-IBForums +--Forum: Aeros/AHL Talk +---Topic: Thank You Aeros' Management ... started by Mitch Posted by: Mitch Apr 14 2006, 10:26 PM for bringing back the bomber for tonight's game. I hope you will keep those jerseys, I liked them! Posted by: aeropanzer Apr 14 2006, 10:43 PM ditto-ditto---ditto etc., etc., etc. They looked so great in the jerseys! Posted by: Snikpip Apr 15 2006, 12:16 AM Crazy Jim said that at least 3 of the players commented on how much they liked them and would like to use them throughout the playoffs. And maybe, just maybe, we'll be seeing A LOT more of them in the future. B) Also, they MAY be available in another auction. Not completely sure. Just what I've heard. Jim did a good job on those, didn't he?? Edited by Snikpip on Apr 15 2006, 01:17 AM Posted by: mrfred Apr 15 2006, 04:07 AM They did indeed look good! So ... wonder what the big announcement will be on Tuesday? :) BTW, TY Aeros front office for a GREAT retro night. Music, jersey's, video awesome job! I love the Roche - Mission Possible video and the fight were awesome. Makes me really miss Walters again! I might have to break out his game worn! :) Posted by: ceber Apr 15 2006, 08:28 AM I'm surprised it took that freakin' long. I couldn't tell from the pics on the aeros.com site, but did they also improve the lettering/numbers? None of my business really all the way up in MN, but I thought those new jerseys were just flat out ugly. To be honest, I think new logo could have worked (although the old one is significantly better) ; the rest of the design and the lettering (good lord, the lettering... :blink:) was just plain bad if you ask me. Posted by: John Shaw Apr 15 2006, 08:33 AM Finally got our old Jersey back. What a great feeling to look at ice and see the old logo back. Please keep it for playoff's and next year. :rolleyes: Posted by: mrfred Apr 15 2006, 09:04 AM ------------ QUOTE ---------- Finally got our old Jersey back.

It'll have to wait til I get home to get good ones. I'll try to get one up tonight but I don't have my photo editing software with me and prob no FTP program but I'll work on getting something up that will give you an idea of the jersey. Posted by: caltur0399 Apr 15 2006, 07:43 PM Appreciate it ! Posted by: mrfred Apr 15 2006, 07:50 PM Tell me if this looks ok ... Hard to tell. I've never calibrated the LCD on this laptop so the colors could be crap ... (IMAGE: http://mrfred.info/aeros/jww.jpg) Posted by: Tmackc Apr 15 2006, 08:15 PM I'm sorry but those are horrible! I liked the original bomber jerseys but the logo isnt enough to save that. I sure as hell hope they dont were those in the playoffs. Posted by: redvulcan500 Apr 15 2006, 08:19 PM I was happy with them, I just didn't like the fact the pants didn't match too well. :huh: Posted by: Elf Apr 15 2006, 08:32 PM ------------ QUOTE ---------- I was happy with them, I just didn't like the fact the pants didn't match too well. :huh: ----------------------------- If they become the new jersey they'll match the pants. I thought they were great. I love the blue and silver. Posted by: Snikpip Apr 15 2006, 10:04 PM Hell, I don't care if the damn things are purple and orange with a big-ass Charlie Brown zig-zag stripe on 'em. Seeing the old bomber back (even if it's only for a little while) is a good thing. You should be happy to see it AT ALL. Posted by: themonkeygirl Apr 17 2006, 10:22 AM The old bomber is the shiznit!!!! They should have never changed it!!!

In fact, I recall that I actually commented that I thought the old uniforms were too cartoonish for my taste. So, being my contrary self, I want to point out a few items that seem to have slipped between the cracks with this new found love affair some have for Aeros MSE management. First, they seem to have bastardized the old logo and uniforms. Meaning, as far as I can see, the new uniforms lacks any royal blue. The blue seems to be replaced with black. Second, the cartoonish piping (retro-1940’s) is totally missing. It has been replaced with some very haphazardly plain-Jane black and grey stripes. And third, the shoulder chevron (or whatever that stars-n-bars Airforce thingy was) is totally missing. Yes, the logo is back. And if I thought the old pre-MSE Aeros jerseys were bad, these jerseys are even worse. I thought that the old logo and uniforms got two things right. First, the old logo honored the WWII era veterans. And it was a cool looking theme. Second, in a weird way, the blue, green, and grey sorta worked excepting the piping and the shoulder emblem. If you are going to bastardize the old, at least improve it. And in my opinion, there was plenty of room for improvement. But this falls way short. So give the Aeros management credit if you must. But I think they deserve very little applause for a thrown together ploy to pull a few more dollars from your pockets. Thanks but no thanks…. CYA end |
