From: (Anonymous)I quit like the red line made out of Texas, but why over the logo? Also, the blue lines should follow suit.
Re: Random Hockey Things
From: (Anonymous)The red line has to go over the logo because it is a part of the field of play. The red line serves a purpose in the game and it must be visible at all times and in every part of it. The logo is just advertising.
You can't break up the bluelines because the entirety of the blue line is very important to the game (for judging offside, etc), which is often done by judging the white space present between the puck or a skate on the blueline. Having the blueline broken up could make that difficult. Same reason the goal line is solid red.
Fun fact: most teams use something to break up the red line (Texas shapes, stars, boxes, etc) because back in the days of black and white TVs, it was the only way to tell the red line from the blue line on television. That started the convention of breaking up the red line, and teams got more creative with it as time went on. Some teams don't do it anymore, but most have fun with the ability to break up the red line with some bit of graphic silliness.

From: (Anonymous)Honestly I think Montreal and Philly look the nicest as a result -- but the logos with bilateral symmetry or something close to it look ok. It's the ones with no symmetry, or words that are interrupted, that just look kind of hideous with a line through them.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Things
From: (Anonymous)It's a little jarring for me to have the logo cut off like that. Obviously it can't be that jarring if I didn't notice it until someone else brought it up, but it's still a little annoying.
Re: Random Hockey Things
From: (Anonymous)Found a link! This site has pics of all the teams and what their red lines look like. http://frozennhl.blogspot.ca/
Re: Random Hockey Things
From: (Anonymous)So clearly this is one of those things that my mind has glossed over until someone called attention to it. (thanks so much Dallas Twitter). I can't unsee this now. :/
Re: Random Hockey Things
From: (Anonymous)Yeah, it's one of those things that you don't notice until you notice, and then you can't stop.
Re: Random Hockey Things
From: (Anonymous)Cool find! Thanks!
