General Consultant Discussion

It has been brought to my attention that there is a major issue with the 90 Minds shirts that I purchased in July....... the colors, green and gold, are suspiciously exactly the same as the Green Bay Packers uniforms. Now I am very subconscious wearing my shirt. @ThereseLogeais Are you messing with me? On the next shirt order, I suggest we change the color to something more striking.... say...... navy and orange. See attached picture to match colors.

Hey, I'm from Minnesota and the Packers are NOT my team of choice (although, I can't say I have a team of choice currently...)

That can be corrected on the next order.......

As long as it's not garnet & gold, I'm good.

@ThereseLogeais Isnt your co-worker from WI? I sense a conspiracy.

Yes, she is but I didn't let it influence me. The logo has green in it so that's the path we took.

LOL... OK. No sweat. just checking.

I am sure we can get the shirts with purple and gold for TL.....

LOL. Not a big Vikings fan either, although I can tolerate them (slightly) more than I can tolerate the Packers. I had a good friend, Dave Huffman, that played for the Vikings for 11 years. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident 15 years ago.

@JeffSchwenk it appears TL is a fair weather fan anyway...which is really limiting in Minnesota...

Ha ha @PhilMcIntosh !! I watch the Viking games as painful as it is to do so...

@ThereseLogeais - I am a Jets fan, so it's nice to occasionally have somebody with a more hopeless fan position...

I think I can clear up this confusion. The colors selected have nothing to do with professional football. There was no attempt to endorse a particular team, such as the cheese heads in Green Bay. Actually, the colors selected are based on the home uniforms of the Minnesota Wild hockey team. Therese and I thought that there are very few hockey fans in 90 Minds and that no one would make the connection. Minnesota is THE hockey state and our color selection was our way to subversively assert that.

The Wild????? WTH happened to the North Stars?????

Shhhhhhh @MyronStevenson !!!

They are now the Dallas Stars. Sigh.... Loved the North Stars.... Had half season tickets back in the day.

@JeffSchwenk - Thank you for validating our conclusion of hockey knowledge within the group.

Time to break out the hip waders... it is getting mighty deep in here........ As a Boston University alum, I am partial to the scarlet and white jerseys... you know, the team that had 4 players on the 1980 Miracle on Ice hockey team that won the Olympic gold medal .... the same school that has won 5 NCAA men's hockey championships.

@MyronStevenson - Glad to share my hockey with you anytime....

Eleven of the Miracle on Ice team were from Minnesota @DougHiggs . Just sayin'.

@DougHiggs - In Minnesota we recognize the contributions of BU players to the 1980 team. Jim Craig and Mike Eruzione both played for BU. Yet, of the 20 players on the team, 12 were from Minnesota (though Dave Christian played for North Dakota the other 11 played at Minnesota universities). Also, the coach of the team - Herb Brooks was a Minnesotan.

BU also had Jack O'Callahan and Dave Silk. Mike Eruzione scored the winning goal against the Soviet Union, and Jim Craig was the winning goalie.

Personally I am an ex-Islander fan who moved to Atlanta and started following the Flames before they moved to Calgary and then liked the Thrashers and finally have up on Hockey in Atlanta

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to see Doug wearing his shirt while he's subconscious. We could try that thing about putting his hand in warm water...

LOL!

Note to self: Wear Depends to the next 90 Minds function!

Then you'll really feel self-conscious...

I would be happy with just standard Hollywood black. ;-)

@MyronStevenson @ThereseLogeais Here Come the Hawks, the mighty Blackhawks Take the attack, Yeah, and we'll back you Blackhawks You're flyin' high now, so let's wrap it up Let's go you Hawks, move off Now all look out, Here Come the Hawks, Here Come the Hawks, Here Come the Hawks, Here Come the Hawks, Here come the Hawks ..... Lets go Hawks!

<Dislike>

Go Blackhawks. There are chips on the table. Go wild over The Wild.......

I'm not a betting person but my chips are on the Wild...

4 more for the cup.

A great series. Was starting to think it might go the full seven. I was on edge the entire game until after the OT ending....

@DougHiggs - What the H is going on with the Blackhawks??? Reminds me of a September swoon of the Northsiders!!!!!!

@JeffSchwenk I don't know what is going on but I'm getting worried. We are going to get as win at the United Center tonight.....And yes, the Cubs in August of '69 comes to mind, so does October of '84 and '89.
