Playoff push 2015 avatars

[1989]

If the Flames make the playoffs, I'll likely make a few "catch-all" (non-player specific) avatars for everyone to use.

Suggestions for themes would be nice.

I was thinking of two:

1) LEGO themed "building towards the Stanley Cup"
2) Unsustainable/Aaron Ward
3) Lord of the Rings/Hobbit "The Unexpected Journey"

I'm planning to have them done by March so let's decide soon.

Let's get some Ward avatars .

I honestly don't want to change, I think it's bad JuJu since we are on the bubble

Then don't change yours.

They're not player specific. If you want to use them, use them. If you want to keep using II's, that's fine too.

They're going to be made regardless - it's been 5 years since the Flames have been in a good position to make the post-season. 30 games to go, and there's a real chance. I want to embrace that.

Let me know if you need any lego related assets for these Signature.

Playoff push avatars is bad luck.

Playoff avatars for when we've clinched? Bring 'em on.

I for one do like the idea of playoff/playoff push avatars. Signature is right- this is the first time in a long time we've been in this position. At the same time, I'm really attached to my current avatar. I feel like these current avatars do represent the unity and team concept that has gotten the Flames this far.

I don't know. I'd like to see them first. Unsustainable seems like a dangerous idea for pre-playoff avatars, because if we miss the playoffs after all, the jokes on us. Aaron Ward avatars make a lot of sense. LEGO will always be a win.

Will the people who already have avatars get that player or will everybody have to call them again?

Edit: read the op.

 

[Gritty]

Unsustainable with Aaron Ward leading us into battle!

 

[Bosnian Beast]

What about Lego Aaron Ward avatars?

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Unsustainable with Aaron Ward leading us into battle!

I like this one Unsustainable! Wardo does think so!

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I am down.

 

[Richi]

I still like my own gdt theme, the "flames, an unexpected (playoff) journey" hobbit theme :

Suggestion: Flames players as hobbits or idk...

Edit: I also really like the unsustainable theme

 

[CraigsList]

"In Ward We Trust" should be somewhere in the unsustainable theme .

 

[Anglesmith]

An Unexpected Journey was definitely genius, Richi.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I like the Unexpected Journey one

 

[1989]

They'll likely be animated, so I can fit phrases or whatever.

Updated OP with ideas. Will add a poll when I am home.

edit - how do people think about a "In Hartley we Trust/Like wadda guy" as a potential theme?

 

[Kanye]

Cardiac Kids?

I like the Valentines day cards the Flames made.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Playoff push avatars is bad luck.

Playoff avatars for when we've clinched? Bring 'em on.

I concur.

That said... I think you meant to type Johnny Bagginsâ„¢ there Richi.

That was one of the worst blog posts i've ever read. I guess anyone with half a brain on designing websites can be a hockey blogger.

That website is ugly as hell.

 

[Calculon]

The idea of playoff push avatar's seems odd. I too prefer playoff avatars; the Unsustainable/Aaron Ward/smartest guys in the room theme is a great idea.

Add me as another vote for waiting until we clinch a spot.
