(Carle) Everything I do. Rookie mistake

I wasn't a fan of the idea but you've changed my mind. I like this better than the Keep Calm theme.

If we're going to do this, we should try to avoid a repeat of last year. We should vote on a theme quickly to come to a decision. Also, I don't think we should count on Jules to make these. Someone else will have to step up. I would, but I don't even possess rudimentary photoshop skills.

I think I like the Rookie Mistake one best

Rely on Simmonds to injure me? Rookie mistake.

Put a Coke machine in my way? Rookie mistake.

Pass to me? Rookie mistake. (Guess who?)

Eating on our table? Rookie mistake.

I'm going to start my lobby campaign for "Rookie Mistake" It continues our rich playoff avatar tradition with a similar vibe/wit we've had for the prior 2 postseason runs. I think the virus idea has merits but I'm also factoring in the time it will take for Jules and co. to "Zombify" all the avatars. Personally I think Rookie mistake is the true no brainer (pun intended)

Hollywood Couturier · 03-20-2012, 10:45 AM

Jules doesn't really post here anymore so I don't think she's doing avatars...

**Prongo** · 03-20-2012, 10:57 AM

Is there anyway someone can do one for me? The rookie mistake theme?

(Giroux) Give me open ice? Rookie mistake? OR! (Giroux) Give me room to dangle! Rookie Mistake. I like the second one better!

Or something along those lines? I am not good at coming up with these things on my own

Roo Mad Bro · 03-20-2012, 11:26 AM

Going to use the Keep Calm and Dangle On avatar.

Love it.

edit: What the hell? My avatar just says "keep calm"...nothing else appears for me.

Subject Orange · 03-20-2012, 11:54 AM

Im fairly terrible at photoshoping...but random image I put together over lunch.

Obviously needs work, maybe text.

cheesesteak · 03-20-2012, 12:18 PM

@roo mad bro I don't know why it's doing that. Did you copy the image URL, or save/upload it? edit: try this one

Here goes some font effects we could choose from. I used the rookie mistake idea for these examples.

There's gotta be a picture of Couturier in there somewhere. I don't know where, but we gotta figure it out.

How about:

Picture of Couturier
"Let me drop to the 8th pick?"
Flyers Logo/Cup + "ROOKIE MISTAKE"

Also, the second to last has the best font/color scheme imo.

First one, I think, is best color scheme.

Can the background be orange instead of white? looks goofy to me.

I agree with the first one being the best one... unless you go with the Orange background, of course.

Saw it posted above and I must ask, what is the story behind the Lavy/Coke Machine joke going around?

PALE PWNR · 03-20-2012, 02:54 PM

Those look badass cheese

If those are the ones we are doing would it be possible to get something along the lines of "Traded for our Captain?" Schenn Rookie Mistake

Chris Shafer · 03-20-2012, 02:59 PM

I kind of want:

Coke machine in the locker room?

Rookie mistake.

If it can be done, I'd like to get an avatar of:

(Max Talbot)

"Think I just kill penalties?

Rookie Mistake"

Then a picture of Talbot's grinning face

Cuiffitelli · 03-20-2012, 03:36 PM

Can someone please make me one 17 + 18 = one one side and 93 +17 +14 +10 and the words Homer is great at Math on the other?

This is awesome

RespectTheMajor · 03-20-2012, 03:47 PM

I'm really liking the Rookie Mistake ones, any chance I can get one that isn't animated they aren't working for me

Someone correct me if I have the wrong series in mind.

I believe it was during the 4-1 series victory over the Devils. After one of the periods Lavi went rageface / orange crush all over a coke machine.

freakydallas13 · 03-20-2012, 04:57 PM

I too support the rookie mistake ones

Jray42 · 03-20-2012, 05:12 PM

I place my vote behind the Rookie Mistake theme.
