain uniform has ever been worn (one of Jimmy's original suggestions). It is up to you to find out the game and the date.

Today's GtgtU comes from Spire petropoulos.

Good luck and please post your guess/answer in the comments below.

And finally …

… that's all for the morning Lede. My thanks, as always, for Mr. Strawn for another large Leo world. I am definitely looking forward to the WHA!

Take a look today because I have the always popular question of the week of the week in addition to some other articles.

Everyone has a good Tuesday and I'll get you back here tomorrow.

Peace,
