We talked about the calendar at length during episode #4 of the stlbluesradio.com podcast.

The calendar is a big deal to folks. It's a tradition, like the Maxwell House coffee mug night.
I wouldn't hang that calendar in my office, because I don't make a habit of hanging up photos of metrosexuals posing next to cars. It looks like something made for high school girls who think hockey players are hot.
Ugh.

And if the posing with the Ford cars wasn't bad enough...the photoshop work is terrible.

Worst Blues calendar ever. No question.

That's really a bad calendar.

And Curt, you are spot on. My first thought was how bad the photoshop work was.

It is disrespectful to sell out the calendar that way. The could have let ford sponsor it without being completely unrelated to hockey.

Talking about those coffee mugs, those mugs last year were a disgrace. I had 3 of them and all of them had some sort of flaw on them.

And with this year calendar, like everyone else I don't care for the Ford pimping their shit through out the whole thing, but I don't care. It gives me what I want. A calendar that has the Blues games listed on there.

This! I too had three...all flawed (in printing) . Plus one handle broke off the first time I held it and another was already chipped.

That in itself was no big deal, but win combined with the calendar debacle it reeks of disrespect for your fan base.

As a long time ticket holder (both season and smaller plans) this has been a growing trend throughout the organization and I for one am hoping a change in ownership may fix this at least a little. I thought fan appreciation was a strong suit of the Dollar Dave regimen early one but it has continued deteriorate over the last few years.

Speaking of Fan Appreciation, one of the first things Checketts did away with was giving a voucher for a free ticket the following year on the last game of the regular season. I can put the mug thing on the Maxwell House people as far as quality control, but the creative concept on the calendars should have to be signed off on by someone within the organ-i-zation. Who should be fired immediately.

No matter how you pass the blame, the point is this organization has become complacent with the overwhelming fan support. And it's a young exciting team, so it won't hurt them at the ticket office.....but that doesn't make it right.
