Looks like they skipped celebrating their 90th anniversary of existence this current season and are celebrating their 90th season of play for 2016-17. Wonder what brought on that change of time line? I'll be honest, i'm all for any nod to their history.

Makes sense, because their 90th season anniversary is next season, and not this season (organizations first season was '26-'27)

I guess they had a change of heart in celebrating the season before.

'26-27 was the first season, so 2015-16 would have been the 90th, but they are likely not counting 2004-05. 2016-17 would be the 90th anniversary of their first game, but the 91st season if they counted the canceled lockout year.

Yeah I don't think anyone is counting the lockout year. Unless, are the Leafs/Habs?

I don't think you can just not count the lockout year. An anniversary is what it is.

i think they'll be marketing it a bit, one of the chase gifts for renewing season tickets is a 90th anniversary gift

Wonder if it impacts the heritage jersey at all. They came out with it for the 85th anniversary so who knows if they have anything in store for 90.

If they think they can make a dollar on it, they will come up with something.

This will probably look better as a flat image, as a shoulder patch.

for some reason reminds me of

westchester training facility inspiration perhaps

What is the source of this image? It looks a little weird rendered in 3D.

I bought the 75th anniversary coffee table book 15 years ago. Had some nice photos in it.

We won 4 cups in 90 years?

 

[sbjnyc]

1 cup in the last 75 years.

 

[Allan92]

Any predictions on who will make it to the 100th anniversary team? McD has a chance if they make him a lifer. Kreider? Stepan?

If Buch and Skjei turn out the way we want them to, they will be

 

[True Blue]

1 cup in the last 75 years.

All in all, least amount of success in the NHL. Especially given the long history as an original 6 team.

 

[Nickmo82]

I don't they should be celebrating anything given how woeful they were last year.

Until 5 years ago, the Blackhawks were the least successful. We all know how that stands today.

 

[Made Dan]

Speaking of cash grab, I'm down with having a white alternative throw back jersey ala the WC for road games.

Absolutely love this idea. Cream colored version? Sickkkk.


Someone should make a concept.

That does not change the facts. If the script was that easy to flip, it stands to reason that the Rangers would have won more. And while you do look at things from a historical basis, you can also look at things more recently. 3 Cups in 7 years is impressive. More success than the Rangers have had in 75.

This is pretty obvious, but if they won ONE cup in these last few runs, we'd all have a completely different view of this organization. We're more desperate now as we watch these great seasons cup up short.

But they haven't. And have done so very few times during any great runs in their history.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Unfortunately for this franchise, that is the typical endgame.
