The WHA Begins: A Quickstart

ThatSeventiesGuy · 09-02-2020, 02:38 AM

Just what the name implies, starts with the 1972-73 season, includes all NHL and WHA logos and uniforms, accurate rosters for the start of the season, and facegens for nearly all the active players, coaches, GMs, and owners.

Here's the link. Enjoy!

Just the facegens, if that's all you need:

Posting some jerseys I made here. Of varying quality, use 'em if you like, if you can do better, please post 'em! First off, the colorful mid-70s Flyers farm club. The only one of these I did home and away for, since I liked the color scheme.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:01 PM

I thought this one turned out pretty good, considering there weren't many pics to work off of. One year (1974-75) only, last gasp of the old AHL Cleveland Barons after the Jacksonville move.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:02 PM

Early '70s Sabres affiliate with some nice-looking duds.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:05 PM

Another short-lived Cape Cod hockey entry.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:09 PM

Duds for more than one 1970s version of this franchise.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:12 PM

Bruins affiliate through '73-'74. Not sure where they got that wordmark, but I think lawyers for a certain former Boston baseball team in the National League might have a case...

Grab a mug of Grog and enjoy this '70s entry featuring Johnny Hart's long running comic strip caveman, B.C.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:19 PM

1970s Islanders farm club.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:21 PM

Huh, suddenly I'm hungry for a candy bar.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:24 PM

Put on this jersey...and the foil!

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:26 PM

Affiliate of the Indianapolis Racers, among others.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:28 PM

1970s affiliate for the Isles and Stars.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:30 PM

Their look during their days as an Atlanta Flames affiliate.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:34 PM

Quirky 1970s Western League club.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:35 PM

1970s look for the Rangers farm club and longtime AHL member.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:37 PM

The rather politically incorrect by today's standards sweater for the 1970s NAHL team.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:40 PM

1970s affiliate of the California Golden Seals.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:41 PM

Early Canucks farm and rival of the aforementioned Buckaroos.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 10-17-2020, 05:43 PM

1970s Maple Leafs farm club.
