Jon Hamm is Here to Kill John Connor

Here's the latest commercial for the Blues. Personally, I don't watch Mad Men, but enough people do to warrant Jon Hamm to pitch his scripted love of hockey.



WOW! Now that's a St. Louis hockey fan! He must be a big fan, because he lived in the suburbs of St. Louis. I can relate to him and his love of the team! 2 season tickets, please. Wait, what has he had for 15 years?



Now that is a dirty hat. It must be 15 years old, because look how dirty that is. You can't fake that.

Unless you realize that he logo on the hat did not exist 15 years ago. In 1994, the Blues used this Bluenote:



The Blues first used the logo on "his" hat in 1997, on what was then a third jersey. In 1998, the third jersey became the new home jersey, and the Bluenote on Jon Hamm's dirty, 15 year old hat became the primary logo. More importantly, 15 years ago the Scottrade Center was opened as the Kiel Center, a work stoppage delayed the start of the hockey season, and the Blues introduced a practical joke of a jersey. Red/blue/yellow/white with a diagonal musical staff and wacky number shapes.



I should stop, because Jon Hamm either (a) read from a script in which somebody who knows nothing about the St. Louis Blues was put in charge of writing the script for this ad, or more likely (b) Jon Hamm bought a hat in the future and was sent back in time to ensure that humanity as we know it will end. Maybe he could start with person that wrote his script?
