The good news for the haters in all of this is that the Phoenix Coyotes are now no longer in Arizona. The bad news for the haters is that there is still is an NHL team in Arizona.



Bad joke I know! Still will take time to get used to the name change though.

Yep, I'll be typeing PHX in the foreseeable future on boards, until my brain catches up with the name.

PHX is just such a unique shorthand

Same, I've been calling the team "Phoenix", since I was a toddler. It's going to take a long time for me to adjust.

I don't know why I never gave any thought to the fact that the name change will vault them much higher in any alphabetical listing. I'm sure any effect that has on anything is exceedingly marginal, but I'm sure it must affect something, even if it's just more people using them in video games.

ARI or ARZ or AZC?

How long will it take HF boards to catch up? Over/under six weeks?

Like I mentioned in the other thread it should be well under that

ARI or ARZ or AZC?

No clue, but can't it just be AZ, like it is with LA, TB or NJ?

LAK TBL and NJD are how they appear during broadcasts, no?

That's actually a pretty interesting thought. You never know what it could do. Sometimes even the most subtle changes can make a difference.

I think they are in the 3 letter format. I would strongly prefer just "AZ" but I don't think that will be the case. I think we're going to see "ARI."

I just checked and FSAZ uses the 2 letter TB, LA, NJ where the score/clock is shown in the corner. Other things use 3 letter.

DM had joked in a video interview that the name change means that they will be closer to the stage during the draft.

I would prefer AZ like the new patches but I've been seeing ARI used in the media lately. I would think the media would stay with AZ to align with the new jersey state patches. Either way, I'll be calling them the Phoenix Coyotes for awhile. Hope the new 3rd jersey will be nice. Looking forward to retro kachina night too.

So no more ferret jersey?

Yup.... the black 3rd jersey is no more.

 

[Sinurgy]

I noticed earlier today my "Phoenix Coyotes" Android app updated itself and now it's the "Arizona Coyotes" app.

Where'd you hear this?

 

[0point1]

I love that someone from Quebec might accidentally click on the Coyotes logo when trying to click on French.

Edit: It is a slim chance but still slightly probable.

Where'd you hear this?

LeBlanc has always said they were going to phase that out.

 

[TheLegend]

Where'd you hear this?

From LeBlanc.... via more than one interview.

-- Current third is being phased out.

-- A throwback jersey will be brought back for one game (at least), and a new third will be developed, possibly for the latter part of the season.

Yep, I don't remember who with the team said it, but I heard the 'new' 3rd was done for, would only be seen on fans who wear it; and next season the alternate jersey would be the black kachina jersey. What I don't know is if they are having new ones made or if they had a truckload of unused ones sitting in storage over at Swift or somewhere...

be nice to be able to order or buy from the team shop new kachina styles alongside the current jerseys...

Some folks who go to the games wearing the old kachina jerseys wear jerseys at least 3 sizes too small. Either they've expanded their waistlines over the years or repeated washings over the years have shrunken their jerseys....

So much better than ARI or ARZ. IMO anyway, no insult intended to those who will feel it is worse.
