Does Hockey Arenas Get Cold

[kphoger]

Why do they even let female deer have hockey arenas? And how do they make them cold?

No, no, that's the name of the team.

No, no, that's the name of the team.

There was a women's basketball with that name in Milwaukee in the late 1970s/early 1980s.

Why?  This is about sports arenas, and I'm pretty sure the question of whether they're cold has little to do with the efficiency of their HVAC systems and more to do with the fact that they have, you know, ice (and not the federal kind).

Funny enough, the Bucks used the purple color scheme during their early-90s rebrand.

Back to the subject, I've been to both United Center and Staples Center, and noticed that the former is located in a more ideal climate than the latter. It can be -20 below outside in Chicago, and the inside temperature is slightly less cold (which suits the Blackhawks just fine), while in L.A., even if it's 70 outside, it can be a challenge to keep the colder temps inside while the Kings are playing.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why that's funny?

The Pistons had a teal rebrand in the 1990s.  It was poorly received and they went back to their original blue/red scheme a couple years later.  It generally is not looked at with much fondness and referred to as the Teal Era:

I know teal and purple were the unofficial color scheme of the 1990s, but the NBA in particular really went nuts with it for a while. The expansion Hornets, Raptors, and Grizzlies all used one or both of those colors, and the Bucks and Pistons weren't the only teams to bring in teal or purple only to ditch it a decade later. The Utah Jazz are an especially funny example, because while they had used purple since the beginning, they brought in teal to go with in 1996, only to abandon both colors by 2010.

You have to admit the horse is way cooler than their current not-horse logo though.

I didn't dislike the horse but I can see why it wasn't retained when the color scheme switched back.  I still have a teal jersey sitting in my closet and I have worn it to a couple Pistons games.

I still don't understand how the Bucks using purple in the early 90s is funny.

An actual deer colored purple would be. Maybe that's what he was getting at?

Apparently they did make a horse with the non-teal color scheme.
