No, awareness puts things more into the spotlight and makes folks think about them a little more. If it gets one woman to think, "Gee, I haven't been checked in a while, maybe I should schedule a screening." or gets a few folks to toss a couple more bucks into the research fund then it has done its job.

Definitely, Definitely, Definitely, holy shit, how can no one spell that word. Also, the blue field was an advantage not only for Boise's branding, but their team as well, at least until this season when they were barred from wearing all blue uniforms for home games.

Because my University classes teach me nothing about spelling, only numbers, that's why.

It's like Rickie Fowler wearing all green.

[chippa13 1844]

One hopes that by the time you reach university that spelling is a skill already attained.

[troy 12]

Yeah, I don't think there were any spelling classes available this fall, might be a spring thing. I think I hate "defiantly" more than the equally common "definately". I think I need to go change my tampon now.

[chippa13 1844]

Perhaps we're reacting too hastily. Maybe he meant to use the word "defiantly" and we're wrongly assuming that "definitely" was what he meant.

[Harv 86]

Jagr had to black out the Cobalt on his gloves.

Someone didn't want to pay dues.

Combat

Combat

Gahhhh

Shows how effective Combat is at marketing and brand recognition.

Or maybe I just had Chevy on the mind.

VS

[HockeySavants 5]

Don't they use the same font type as the Blackhawks?

[ironslave 2]

Both J Staal and Malkin in APX skates with custom+ holders. (didn't see a Malkin pic on nhl.com)

Went to the B's game last night. Noticed the white "C" , didn't seem to look too bad. The helmet numbers in the front didn't look as terrible 12 rows back as they do in the close up picks the Wild EQM posted. Jagr's Combat gloves had the wordmark on the wristrolls blacked out with what looked like sharpie.

I think the Bruins did it right with the helmet numbers. Black with a yellow outline on a black helmet, they're barely noticeable...

His stick wasn't blacked out. Does that make any difference?

[bagsbie 8]

Jagr's blacking out "Combat" on his gloves but not his stick did tickle my curiosity as well. Why was it necessary to mask the gloves?

I believe it's separate fees for different equipment.

[snipey 0]

Yes, gloves are a seperate fee from sticks

[ibeck 38]

Speaking of fonts, anyone else notice detroits name bars go straight across the backs and not that "rainbow" way anymore?

[Jagrmullet 8]

Any idea how much the fees are and for each piece equiment/type? Jagr had to black out his Combat sticks and gloves at the IIHF World Championships too. Does this fee apply to the NHL and IIHF by chance? I would believe its a seperate matter.

Just in the pre-season.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Separate.

The mfgr chooses which category they want to be in. For instance, Vaughn pays the NHL fee but doesn't pay the IIHF; that's why their goal pads are logo-less at the Olympics and WCs.

As far as the helmet numbers go, I wouldn't mind it if the NHL standardized a set for all teams to use.
