Maybe put some type of writing on top or bottom, like a meme.

I like the villains idea, with either a quote or just a picture and “is a Pens fan,” or 3 Petes/Peters. Although we could use villains any year, so I feel like this year’s should have to do with 3...

If it’s not 3 Petes/Peters or trios, I say we shouldn’t actually put “threepeat” in the avatar (knocking on wood, and all that)...instead we could have the 93 isles logo in the last frame and/or make the last frame 3D-ish like above. We would know why it’s like that without necessarily rubbing it in ;)

PS— was the good idea from earlier in the season something to do with iPads? I remember seeing someone mention that while lurking, and I think it was because Sid (and the team in general) started playing better once they got the iPads, and Sid was always looking at it on the bench…

We should have a mocking underdogs one. Since as back to back Champs we don't even have the best odds. It'd annoy the others.

That's all that matters to me.

1) 93 Isles is seriously hilarious if put together properly. But how do we mix it with giving our sarcasm, too?

2) Villains is fun but it won't get us the heat we want. If we are going all-in villains, we can do it better than that. I'd rather just go with a "fixed" theme like Jaded said.

Very important - we definitely need some photoshop help. I haven't tested this version's ability for gif avatars. I don't even know avatar sizing. But if you can help out with the photoshop, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I don't dislike him at all, but maybe one mocking McDavid to trigger Oiler fans.

Every player considered #97, and with their name altered to mock the whole "McJesus" thing ("BrassJesus" for Brassard, "EvJesus" for Malkin, etc.)

It's a bad idea, and I'm fully aware of this, but I think I just have a bug up my a** about the Oilers right now.

I asked about this the other day. Per Sniper ...
The software will downscale any graphic to 96 x 96 regardless of the dimension you upload.
File size is quite a bit bigger though ... Moderator/Golden Parachute/Sponsor is 102KB and the limit for Regular Posters is 51KB.
I haven't played around with it yet. He also said if it can't downscale it should throw an error message. Basically, less real estate but more content, or, if you prefer, think of it as less space for text but more frames and/or colors.

It's a decent idea. That fanbase and team deserve all the ridicule they get. Biggest joke on ice IMO.

Remember last summer when McDavid "was better than anyone except Gretzky. And yes even Lemieux.."

:shakehead

The trouble is we (or anyone...lol) won't be facing them in the playoffs again this year so, it'd look kinda weird.

96x96... damn. That sucks. It was 150x150 for mods/sponsors and 125x125 for regular. That changes a lot with verbiage we may/may not want to put on the avatar.

So we may want to keep that in mind. For example - our great day for hockey quotes would be too big. :laugh:

Just an idea I had, not sure what to do with it though, but something around the Count from Sesame Street counting to 3 for our threepeat?

Rough idea I made. Idk. Someone more creative can run with it if they want :P
