Nobody in this thread said anything about "stealing"!!! the Bruins objected based on having another team with similar colors making it difficult to brand/market merch etc IN THEIR LEAGUE. why are you basically still arguing with somebody who made the stealing comment weeks ago and isn't even here!!!

I started the thread by the fact I'm still laughing at them, and then got hit with a bunch of 'but actuallys!' So, yeah. I'm still laughing.

It's nice to know you're laughing, but the "but actuallys" were pointing out to you that the stealing argument wasn't actually that stupid. Hyperbolic, but not dumb. They wear practically the same colors, and the Bruins wore them first for hockey. It's not that far fetched. Stop being petty.

The Bruins actually didn't wear them first for hockey, though - that was part of the discussions. A prior Pittsburgh hockey team called the Pirates used those colors in the 1920s, so Pittsburgh actually had prior use of those colors in the NHL (although not as the Penguins).

I literally made the first comment which pointed this out upthread, but thank you anyways.

which I realize now makes me look like an idiot for saying they wore them first when I really meant they were already wearing them at the time of the switch...sorry I'm tired.

ayrt

ah okay I was trying to figure out where I'd misread... sorry for stepping on your toes, I guess!

no prob, sorry for being salty. I haven't been id-ing myself in this thread and my comment made no sense considering I was the one to bring up the Pirates in the first place lol. My bad.

yeah, I didn't identify myself as na either - I'm not laughing anon, I jumped in with the (second?) Pirates comment because of the overall thread, not so much your specific comment. I guess I missed you saying something first? I still can't find it, actually, so blame my reading comprehension.

nayrt
"When the Pens changed their colors to black and gold, the Bruins actually did appeal to the league because they're so similar, but they got denied because the old Pittsburgh Pirates used the same colors so they weren't ~exclusively Bruins~."

first response to laughing anon

da
I think the problem is that I think baseball first with Pirates, even though you did say 'old Pirates.'

ayrt

Ah, thank you! I definitely missed that completely.
