The Playoff Avatar Thread - Vote in the poll!

[SUBdrewgANS]

I cannot give enough credit to @SUBdrewgANS and @Tweed - dudes nailed it. The end the drought may be the funniest one. I may be biased.

I can't take any credit for the avatars, all I did was advocate for letting a Pro Designer "do his thing".
@SUBdrewgANS is the magician behind this sweet set of Pitty Avis, it's all him

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

if anyone wants to jump on our bandwagon.. doubtful.. but here ya go

Phobia catalyst was kind enough to do ours, which of course feature banners. Please feel free to add it to OP.

Yep. He did a great job, and they are expandable for personal taste.

Columbus skipping avatars?

They said they haven’t done them since 09

 

[JoVel]

They said they haven’t done them since 09

And they've always lost in round 1 since 09. Coincidence?

@Tater Trotz hfcaps avatars are here: Playoff Avatars - Wilson Real Estate - Under Construction

You've combined the two things I hate the most about the Caps - Wilson and the Kuzy "bird" celebration - well done! A perfect avatar.

I don't get the fawning over them. Seem pretty stock. Though I do like the "raining Cups" bit. Nice.

I'm the only one willing to do anything for the TOR board, and I am far from a magician and have little time. Here's some of the better ones I've made so far;

Going w/Tom Wilson again just made so much sense as he's such a hot button issue. I was torn between the DC Fountains and the referee, but had to stick with the fountains in the end.

As a product of the Vegas board's indecisiveness here are ours. Credit to @TK for slide 1. Theme "Real Contenders"

For context into the origin of the theme: The Knights went on a pretty strong winning streak after acquiring Stone, but once third in the division seemed a virtual lock it seemed like they had given up on trying resulting in some very frustrating hockey to watch. This sparked a debate on whether or not they should fully save their energy for the postseason or at least play the fundamentals of the game well enough to be sharp when they roll into the first round. From there, every awful play would get called "Real Contender passing" or a "Real Contender powerplay."

Probably not as funny to everyone else but to us the team board specific meme felt like it had to be the theme.

How in the hell are these 50kb?

I love em. Weird as hell.

Hey folks.

Made a general-use Calgary playoff avatar for anyone who is interested. Thought about doing the whole roster but for now Giordano is the default. Feel free to use if you like it.

HFBoards-compliant size (sad resolution/animation)

Non-HFBoards compliant, original version (use it somewhere else?)

 

[SniperHF]

Need to get all these squared away so we can have a poll

 

[Lame Lambert]

OP is done. Looks like Dallas and CBJ isn’t participating.

 

[SniperHF]

Poll added, vote!

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Voted Tampa, definitely most accurate lol

 

[Prince Pasta]

voted Blues simply because of the avatar with the dude smacking into the boards

 

[RandyHolt]

It's tough not to vote for the Tampanians paper tiger theme

 

[McGarnagle]

That Tampa "on paper" theme sure aged well

 

[Future GOAT]

Canes IMO.

 

[hangman005]

Was a toss up between the Bolts and Canes for me, but I went Canes... can't go passed a bunch of jerks.
