ORIGINAL POST
Tomorrow night the Jackets take on the Anaheim Ducks.
What you may not have known is tomorrow night is also the annual CBJ schedule magnet night down at Nationwide. This is a night I haven't missed since I've lived in CBus.
Hey, we leave no CBJ rock unturned on this blog!
C'mon... I can't be the only one who has these suckers lined on my cube cabinets at work and man fridge at home.... right?
I know there have been magnets released in the past 6 of 7 seasons. I know because I have em. There was no magnet issued in the inaugural year of 2000-2001 or during the 2004-2005 season due to the lockout
In honor of magnet night here is a look at the past 8 magnets handed out:
2001-2002
2002-2003
2003-2004
2004-2005
No magnet issued due to lockout.
2005-2006
2006-2007
2007-2008
2008-2009
2009-2010
2010 - 2011
2011 - 2012
Now some magnet analysis:
* Players featured:
Rick Nash (4 years)
Marc Denis (1 year)
Adam Foote (1 year)
Derick Brassard (1 year)
Ray Whitney (1 year)
* No players featured in 2001-2002 or 2007-2008
* Sponsors:
Donatos (5 years)
Giant Eagle (1 year)
Bank One (3 years)
Papa Johns (1 year)
* 4 vertical and 6 horizontal
* Slogans:
All Out All Season (1 year)
Ignite the Night (2 year)
Jackets Time (2 years)
Carry The Flag (2 years)
Gotta See It Live (2 years)
*No slogan listed in 2008-2009
*Both the Twitter and Facebook logos were added for the first time in 2011-2012.
Out of that group I'm gonna have to go with 2008-2009 as my favorite design. Despite the throwback feel - some of those earlier magnets remind me of just how brutal that old logo was.
GO SCHEDULE MAGNET NIGHT!
