Kyle Shaw, l'auteur de l'article, n'est guere impressionne par le choix du nom et logo de l'equipe WHA d'Halifax..un extrait..

"The Halifax logo was revealed last Thursday, apparently after a brainstorming session Wednesday night. Late Wednesday night. The result is a train wreck of east coast cliches and outdated ideas about what a Haligonian is. For starters the team is called the IceBreakers—yes, that’s an intercap—even though Halifax Harbour is world famed for its ice-free depth. Pictured on the logo is a salty fisherman, jaw clenched as he leads the charge up the ice (the broken ice?), while a trusty lighthouse shines in the background. It’s a minor miracle the old geezer has a hockey stick in his hand instead of a bagpipe."

L'article continue pour proposer quelques suggestion qui refletent un peu mieux la population d'Halifax aujourd'hui..notamment le Halifax Frosh, avec des etudiants universitaires qui doivent de la biere pendant la semaine d'initiation.

THAT...is priceless.

Nothing like having the media weighing in on it thinking it is a complete joke out of the gate.

Beyond sad.

glad to pass it along...I had a feeling you'd appreciate that article.
