ECAC Hockey 10/25

[Al DeFlorio]

I couldn't find a rear view of the jersey except for during the game, but the only thing that was really visible there while the players were moving was the word "Engineers". Truly an awful jersey. Note also that the stars at the top of the stockings match the ones at the bottom of the jersey sleeves.

I don't usually have much positive to say about Schafer, but if he is responsible for Cornell keeping the historical jersey design, he has my praise for that.

Even the ridiculous Puckman was better than this.::moon::

Ken Schott reports that Alex Dell will officiate his last game 11/16.

The crowns and blue stripes and all that garbage are the point: reflecting all the coat of arms elements in the sweater.

Right, I got that, but I think it's over the top to have the crest in its entirety on the chest and shoulders, and then in addition to that repeat individual elements of the crest on their own elsewhere.  It's loud and ugly.

If you wanted to do something similar with a Cornell jersey (I don't, but for the sake of argument), you could keep the jersey red, put the book with the motto on the chest, the two smaller shields on the shoulders...  if you wanted to go crazy you could even make the yoke gold, print "Cornell University Founded By Ezra Cornell" around the collar, and use the silver in place of the traditional red around the sleeves and hem.  We would all hate it, but it wouldn't be eye-searing like this.

Edit: I made a horrible amateurish mockup using MSPaint.

Maybe the book could read "Dream-crushing Soul-devouring Juggernaut."::banana::

Well, isn't this a one-off jersey? They wore them last night, and that's it. It's not like you have to see them on the ice ever again. And if they were auctioned off for charity, then that's good for a charity.  For historical reference, here's a gallery of the previous versions. And yes, these are the worst by a mile.

Quick question: Is RPI wearing these uniforms this year? My visit to their website is the first I've seen these: http://www.rpiathletics.com/images/2013/10/15/rp_primary_Curadi4.jpg

You can give credit to his predessesor Brian McCutcheon for returning to the old jerseys after several seasons away from them.  Cornell has done one-off special auction-jersey nights.  One was a Block C with a central white stripe, one was a 1970 replica (I think), and a pink-the-rink version.  Then there was that year that Nike gave us the Swift jerseys for the Florida tournament where all the stripings were vertical. *shudder*

Yes, those are RPI's regular home jerseys this year. The road jerseys are similar to those in the recent past although not identical.

So is the strategy to score a goal or two at the start of the game while the opposing team is still laughing? ::wow::
