Title: HEX Post by: Senna on September 22, 2004, 11:59:16 AM Just trying to find info about HEX?
Title: HEX Post by: Photog on September 22, 2004, 12:02:19 PM they have a matrix inspired logo where they use the Matrix Reloaded font, but unfortunately, their jersey color is blue on white. one would think it would be green and/or blue on black. i have to look away whenever i see them because they make me sad. :cry:
Sorry, I'm just a huge Matrix Fan. :lol: Title: Re: HEX Post by: DBWTim on September 22, 2004, 04:04:45 PM Quote from: Senna Just trying to find info about HEX? What would you like to know about them? They've been around for at least a couple years now. I think I can remember them as far back as 2001. I believe they travelled to Calgary in 2002. This year they were... - 2nd in the Rec D Consolation in Vancouver, roughly 98th overall out of 151 participating teams. - 2nd in White Consolation in Richmond, roughly 22nd out of 42 participating teams. - 2nd in Silver Championship, roughly 58th overall out of 110 participating teams. They're pretty much a recreational team. I know a couple of the paddlers there.

a much better color scheme for a matrix themed team, imho. :P Title: HEX Post by: zephyrantes on October 04, 2004, 06:21:00 PM maybe PHOTOG can help us out with this one...
I believe that the movie MATRIX RELOADED was inspired BY the team, HEX RELOADED? Can you confirm this, Photog? :twisted: :P Title: HEX Post by: Photog on October 04, 2004, 07:11:37 PM Quote from: zephyrantes maybe PHOTOG can help us out with this one...

Title: HEX Post by: Photog on October 07, 2004, 09:26:03 PM Quote from: zephyrantes how about a HEX team picture? that would be sweet, I saw a couple of HEX members sign up in the board lately. hopefully they can help in this regard and even perhaps post some pics in the hottest paddler/team thread! :P Title: HEX Post by: zephyrantes on October 08, 2004, 04:30:57 PM photog: you gotta have a pic somewhere of the HEX team..
Title: hex Post by: kono_imo on October 09, 2004, 01:11:07 AM Just to clarify the Hex Reloaded fiasco for all you interested folks. It used to be an HSBC sponsored team. When HSBC pulled the sponsorship, a few dedicated paddlers of the Hex team continued on the tradition and filled the roster with their own friends and close ones. To signify a new boat, a new culture, and a new attitude the term 'Reloaded' was added on. It sure was like a new breath of life for the team. Every year, the team has slowly become stronger as a unit and as paddlers. We paddle hard, we party even harder...
And such is how "Hex Reloaded" came about. As for the jersey and the movie color mismatch, I don't think its such a big deal. Personally we like the color gold better. It brings out our mocha skin tone for sure... An even lighter shade of brown. Kelowna 2004 was a good festival for the Hex team. kono_imo<-- Title: HEX Post by: paddleboy on October 09, 2004, 09:36:45 AM Hmmmm ...................why do those pictures remind me of mud wrestling :think:
I like her t-shirt ..........my kinda gurl :wink: Title: HEX Post by: Photog on October 09, 2004, 01:23:45 PM Background info and history sure clears up things a bit.
and you're probably right about the color mismatch being a good thing. that way you stay below the radar in regards to copyright infingement, not that WB would really care anyways. There are plenty of little league baseball/softball teams out there with "Looney Toons" text and images all over their jerseys and I'm sure they don't pay royalties. :wink: and boy, you guys really do know how to party. :D and again, sorry, but I'm just a huge Matrix Fan. 8) Title: HEX Post by: zephyrantes on October 09, 2004, 04:12:13 PM thanks for the info and the pics!
