Branding and attendance

Just because I’m tired of hearing about a certain family, I have two questions. 

Are the retro Dukes 70s uniforms, the main uniform?  I like those uniforms but I don’t think they make much sense from a marketing or branding standpoint.  The merchandise they sell with the current logo is different than uniforms.  Not certain why they would be doing that unless planning a logo change.   Any thoughts?   

Also, we would all like to see increased attendance this year.   I like them moving game times to 5:30 so to not have to deal with the Penguins traffic. 

I know Palumbo won’t be filled on Saturday.  But I hope we can get at least 2,000 for the opener.   And a real 2,000 people.  Modest goal but reachable.  Anyone have an attendance prediction for opener?

I always liked those uniforms. If they're using them because they like the look, I have no problem with them. If they're doing it to remind us of a great era, then that's the wrong uniform, as we weren't anything special when we wore them. Personally, I prefer the 50s style over everything else.

Re: Branding and attendance

I was hoping for more than 2,000 but because the opponent isn't a brand name I think that would be a fair assessment as far as attendance.  It also depends on what is going on that night in the city.
