Okay so if it's "museum" this is going to be tough.

Monahan as the Mona Lisa, obv.
Jarome Iginla anointing Johnny Gaudreau in "The Creation of Adam"
Tkachuk as "The Laughing Cavalier"
Curtis Lazar and Troy Brouwer in "American Gothic"
Sam Bennett as "Van Gogh's Self Portrait" (this could look fantastic IMO)
Backlund as "Vitruvian Man"
Frolik as "The Thinker"

??? "The Girl with the Pearl Earring"


Giordano as "Napoleon Crossing the Alps"
Brodie as "Portrait of a Gentleman Skating"
Hanifin as "Portrait of a Young Man"
Hamonic as "Michelangelo's David" (or whoever's the most fit)

Any Rookie as "The Birth of Venus"
Anyone as "The Son of Man"

Smith as "The Scream"


OR now that I've wasted my time looking at art, maybe just making them into oil paintings and funny sayings.

Honestly, I won't participate in the museum theme as I feel like it is mocking a former player. But, if it wins, it wins. I just will forgo an avatar this year.

I think a retro videogame theme would be fun. (8-bit/32-bit graphics?)

Something like Super Mario Bros. or any franchise with recognizable characters we can paste faces over.

1. You aren't seriously trying to be a martyr here. Of course, you never mock anyone...

2. Dougie "mocked" himself then by saying there were no good museums in Calgary.

3. Didn't you just tell me the story about how the guy in your avatar and his shtick of basically mocking everyone?

If anything it's making fun of a stupid anecdote that may or may not be true.

I won’t participate in a Wrestling theme, because wrestling is stupid.

Maybe we should use “Irony” as a theme...

I like the museum/Art theme, but that'll be difficult to put together.
Like, hopefully someone's really, really good at photoshop/photo editors, because I'm not sure how just pasting someone's face on some of the complex ones look.

Would be really funny though with some that could come together.

Would love to see Saturn Devouring his Son or Judith Beheading Holofernes as Flames memes.

1. I've always refused to make avatars that mock former players, why would this be any different? It's not about being a martyr, it's about not wanting to be a blatant troll. I don't care if others use them, I just don't want to.

2. Good for him, doesn't mean I have to want to partake.

3. There is a difference between a heel wrestler who is paid to be hated mocking the cities he's visiting and mocking Hamilton IMO.

That's fine. Every theme isn't going to be for everyone. I didn't particularly enjoy the GoT ones from last year, having never watched the show and knowing approximately 0 references from it. But do what you gotta do.

I get where you're coming from, but I think it mocks the media/critics who are making a big deal about it more than anything haha (but then again, I'm a museum guy myself)

If we end up with this theme, I can help with some Photoshops too but let's keep some ideas coming. I still think we can come up with some good/better ideas.

What are the big blockbuster movies this summer? Maybe tie that in with our summer blockbuster move and make Flames themed movie posters? I had fun with my Weekend at Jagr's photoshop haha

They don't even have to be based on real movies, just movie cliches.

I won't add the posters, but other ideas:

Fifty Shades of Dube
The Perminator (picture of Jagr and his glorious perm)
The Departed (faces of Hamilton, Ferland and Fox)
The Expendables (faces of all the UFAs & RFAs we let go)
Chronicles of Rittich
Silence of the Fans (someones face shushing the away crowd)
Morgan (Logan poster with Klimchuk's face)
Foolander
