And yes, that was the first thought to enter my head as well. At least there aren’t any panels with “Opening Night 07”.

I'm the only one who actually likes it.
I think it serves a purpose…Even if it really is ONLY psycological…haha…….Party City I’m no so sure about….but what else could you put there….Donny ..that could be a whole new blog just on that subject……With this gang you got here….anything goes !
Indeed. And if sponsorship ever begins to lag, Yormark could purchase a tarp himself, emblazoning upon it his own beaming mug.

Kinda looks like something someone might have done in a introductory photoshop class…
I thought it was only gonna be 2-3 rows? That looks closer to 8 or 9? I guess when the Rangers and Leafs come down in December, they’ll pull them back. Whatever. I guess I was just hoping for something more plain and inconspicuous. A simple logo and team color or something along those lines…
The 3rd jersey look and Party City just looks… not good.
Even if it is a Photoshop, it’s a solid representation of the real article. Hence my “Ok” vote. I do get what’s trying to be accomplished here, warts and all.

This line...
“Thus far this offseason, the scarcity of available tickets has led to the Panthers pacing toward more than 10,000 full season ticket equivalents – the most in three seasons – prior to Opening Night on Oct. 16. ”
This line certainly leapt out at me though… what exactly are “full season ticket equivalents”? Sounds like fancy marketing words for “we didn’t really sell this many, but we can call it this if we phrase it how we want to.” Hmmm.
Perhaps referring to the “buy-one, get-one-free” dealio?
