But I have to admit that the colours do work very well.<BR/><BR/>And I realise that I failed to answer the implicit question in your sub-title.<BR/><BR/>To the extent I was ever aware of how the phrase was spelled, it was always along the lines "Yippie-Aye-Oh, Yippie-Aye-Ay". Even allowing for some distortion occasioned by the distance between the wide open spaces of the West and the sidewalks of New York, what that lyrics site came up with is about as far from canonic as you can get.ursus arctosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506926662304536535.post-54462433054575437352007-09-15T16:02:00.000+03:002007-09-15T16:02:00.000+03:00Grazie ursus, I'm very glad you enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>The story behind the apostrophe (sometimes interpreted as a stick hooking the opponent player; one hooking gives you a penalty, ten hookings drain the spirit from the game) is closely related to the bizarreness of the old crest. It was perceived as commercially dysfunctional, and the rest of the story is narrated by an advertisement agency. It's supposed to picture a hurricane, but looks a mere tornado to me.<BR/><BR/>I like it, though. It's simple enough and materialises as black and red home jerseys, which are the <A HREF="http://www.keskisuomi.fi/eng/central_finland/?id=156" REL="nofollow">colours of the region.</A><BR/><BR/>A pity that I can't trace the old logo anywhere in the net. If someone can help with that, then please do.Aapohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238268282575859166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506926662304536535.post-20723976700246169692007-09-15T10:57:00.000+03:002007-09-15T10:57:00.000+03:00An insanely brilliant opening post Aapo. <BR/><BR/>I've never been to any of the places you mention* other than Helsinki but that piece speaks to the hearts of those who love this great game, be they in Alberta, Attleboro or Almaty. <BR/><BR/>Hat thrown on the virtual ice.<BR/><BR/>Just one question, why is your crest an apostrophe? As we say in New York, what's up with that?<BR/><BR/>* BTW, egan, a map indicating the locations of the clubs would be a nice addition.ursus arctosnoreply@blogger.com
