Lock Out Avatars
 

Just an idea I wanted to float out there. I'll begin by saying that I likely won't be changing my avatar, but a question for those who like to do the playoff avatar thing. Should we have Preds lock out avatars? The theme could play off of the whole Preds fans are used to adversity thing. One of them could be, 'Think you're down about the Lock out? How do you think we feel?' with a picture of Weber and $13,000,000 underneath it or something. Another could be "Terrible Summer Leads to Terrible Fall? You'll Get Used To It" with a Preds logo or something.

Just an idea to have a little fun with this whole thing.

heh, 'I'm locked out from hockey, but not booze.'

I think the Thrasher transfers have an easy theme.

Yeah I'd say the Thrashers fans don't have to put a lot of thought into theirs :laugh: :cry:

edit: moved this to its own thread to see if people like it. If it gets a good enough response I'll include a poll. If not then it'll die in obscurity like the rest of my threads :laugh:

If only we still had Goc...

"Lock out with your Goc out."

Haha I'm not sure if that one would fly for very long, but it's funny

Brilliant

Samples coming soon courtesy of Sharks mod slocal.

that's friggin' brilliant

love it.

How about some avatars featuring minor league teams such as the Ads, Cyclones, Gladiators and such with the wording: Lockout? What Lockout?

Hey that works, too.

Can I get one with Chris Johnson and Weber diving into a pile of gold/money?

Possibly. Do you want it animated, or just 'shopped?

Ha... These are great. Love the NFL ref one. Any chance of a Thrasher/Preds tie-in?

Animated if possible, but either is fine.

I'll send a PM to slocal. I can't make them myself, but if he is OK with requests I'll let you guys know. I would say post them in here, though, so we aren't lighting up his PM box.

AW, anything more specific on a Thrashers tie-in? Something about "It's OK. There's always next season..." in the Preds font followed by a Thrashers logo, or would that be too harsh?

OK we might need to recruit a Preds fan who can make avatars. slocal is going to be pretty busy for a while.

Oh and sorry. I forgot those avatars I posted are bigger than normal. I'll see if I can shrink them down in case anyone who isn't a sponsor can use them if they want.

A Predmiral avatar so we can pay attention to the AHL

Not at all. You seem to have some real good ideas flowing, so whatever you think is clever. Thanks :)

One I made.

Not a lockout avi, but can someone please photoshop me a picture of Roman Josi with Yoshi's head that says "Joshi #59" on it? Thanks so much. Wish I had photoshop skills.
