Renaming The Harbor Club?


SDS

Recommended Posts

Posted

I like The Harbor Club personally, it makes me feel like I'm on a classy message board for some reason. B-)

 

maybe:

 

Above the Baffles

 

Behind the Bench

 

Over The Glass

 

Washington and Perry

 

The Concourse

 

Seymour's

I like "Adams Division". "From the Point" is very cool too.

 

Some more:

-Along The Boards

-Hit Parade

-The Aud Club (Ha, not very original)

-The Give and Go

-Hits the Post

 

 

oh well, my 2cents!

I didn't like the current name at first, and while I still don't love it, at least there is a Sabres connection ... I think we need to have that ... general hockey terms won't cut it, IMO ...

 

I like the idea of an Aud reference, but "The Aud" doesn't really fit ... there's only one Aud, and this ain't it.

 

How about "The Upper Blues" ... or "Blues and Golds" .....

I may, allegedly, off the record, have access to hi-res wire photos taken inside the Aud when they did the tour a few weeks back ... playing around with them in photoshop I am sure we could come up with a cool header incorporating the appropriate seats into the background ....

 

Actually, and it would be a huge sacrifice for one of our fellow posters ... but "That Aud Smell" is really perfect.

i started toying around with knox-themed ideas as well - haven't come up with anything, though.

agreed.

 

"Blues and Golds" .....

there's something to this -- i like how it gives a nod to the colors and the old joint at the same time -- there's also a way in which it suggests a blending of just about all segments of the fanbase (if only we could fold in some reference to the oranges in a way that makes sense).

awh, shucks. thanks, pipes. i can say without hesitation that i'd gladly surrender the screen name for such a noble cause, but i know full well i'd never be called on to do so. (i've posted it before, but striking on that name when i joined the board was like something out of a dream -- i'm not ashamed to say i'm genuinely proud of it.)

Face-off circle?

I think Harbor Club is fine, but if Scott is going to change it, this gets my vote.

 

A few other suggestions that pale in comparison to Inky's but conjure memories of the Aud are

 

Terrace Street Entrance

Blue (or Orange) Level SRO

Upper Gold (or Lower Blue) Beer Rail

Closed Circuit Scoreboard

or

The Crossroads Suite.

This reminds me that I argued vehemently for "Harbour Club 300." With the "u."

 

I think the name has to somehow combine an actual physical location associated with the Sabres and their fans and the virtual place where we "live."

 

Anyone else keep trying to scroll their screen up to see the rest of the player up there? It is pretty cool.

Adams Division

Penalty Box

Cherry Pickers

Delayed Offsides

400 Level

...thats all I got. The tank is empty.

I like Penalty Box but with a twist. How about "In The Box"? More than one meaning. <_<

Hits the Post or Off the Post... Like it... honorable mention to faceoff circle..

Off the post sounds more like off-topic stuff.

 

Which would dovetail nicely with Off the Wall on the Bills side... Good observation.

Speaking of which, my second choice behind "The Face-Off Circle" is "Between the Pipes". :lol:

Really I think "Center Ice" is misplaced. So to me "Center Ice" should be replaced with something generic like "Sabres Talk" or "Hockey Room" and then the board itself should be "Center Ice" or "Along The Boards" or whatever.

 

 

as far as a name ... "The Orange Seats" or something respectful to the aud would be fun.

Yeah I like "Blues and Golds" too ... not to pat myself on the back, but that's what I would vote for I think. But whatever, we could call it "SabreSpace Message Board" and I woudl still post ... in fact thats' what I do call it most of the time ....

exactly... which means I've done a poor job of creating an identity for you fine folks here. You'inz deserve better.

I think he meant 5-Hole... ;)

 

Actually, that would be my goalie roommate.

 

Yes, I'm going to completely avoid what you were going for with that comment. :unsure:

Eh, I would not say that, SDS ... If someone asked me what board I post on, and I said "SabreSpace," I think they would know exactly what I mean if they frequent Sabres boards and would find it easy to join in if they were looking for one to join. I would put this community up against any, I don't think we are anonymous.
