Rob Zombie’s planned Broad Street Bullies film is on hold, he said in a Reddit AMA on Thursday. This confirms a February report from Nerdist in which Zombie said the following regarding a new film that’s taken priority over the Bullies film: “I’d been working on this hockey film for over two years, it took…
Over at the indispensable Icethetics blog, designer Matt McElroy has created soccer kits for every single team in the NHL. You see the Flyers ones above, and they’re not bad. But some of the other ones he created are downright amazing. Here are my three favorites. All are Original 6 teams, which might not be…
