Hi everyone! This week, I’m happy to announce the results of the Seals/Barons Uniform Playoff. I have to admit I was a little surprised by what I discovered. THirty percent of voters picked the Seals 1969-70 road uniform as their favorite, but personally, It’s probably my least favorite of all Seals and Barons uniforms (and there were a LOT of those over their seventeen years of existence!). I always preferred those used from 1967-69, especially the dark green “California Seals” jerseys from their inaugural season, before the team filled in the “C” and made it into a big “O”. For those of you who have heard the podcasts I have done the last few months, I mentioned a few times how I saw a black and white photo of George Swarbrick in the May 1988 issue of Hockey Illustrated, and that photo is what really got me interested in the Seals in the first place. I also like the Seals’ home whites used from 1974-76, and the Charlie FInley-inspired canary-yellow uniforms have always held a special place in my heart since they are the ones almost everyone thinks of when they hear the words “Golden Seals” but it was in fact the ’69-’70 uni that garnered 30% of the vote. That being said, the winner, however (by just ONE vote) is the 1974-76 Pacific blue road uniform! Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote!

In the end, this is how you all voted:

1966-67 California Seals WHL road uniform: 13.3%

1969-70 Oakland Seals road uniform: 30%

1971-74 California Golden Seals home uniform: 16.67%

1974-76 California Golden Seals road uniform: 33%

1976-77 Cleveland Barons home uniform: 6.5%

With the NHL regular season now a memory (if you’re a Canadiens fan like me, it was a bad one), the Stanley Cup playoffs are now underway, and to celebrate the first ever playoff appearance and win of the surprising Vegas Golden Knights, we present to you the latest induction into the Hockey Hall of Shame’s Overexposed wing. This card features more bright neon pink than should be legally permitted in a hockey photo.

I’ve also added a brand new survey to the site, which you will want to check out. This time, I would like you to tell me which individual achievement you consider the greatest in franchise history. I’ve put up 9 suggestions, but feel free to add your own, and in a few weeks I’ll reveal the results.

You can also keep voting for your picks for the Seals Hall of Fame by clicking on your choice of player or personality on the right. Like last year, the inductees will be announced in July around the site’s second anniversary.

Until next time, stay gold!
