The top one is a winner. It really pops!

Hi, Tracy. The bottom panel is just some boring details on how you can play The Glad Winning Line Game. (No purchase necessary. Requests must be received by October 31, 1986. So hurry to enter!) Just red and black type on a yellow background. Not really worth a photo. Hope this helps.

I am also interested in vintage packaging. I wondered what the bottom panel of the carton of small garbage bags looks like (it is not pictured on your flickr site). If you are able to post a photo, that would be great. If not, no worries.

decidedly “maximalist”…I love that.

You can’t just slap some paint on a canvas and expect anything great, much like gardening where you can’t stick a seed in the ground and expect a bountiful crop. Great post!

Do you mean the Canadiens’ third jersey — the retro mega-stripe spectacular — or the Blackhawks’? Might have to glue the Canadiens’ stripes into a painting, with the Maple Leafs’ interlocking-stripe socks going the opposite direction.

I’ve always liked the Islanders’ jerseys — navy, orange and white. And I like the Bruins’ throwback sweater — the one they wore at Fenway. Gotta love the old-school Canucks shirts, with the V pattern, too!

I probably should have stated my presence a little sooner than this. Alas. Is good. Shoot me an e-mail.

In terms of a great blend of on-ice colour, I’d go with Montreal v. Chicago, but only in that great third sweater of theirs. Or Sweden v. Finland. Or Sweden against anybody, really.

Ha! What it is, Uno? Those are horrible colors, indeed. Proof that the NHL shouldn’t have expanded, or let the North Stars move to Dallas all those years ago. The color combo deserves a thrashing in stripegenerator.

Minnesota Wild v. Atlanta.

This one would be more fun if both teams were wearing their home uniforms:

Yikes.
