I like the first of the yellow ones, the second of the orange ones and the second of the red and black ones. But the red and black is not an option IMO because of the severe clash with Canterbury colours.
Can I make a serious suggestion which may or may not be very popular with a certain existing team? How about Phantoms as a name? Not an animal, kinda funky name, moderately scary and lends itself well to creating a sophisticated logo.
I don’t like the blue and gold islanders colours as they look too Otago’ish to me. And the “Hockey Club Dunedin” doesn’t sound right to me. We’re technically not a club as we’re an association, in theory we can have a bunch of smaller clubs operating within the association, but we’re not ‘technically’ a club. That’s why we’re called the “Dunedin Ice Hockey Association”. Plus Kyle’s right, it’d really need to be DIHC, which would just sound wrong as an acronym!
Ryan,
Good job Ryan.

The best option for posting this type of stuff on the net is generally JPEGs although you will get some compression errors showing up. If you have any trouble just send them to me in an email and I’ll upload them directly the site for you.

I clearly don’t understand copyright then!
So could I publish the entire ODT news paper online then? Scan the whole thing and upload it?

Ryan,
I never actually checked the IP, I just recognised the name Shaw, my old ISP. And no, there’s not really anyway to track it down accurately. The Canadian police could, but I have sneaking suspicion they wouldn’t be interested in tracking down our mystery poster <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt="

And welcome to the forum Pauly <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="” title=”Smiley” />Ryan,
We have a serious last minute problem. We may not have the key to get the goalie gear! So if any of you are planning to play in goal then it may pay to bring regular gear too as you may not be able to!
Sorry about this. There’s a long story as to why I can’t get the key but I can’t be bothered typing it out.
Ryan,
Chris, I think you meant

Though originally only beef, popular meats today also include chicken, pork and shrimp. In restaurants, the meat is often cooked with onions and bell peppers. Popular condiments are sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, cheese, and tomato.
In Spanish, fajita is the diminutive form of the word faja which translates to “belt” or “girdle” in English. Butchers along the Texas border with Mexico used the word to refer to the diaphragm muscle of a steer. Researchers found references to Hispanic ranch hands eating this cut of beef in a tortilla with condiments as early as the 1930s but the word fajita is not known to have appeared in print until 1975.
The cut is known in the U.S. as the skirt steak, and remains popular for making fajitas. In fact, many purists insist that only skirt steak can be used for making fajitas, and that the use of other meats, such as chicken, constitutes another dish altogether. Regardless, use of the word fajita has evolved from the term for a cut of beef to include the cooking method (thus chicken fajita) and also to define the grilled strips of peppers and onions that usually accompany the meat.
Sonny Falcon is believed to have operated the first commercial fajita taco stand at a weeklong outdoor event in Kyle, Texas in 1969. He also went to rodeos, fairs, and outdoor festivals selling his fajita taco. An Austin reporter christened him “The Fajita King” and Falcon was able to trademark the name.
The food became popular in restaurants such as Ninfa’s and other Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston and San Antonio, Texas. Ninfa’s originally called the dish tacos al carbon and later tacos a la Ninfa before using the term fajita.
In many restaurants, the fajita meat is brought to the table sizzling loudly on a metal platter or skillet, with the tortillas and condiments served on the side. This presentation is credited to Chef George Weidmann, chef of the Hyatt Regency La Vista restaurant in Austin, Texas. The “sizzling fajita” was created by Weidmann in 1982.
