    and Whalers isn't lame?
586.2"Whalers" is worse!!AFW4::LACAVATue May 06 1997 22:077
    No..."Whalers" IS lame. I'm a Bruins fan so I don't care.  I just think
    they could have come up with something better. This abstract/natural
    disaster theme in sports is getting boring...  
    
    Looks like Vancouver, for some reason, is unveiling new uniforms for
    next year with...green/blue colors and a killer whale on the logo. 
    Sounds familiar...and lame!!

    Now we'll have the Kansas City Twisters and the Memphis Flood.
    
    Oh ya, and the Orlando Sink Holes.

    Dom,
    
    	I know you're too young to merember but Vancouver's
    original colors were blue/green/white   
    say what you want about the Whalers ineptitude but at least
    they were another NHL team in the NE area. hate to see Pro
    hockey leave New England.

586.5New England's always been a 1 pro hockey team area.....FABSIX::E_MAXWELLThe torture never stops...Fri May 09 1997 04:519
 Yeah, I merember those unis....merember how dull their original
emblem was? But atleast it was better than the BIG multi-colored
V on the chest...from shoulder to bottom of jersey to shoulder.
And what kind of comment is that about N.E. losing pro hockey??   
Are the Bruins leaving town?;-) Maybe you're right, they're not
quite the pro level are they?
