\"admiralsgray\"\"admiralswhite\"<\/p>\n

When I was researching my Eric Weinrich story Saturday, I almost forgot about Milwaukee\u2019s August first announcement for their new logo and jersey. I thought the one they\u2019ve had since the 1980s was fine despite the Cap\u2019n Crunch comment I received from a hockey ignoramus at work. I assumed they had to make a change when they joined the AHL but it wasn\u2019t too bad, I only thought losing their old colors for some rather lame ones stunk. I’m still puzzled as to why the AHL keeps two franchises named Admirals too (Norfolk isn\u2019t very good so they have to change despite the idea of there being a large naval fleet sailing on Lake Michigan).<\/p>\n

Well for some inane reason the Milwaukee organization changed it again. Thanks to Johnny Depp, pirates are popular again and we all know how the city of beer and brats (pronounced \u2018brauts,\u2019 short for brautwurst) was terrorized by Captain Pabst blockading Miller Valley with his armada of Blue Ribbons back in the 1800s. I really hate it when teams pursue short-lived fads such as gang colors (see the Charlotte Hornets and San Jose Sharks) or names everyone will label as dated in three seasons (see the Toronto Raptors). But upon further inspection, I think the new look is more inspired by Tim Burton\u2019s\u00a0Corpse Bride <\/em>and\u00a0The Nightmare before Christmas<\/em> so they could sell more jerseys through Hot Topic and promoto Goth Night at the Bradley Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
