darksabre Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm interested to see who they pick up as free agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 The draft order was determined by lottery with Beauts drafting fourth in every round. The order should have been changed with each successive round having another team draft first. For example the second round should have been BUF, BOS, CT then NY. Sarah Lefort will be FINE.

Huckleberry Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 A little hint of the old Bisons logo in that Beauts logo, no? Maybe could have called them the buffalo cows *runs away* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 And a sword, too. It's a smart move to try to link them to the local teams. It'd be nice if they could work some blue and gold in there at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sooo I decided to whip up a few designs- the NWHL was holding a design contest for their uniforms - http://nwhl.co/design-contest/ So here's the four I threw together. Room for improvement, but I just wanted to have some fun. The logos- well, I'd redo a few of them haha The contest ends Friday- If I've got time, I've got some other ideas I'd like to try out including away variations and more with the buffalo one- I'd love to add some deep red (throwback to the goat) or the royal blue. I figured even if they don't pick any of mine, maybe someone will be impressed enough to look at my site and.... wishful thinking. Black and yellow have always been my fav colors. Too bad Boston sucks. incorporated some of the sabre's swoop- tried to avoid penguin and jailbird. See the harpoon/anchor on the sleeve? Yeah, maybe it's a bit morbid but... Ugh. It is tough to design star spangled and not go either union jack or rocket pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Seems a little busy in my opinion, the other 3 have a sleek design. They must have bought those jerseys from the Hartford AHL team when they changed their name to the Whale for a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Are the Beauts' colors, in fact, b&w? The Pride design is the one I like best out of the 4. I like the obvi Bruins tie-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tough to design star spangled and not go either union jack or rocket pop. Those look awesome, Jo. I love that gold on the Boston one. I did some of these, too, just for kicks. They aren't in Josie's stratosphere, but I love uniforms. Beauts: My least favorite of the three I've done. Tried to incorporate the edge of the sword in to some spots, not sure it turned out great. Its ok, but I'm also sad with the black and white. I think on ice it just doesn't pop out at all. Oh well. New York Riveters: Much better. Kinda did a similar thing to Josie with the riveted look, but went a little crazy, and a little more literal with it. Looking at it now I wish I had made the home socks or shorts red instead of blue. Oh well. Connecticut Whale: This ones a little silly, but I like it. Front and back is a whale's tail popping out of the water, and stuck with the water motif for the legs. I'm apparently a very literal person. I haven't done one for Boston, and I probably won't get to it before its "due". Now I can't get Jo's look out my head now anyways, so its probably just as well before I just copy it, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sarah Lefort will be FINE. Both Buffalo teams attaching their future to the backs of BU players.

I think there's a ton of other options that are much more prestigious. But we'll get used to it.

That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Those tweets are pure BS. I agree. They picked Beauts because it is a Women's team. Of course the fact that they're ladies factored into the decision. If a women's league wants to leverage that girl angle, take control of it, and re-purpose it to get some exposure, then I'm all for it. And I don't know that the boys have standing to sniff at their choice to do that. Unless, of course, you're, like, more of a feminist than anyone in that league is. Which is possible, I suppose (?). Or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Smell, maybe I should explain why I said they are BS. Those tweets come across as complete ramblings. They're just making stuff up. You basically hinted at that with your blue collar comments. They picked a bad name and now they're spinning their tires trying to explain it.

They may've chosen poorly -- too much of an inside joke for the general public -- but I think they intentionally chose the name with an idea of it being a play on words of sorts. I still don't like the name. I'm not a huge fan, either - but I give them credit for taking a risk with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 RIT Hockey standout Erin Zach signed with Buffalo today. http://nwhl.co/skeats-and-zach-sign-after-toronto-camp/ Forward Erin Zach played for the RIT Tigers until she graduated in 2014. Over her collegiate career, Zach scored 74 points (30g, 44a) in 121 games, including five shorthanded goals, enough to place her at fifth all-time in RIT's record book. Zach was a member of the Tigers team that won the 2014 College Hockey America (CHA) Championship versus Mercyhurst in second overtime.
