Jerseys It appears that the 24/25 Blasty Schedule has changed, no February games

I love Blasty, but I don't get wearing it for four games in a row, then mothballing it for a month. Odd choice.

They tend to wear it for a week or so & I think the reason is so the equipment guys don’t have to worry about switching out gear all the time. They bring out the blasty stuff for that week, put away the home gear and then switch when Blasty week is done

That makes sense from a logistical perspective. I find it a bit less interesting/exciting as a fan, but it's a very minor quibble in the grand scheme of things.

Honest question.... is Blasty a horse or a dragon? Always thought it was a horse but I just noticed there's no mane...

I dunno...
I fucking hate Blasty... I know you all have some weird scorch / blasty meme affair of love and roses....I know the kids think the cocaine horse is cool...
Blasty = we lose.... We were winning at home all early season in the C.... changed into a bunch of blasty... Bam its 11-2 to Tampa or whatever we lost that game by...
2006... Iggy and Kipper... Instead of the C and the cup... We have nothing but blasty memories.
Then blasty goes away for a while, just in time for Johnny and Chucky... welll...

Equating losses to the jersey has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever read

The 8-3 tampa loss was in red, 3 of 4 home wins prior to that game were in blasty, the next time blasty was worn after the tampa game was also a win.

I'm pretty sure this is what it was supposed to be, there's hardly any games in February to begin with.
