The Jersey History of the Whalers/Hurricanes Franchise 

I never noticed that until you said that. Thats a nice little touch.

Huh never noticed that!

Nice eye. Damn

I did but not until recently

One of the main reasons I like it so much, it was actually put in the reveal video and write up on it when it debuted.

Played the song in the background when he showed the Whalers jerseys

_PLEASE, COME TO OUR GAMES!!!_

Never noticed that before

Agreed! The storm flags are the one thing that’s never been/going to be done by another team. I will admit that the least good looking version is the old black on red though, so I see where Shannon is coming from.

The flags gave it a personality versus a boring stripe.

Same here

The flags on the bottom look really good. I'm surprised Shannon doesn't think so.

We do now. 🙃yes I get the joke

Same here

I think they should go back to Hartford

They shouldn't make their third jersey the main because that would get rid of the red jersey

You got your wish

Same

Me too

Cause it sucks balls as a primary but it actually looks decent on the shoulder

@@joemartinez8105 The primary logo is great. Get your eyes checked. It's a lot better than a boring ass "W" with a Whale tail.

@@travisreifke4356 Nah, it's too tall and skinny to be a primary. It looks weird on the front. It belongs on the shoulder. Also, I was not a fan of the Whalers primary logo, just so you know.

Raleigh is no where near the ocean.

@@davidtuttle7556 just give it time surely the polar ice caps will melt and then the ocean will be right near raleigh lol

@@davidtuttle7556 compared to Winnipeg or Calgary Raleigh is pretty close to the ocean

@@lorndarken Then ill be under water. I live in Fl.

@@davidtuttle7556raleigh nc is much higher in elevation than all of florida

the rebrand in 2013 was something I didn't like then and still now. The hurricane warning pattern is unique and was perfect branding so when they did away with it, I was pissed. There are only 3 teams in the late 90's that had jerseys that were perfect branding for their team name: Colorado, Dallas, and Carolina. Dallas' star jersey is the best branding idea ever and Colorado's was meant to mimic the mountains. Carolina's look was perfect because it was traditional and still allowed for the awesome warning flag pattern to establish the brand. When they did away with it, it felt like they gave up trying to brand themselves. At least it's back now, but I'd love for them to swallow the pill and go full on warning flags on the waistline. Maybe for the 25th Anniversary season, they'll bring back the originals from the early days here in Carolina. I mean, we sell the Whalers jersey with Pucky as a "Vintage" option so why not sell the OG's too?

The Canes wordmark looks terrible. Especially because it's diagonal.

As much as I, along with probably everyone else would want to see that, Quebec is probably the only one that has a chance of getting their team back. Atlanta had two teams and lost them both, so Im sure the NHL is done with them. Hartford is too small of a market and right in the middle of Boston and New York. And I think in order for Quebec to get their team back, the Canadian dollar needs to be extremely strong, so itll probably be a long while

@@AndrewDorsey27 I'm in the minority where I think Atlanta has a shot at getting a team. The Thrashers leaving Atlanta had very little to do with attendance or a lack of interest in hockey in Atlanta. It had to do with bad ownership (lawsuit hungry ownership) and the lack of an arena not attached to said ownership. The NHL knows this and IF Atlanta can fix their arena issues and get proper potential owners I think they have a good chance.

@@AndrewDorsey27 I really, really doubt the NHL is done with Atlanta. The Thrashers only moved because the NHL was already trying to keep the Coyotes afloat and nobody was stepping up in the city to buy the team under Atlanta Spirit's godawful terms. Under better terms, the Thrashers never even move to Winnipeg to start with. Atlanta's the 10th largest TV market in the US, there's not a chance in hell that the NHL won't go back there again.

@@Worldpeacekid Currently after the Seattle expansion I feel if there are any cities to get a team next would be Quebec and Houston. Houston more than likely through relocation of an underperforming team like the Coyotes or Panthers. Hockey can work in the desert (Vegas being a prime example), but I feel the Coyotes are on a clicking clock and if they can't make it work in the next five years the NHL may just cut their losses for now. The Panthers I don't think will be relocating with their currently cushy arena deal. But, that won't last forever so the Panthers have to start getting better and fast. I feel Atlanta will be an expansion team in the next round of expansions. I believe the NHL wants to have a forty team league by the end of 2040. I think Atlanta has a great shot at being one of the next round of expansions between 34-36. But, that depends on how COVID turns out and if we see any teams retract. If there are any retractions (Columbus, Winnipeg, Florida, Arizona, Anaheim), that could derail any expansion ambitions for the league. But, if they make it through this in one piece than I don't see why Atlanta does not get in within the next 10 years.

Actually, its Alan Hansleben.

And now Dallas’s current colors and design looks similar to the Whalers.

Oops: 7) middle white

u can get them everywhere now

You bandwagon you used to be a Canucks fan. I hate you

You again? Can you leave me alone?

HURRICANEJD1129 don’t worry. The dude simps for Caroline (the mascot)

Because they don't want the team that left their city to be associated with the Whalers

I agree. It should be a single flag not a double flag.

Objectively false sorry bud

Zach that's not how objective works....
