Man, would like to see Sid in a Flames jersey.  Imagine him and Iggy together, now that would be sweet.

*splashes cold water on his face*

Oh well.

Regarding the “Pass or Fail”, yeah it’s a fail

Well, if they wear the jersey to actual games, then yes… but i think these are just in jest - to be fun.

Now now… if someone puts their blogger-name on a jersey, then THAT, my friend, is foul…

Doh! Guilty as charged…

Well, sid and iggy wouldn’t play together unless on powerplay… they are both centers and wouldnt really be more dynamic and explosive than crosby and malkin already are.

Iggy does take face-offs from time-to-time, but he plays right wing.

I think it’s fine for beer-league hockey. Especially Upper C-league. It’s all fun and not serious at that point.

I think it’d be a pass.. but only if you get a player who actually played whichever position you’re playing for the most part… don’t take a blue liner if you play offense..

My vote is that all bets are off when it comes to Beer League. The more tricked up, the better. It’s supposed to be about having a good time, first. Wacky nicknames, team names, whatever.

I played with a good sized guy who happened to be a seismologist who had “ICEQUAKE” as his name. I use “KICKSAVE” even though I am now playing defense.

It’s all good. Just be original. (No “COLT” with the number 45.)

Agreed on the wacky names; back years ago there was a team I played against called the Porn All-Stars, complete with a blow-up doll that they propped up on the bench as their “coach”.

In my book, just about anything is OK in beer-league jerseys—where I first saw a sideways ‘8’ used for infiniti. The traditional “Tripod” and “Sieve” etc. nameplates are always a nice touch.

Thats a foul. Its embarassing, no matter what league. The better quality hockey, themore embarrassing. Having the number 69 on your jersey is pushing the limit but acceptable, anything more is a foul. What is not allowed: the number 99; names other than your own, unless it is a foreign jersey in another language, or someone elses jersey (if it is pick-up and not a league, anything goes of course, except the number 99); pick jerseys are not allowed; different color socks are not allowed unless you are just a mess and that is your nature; insideout jerseys are allowed if it is someone elses jersey or one of your jerseys from a yeam you used to represent; pulling your socks over the back of your skates is not allowed; tinted visors are not allowed unless you get paid to play hockey AND are the best sniper in the league; and you can only wear a ‘Gilligan’ hat with Canadian flags on it and use two stick at once if you are Ovechkin.

Bad idea. Don’t mess with karma! I say leave the names and numbers together as they are. Anything else is just lame. Did anyone take gretzky?
