sundstrom Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The banner they raised to the rafters - the font on the #2 is wrong. I can't add a picture from the game but I'm sure there are pics online. I can't explain it properly but where the diagonal part of the two raises up to the right from the bottom of the number - on the banner it stops short and forms a straight line up. The font of the devils #2 does not do this. In fact, the replica banner they gave out got it right. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshockey247 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If you check the devils website and look in the background you can kind of see the straight line on it. I guess it just looks weird when it is blown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCdevil Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 That's the 2nd thing that I noticed. The first is that the numbers are inconsistent between Stevens and Niedermayer. Stevens played his last game on 1/7/04 and retired on 9/7/05. His banner has 2005 as the last year. Niedermayer played his last game as a Devil on 4/17/04 and signed with Anaheim on 8/4/05. His banner has 2004 as the last year. They should either both say 2004 (when they played their last games) or 2005 (when they stopped being active members of the Devils).

I caught that immediately, as I'm sure many others did. It's also correct in the limited edition print BTW, as well as the mini-replica. It wouldn't surprise me if the company that manufactured the banner was at fault, and by the time the banner was delivered to the Devils, it was simply too late to do anything about it. I'm pretty sure if WE noticed it, THEY must have noticed it too. I also find it hard to believe they would've have specified the incorrect font when placing the order. The whole thing IS unfortunate...if anything, I would love for the Devils to order a replacement with the correct font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing IS unfortunate...if anything, I would love for the Devils to order a replacement with the correct font. I'm not so sure about the 7. I know that now, our 7 looks a little different (ie, the top right corner is angled), but if you look at pictures of 2004 and before, the 7 on the jerseys is like the one on the banner, so I think that at least is correct.
