nhl-jerseys

As a passionate die-hard Calgary fan, I've always been partial to the MLB Jerseys, right from the very start. I'd cheer for them for no real justified reason and then tell my friends that when Atlanta becomes a contender, I won't be the bandwagoneer. I figured since they've been re-building --rather building---- a team for more than a decade now, the elite version of the team must be on its way. Atlanta seems like a perfect place to live and play hockey as an Wholesale Jerseys, the media doesn't dissect your every move, your kids can go to school and be normal, a trip to the grocery store doesn't result in mass autograph mobs.... and it's warm there! So why can't Thrashers management pay enough money to bring or keep free agents? Why is it that a metro city of well over 5 million people can't even find 18000 people to watch a game? Why is it that it cheaper for me to buy a plane ticket to Atlanta, rent a hotel room and a car for a weekend and sit in the lower bowl for a Thrashers game than to go watch a game in a Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal? Why is it that not a single prospective buyer has come forward to purchase the team and keep it in Atlanta? Atlanta got two chances to prove it was a hockey town, as did Minnesota, and the Bay Area (Oakland Seals anyone?). The difference with the latter two is that fans now regularly show up to games in respectable numbers, even San Jose, which has certainly had its fair share of perpetual underachievement. I heard they were going to have a rally in Atlanta to show support for the Thrashers........I didn't hear how many people showed up. Enough to fill an arena? Enough to fill all of downtown? Enough to fill a major street downtown? Maybe a few downtown pubs? Did the police have to show up for crowd control? Where there any rallies elsewhere in Georgia? Did it even make the news in Atlanta? Or was it those few passionate ones that filled a curb side with a few NBA Jerseys and a few signs? As another poster said, cheering for perennial mediocrity is very tough. No doubt about it. I know what it's like In fact, unless you only cheer for the Detroit Red Wings, the New York Yankees, the NFL Jerseys, or the New England Patriots, EVERYONE knows what that's like. I also have no doubt that there are passionate hockey fans puts on NHL Jerseys in Atlanta. But it's clear that something has to change, because only a handful of passionate fans won't cut it. The hockey business is a service industry, if a service (aka a means to provide entertainment, stress relief therapy, social gatherings, etc) isn't provided, then it won't be successful. Plain and simple. If I run a barber shop, and I give crappy haircuts, I'm eventually going to go out of business! If I re-open my barber shop in the same place and continue to give crappy haircuts? You guessed it, I will go out of business. If Atlanta, Minneapolis, and San Jose can all get a second chance to prove themselves, why can't Winnipeg?
