Being a lifelong Pittsburgh Penguins fan, I've noticed lately that since the arrival of Sidney Crosby, there's a lot of fair weathered friends out there.
We had quite a few bad years with budget problems, but a great group of fans stuck around no matter what. We put up with the flack. However, now when I post my avatar as a Pens logo, I receive "Go Pens!" where I used to get "They suck!" Imagine that.
So lately I've been wanting to show my support as a TRUE fan, and also give credit to Sidney Crosby for yet again making us legit. It's not his work alone, but he is definitely the spark plug of the team currently, and his NHL Draft Day was a very exciting event. Possibly the greatest since Mario Lemieux.
I'm a guitarist in the band Thundercracker, and I've always wanted a custom paint job on my guitar, but those will set you back a few bucks. Now, I've started working again at Modesto's Sign Shop (in Ardmore, OK) and have the ability to use the equipment for designing said guitar.
So using my tools of the trade at the shop, I took my ESP Viper (baritone) and made it a custom. I still have to re-equip a couple of pieces of hardware and clear coat the guitar, but here is the image.
As any TRUE Penguins fan would know, Sidney Crosby made his impact prior to Draft Day with the Rimouski Oceanic hockey club. Given my guitar is a dark, dark blue - I elected to go this route. I used their logo and the rest is history...
LET'S GO PENS!!!
