Fans raise money to put up anti-Garth billboard outside Barclays

[Doshell Propivo]

The "Long Island Hockey Fans" seems to be a thinly veiled jab at the team moving to Brooklyn. Would've made more sense if Ledecky and Malkin were still undecided about where to move the team.

They kept the design simple and that may be related to cost contraints. I would assume, and I could be completely wrong, the more intricate the design, the higher the cost of production.

Typically the cost is related to how many colors are used in a design. An extremely intricate design can be cheap if it's only one color and a really simple one can be costly if they use a ton of colors. I've never done a billboard myself, but I assume industry standards hold true in that form as well.

Billboards are almost always done 4 color.

So is there just a flat fee for them?

I once rented a billboard for a year... they charged me $X per month and $Y every time I wanted to change it..

Pathetic and embaressing, going to ensure the Islanders futility for a long time, but as long as the "fans" are going to have a chuckle out if it since they are not able to pick on Bailey or Strait anymore that is what is important.

Really curious about you as a human being. Where do you live? What's your age? What do you do for a living? Are you single...Married...Divorced...? Do you live with your family?

You really know how to make another guy jealous, don't you?

Have you tried Tinder lately?

Could've saved yourself a lot of typing and just wrote "a/s/l?"

Not my goal, but good to know I have another indirect skill.

Have you tried Tinder lately?

Unfortunately met my wife just before Tinder arrived. Would have liked to give that a go.

Aside from the fact I'm not hip to all the lingo these days...With that particular poster I wanted to make sure I spelled out everything in long-form so he couldn't retort with, "You see...It's people who use abbreviations that are destroying this franchise."

It’s to bad Ledecky is ducking clueless. We already have one of the smallest fan bases in the league and Ledecky compounds the problem by keeping Snow around.

If they go into Belmont as a playoff pretender get ready for 8-9K by December when the new building smell wears off.

 

[saintunspecified]

Simple is fine. It's a simple message. I love simple. However, I don't think they should have used the sweater nameplate font in the design. It can be confusing and to some degree ropes the players and team into it unwittingly. I also think they should have said "New York Islanders fans" to reinforce the name.

I agree. They probably didn't do that because of trademark infringement, but let NYI send them a cease and desist, and take it down. Would be mad free publicity.

The Long Island Hockey Fans thing needlessly complicates the message.

I thought of that, and I came to the same conclusion. The billboard company may have put up a wall, but based on some of the decisions behind this thing, it probably didn't get that far.

Is tomorrow the day?

Next year when Snow is still the GM where does the Ledecky must sell billboard go?

Look at this other moronic set of fans who care so much about their team that they are trying to implement change....

This is definitely the reason why Karlsson won’t re-sign

Just don't bring a sign to the arena to express your feelings. Melnyk had security remove a fan for a sign expressing their feelings on which of Melnyk and Karlsson they'd like to see stay and which they'd like to see go.

No doubt Snow would do the same thing. After all he banned a writer one time.

 

[Isles Junkie]

Maybe they run into copyrite infringements if they use the word Islanders ?

Beautiful!!!

If only Ledecky cared about the on ice product like he does real estate

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

The best thing about this trade deadline is those billboards.

Yes, better than Davidson and Wagner.

Once JTs futures is determined, Snow should be fired regardless of the outcome. Based on the theories, it would make sense Malkin does not want to rock the boat given Snow and Tavares history.

Missing the playoffs two years in a row coupled with the amount of goals the team let’s up and Greiss and Ladds performance, that is grounds for dismissal in any respectable organization. Can’t believe I’m trying to justify why this Circus should be torn down

No surprise in Islanders country that on deadline day, seeing these billboards was the best islanders-related part of the day. Hope Ledecky has to see those every day on his way by.
