You can see some other memorial patches from Dodgers history here. That one had “Newk,” so the Dodgers have now used three different name formats for this patch series - nickname, first name, and surname (click to enlarge): The patch design matches the one that the Dodgers used for their Don Newcombe patch in 2019. I understand the thinking behind using the more intimate, familiar name for Lasorda, but it’s still a bit odd to see the two identically styled patches positioned next to each other with differing name protocols. Interestingly, Lasorda’s patch features his first name while Sutton’s has his surname. In memoriam: The Dodgers introduced newly acquired pitcher Trevor Bauer yesterday, and in so doing also revealed their new memorial patches for Tommy Lasorda and Don Sutton. The Golden Knights also wore Chinese New Year pregame jerseys, complete with Chinese-lettered NOBs: The helmets weren’t the only uni-notable aspect of that game. The bright, shiny lids feel like a stylistic mismatch, at least to me. Moreover, they don’t match the feel of the uniforms, because the Golden Knights’ unis (which I generally like) are based on muted colors - the dark grey, the Vegas gold. The helmets don’t match the shade of gold used on the team’s uniforms. This was a fun idea, and I wish I could totally get behind it, but I don’t love the way it turned out. There are lots of additional photos here, and here are some video highlights so you can see how the helmets looked in action (if the embed below doesn’t work for you, look here): But while the silver lids often looked tarnished or dirty depending on how the light hit them, Vegas’s gold helmets really popped last night, creating a visual effect that was a bit like Notre Dame’s gold football helmets (for all photos, you can click to enlarge): The Golden Knights’ AHL affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights, have also worn silver lids this season. A year ago (almost to the day!), the Kings wore silver buckets for their Stadium Series game against the Avalanche. There’s some precedent for metallic NHL helmets. On a recent visit, we learned the game had been moved off property for the weekend to make room for a party the night before (sad face with a tear emoji).Surprise development last night in Las Vegas, as the Golden Knights came out in metallic gold helmets - a move that, to my knowledge, was not announced in advance. Pro-tip: Call before you go to ensure the bubble hockey table is there. There are tons of other vintage games to enjoy here and the '80s soundtrack is a nice touch. And unlike Free Play's Richardson sister location, the Arlington one has a bubble hockey table near the front of the building by the bar, which features several taps of local beer and serves paninis and pizzas. Similar to Cidercade, $10 gets you in the door here to have your run of the place. Bishop Cidercade, 2777 Irving Blvd., Dallas.įree Play Arcade Zackery Verner (9) and Oliver Bench (10) play bubble hockey at Free Play in Arlington.On a recent weekend, the games went by quickly and we had plenty of turns to play, and even took on some strangers who became fast friends. Pro-tip: Saturday nights are often packed here, so be prepared to grab a pint of the Dreamsicle orange and vanilla cider or Dark Cide black currant cider and claim a spot in line behind the players at the table.
