Signs for a Hockey Game

[junior 1]

Hey guys,

I'm going to the Leafs and Flames game on saturday with my GF. She is a flames fan and I'm a Leafs fan. I need ideas for a few good signs I can make and bring with me to the game. Any Ideas?

Don't be a sign person!

There are people behind you who want to see the game, not some sign blocking their ice view. Go to watch the game, not to get on TV or the jumbo-tron for 2 seconds.

If you want to do something distinctive, bring a serious hat and be prepared to throw it on the ice. Label said hat accordingly as the "Trick Hat" or something similar.

I, for one, am sick of all these chintzy baseball caps. I want to see another 10-gallon cowboy hat on the ice, or at least a bowler.

Agreed.

Or something like this. These never go out of style.

"my girlfriend has better taste in hockey teams"?

Thanks for the help guys. I have to be a sign person for this game, but it'll be a small, non obstructive sign. I'll post pics.

I like the Washington Redskins' approach to the issue: no signs for anyone. Nobody needs to bring a sign to a game. I can't decide which is worse: the sign people or the people that show up to the game, have no interest whatsoever, and spend the entire time getting up and coming back to their seat.

The worst is the douchebag on the cell phone that gets up every time play goes into his end of the ice. Once is bad enough, but if they didn't see your fat ass the first four times, the only way they're going to see you after that is at the funeral.

The Worst are the idiot freshman at CMU who show up to the first game of the year with a big sign, completely oblivious to the fact that the damn game isn't televised. Happens every year in the first two games, sometimes the third. Have no idea who these morons think is going to read the sign....

I always see those people on their phones and wonder "What the hell?"

Here you would be mauled, things/small domesticated animals would be thrown at you if you did that at a football game. Especially if Collingwood was playing.

When the Rangers won the cup, someone had a sign that said "now I can die in peace". That sign has become synonymous with the Rangers cup win. Pretty cool if your the guy who brought the sign. I suggest you hold off on the sign till the Leafs make the finals.

[Tailboard Jockey 25]

How about, "The Guy Behind Me Can't See"?

[MorePower4me 0]

^ Haha!

That one would be worth bringing!

:lol:

I have no ideas for you but being a Minnesotan I had a sign that appeared in Sports Illustrated the week Norm Green took the Stars to Dallas. Last game of the season against the Blackhawks (they ended up winning by 1 or 2), I brought a sign that had a HUGE drawing of the McDonald's golden arches In the middle I had the population of the state instead of number of burgers sold and the sign read, "Minnesota, Land of 2 million SCREWED!"

On every news cast and major newspaper as well as the previously mentioned SI.

Oh got into it with a loud mouthed Blackhawk fan too, that was actually the highlight of the night! The game was a bit emotional to say the least. Probably not a good idea to get obnoxious in a house full of 17000 very emotional hockey fans

Just another great reason not to have a sign

As somebody who wears serious hats on a daily basis, don't. Unless you get a costume one. A real hat made out of even a lower quality fur felt will run you at least $100 new. Some makers charge that much for a crappy wool felt hat. You could try e-bay, but unless you're a small size you'll still be paying out your nose.

Unless you have money to burn, it's not a great ideal. Those things ain't cheap. There's a reason all you see are cheap baseball caps.

If you want to do something that will get you noticed and possibly get you airtime but won't make the guy behind you want to kill you, try a Waldo getup or something interesting like that.

If you're taking a serious hat just to throw it on the ice, go to Goodwill on the way to the rink. Cheap and easy.

Besides it being a stroke of luck to even find a serious hat there, at least where I live, Those hats usually date from at least the 60s, and are better quality then most new ones.

You could if you want, but you would be throwing away something that you could sell for a decent amount of money, especially if they're in a larger size, or clean up and wear and have it last for the rest of your life.

If you want to throw away one of those cheap fabric things you find at the mall, go for it. Even one of those tweed jobs. But a nice fur felt being thrown away like that just makes me wince. I mean, it is your money, but it's one more high quality vintage hat that will never again be worn by somebody who appreciates it.

Besides, if that's not enough, here's a hat like the ones you might find in a goodwill:

Larger size hat for that age, so worth a little more then others you might find, but there you go.

Personally, I'm not a fan of buying a hat just to throw it on the ice. I'm only saying if you're going to do so, do so cheaply. I've seen cowboy hats, maybe the occasional Kangol or plaid golf hat at Goodwill for a few dollars. Go ahead and toss it. You're only out a few bucks.

I'll admit I'm ignorant about fine headwear. I'd know right away if I saw an S17 for the price of a Typhoon in a bin at Goodwill, but a hat is just a hat to me.

[cptjeff 0]

Cowboy hats are okay. They're still made at a high quality and are plentiful, especially out west. No shortage of those.

But nice old fedoras, to me it is like that s17 mispriced by the PIAS employee who puts it at $20, and somebody buying it just to break so they have a cool wall display. Or even better, a CNT, since the supply on those is limited and always shrinking.

Of course, that would assume that an S17 survived long enough to make it to a PIAS, but that's another topic.

Yeah I hear you unfortunately this was after the game and after the sign had been trashed. The guy was harassing a couple on a date, they were roughly 15 years old. THe guy was talking trash to the girl and the boyfriend was not in a position to do anything about it. I did.

I almost pissed myself when during the playoffs last year there was a '2 Sedins 1 Cup' sign.
