You can always pick out veteran hockey hounds by the color of Sharpie marker they use. Though black and silver Sharpies can serve useful purposes, it's the old reliable -- the blue Sharpie fine point marker -- that gets the lion's share of the work.
And, in this case, blue Sharpies gained the lion's share of the votes, as Hound Central 5.0 readers overwhelmingly picked that color as the one most often handed to hockey players to sign photos and cards.
Question: Favorite Sharpie color?
Blue: 15 votes out of 20 cast (75 percent)
Black: 3 votes (15 percent)
Silver: 2 votes (10 percent)

A quick question....
ReplyDeleteI have a puck that I am planning on using for a first place prize in our hockey pool this year.
I'd like to have all of the participants sign it come the end of the season.
Any suggestions for a pen to use that is a little thinner and will show up well. I'm leaning towards a gold color (although I like the blue you have used in the past as well.
Thanks!
Hey, Brett, it looks like we're trading comments. I just left a couple for you, too.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, DecoColor makes an Liquid Gold Extra Fine paint marker in gold that offers wicked thin signatures.

I used those early on, but they didn't work as well as I liked when the signer held the pen at an angle.
For our single-signed pucks, we use DecoColor's "Fine Line" model. It's a little thicker line, though.
