Its been 30 years since Run-DMC was at its height, but the group once dubbed the Beatles of hip-hop by Rolling Stone is still plenty relevant.The latest evidence was on Fifth Avenue in New York City on Wednesday, as Fanatics -- the largest retailer of licensed sports merchandise -- announced a deal with Run-DMC that takes NFL, NBA and NHL colors and logos and incorporates the famous Run-DMC logo with its familiar bars and font for use on hats, T-shirts and sweatshirts.This isnt just for the people who lived in the 80s and 90s, said Raphael Peck, president of Fanatics Branded, the companys in-house merchandise division. Weve found that millennials are tapping into nostalgia now. There are 14-, 15- and 16-year-old kids who know who Run-DMC is.I sat down with Darryl DMC McDaniels, who along with Joseph Reverend Run Simmons -- the younger brother of Def Jam cofounder Russell Simmons -- and the late Jason Jam Master Jay Mizell made up the group.That Run-DMC logo, which is from your 1986 single My Adidas, is so iconic. Who made it?DMC: There was this art director that was with Russell and Def Jam named Cey Adams -- he was in his early 20s and came up with it. I tell people its the third-most iconic logo -- McDonalds, Coke and then us.Might be a couple more there, but as a kid of the 80s, that logo was everywhere and its instantaneously recognizable.DMC: Im shocked by how cool it still is.True that you guys did not get paid by Adidas for the song?DMC: Not before we put it out, but the way it went down was Adidas had a board meeting or something and they couldnt figure out why their Superstar shoe was selling like it was with not much advertising and they knew that [Kareem Abdul-] Jabbar wasnt doing that much for them. Some young kid said, You guys havent heard of Run-DMC? Next thing we knew, the guy who was running Adidas North America, Angelo Anastasio, was at our concert at Madison Square Garden. And Jay goes to me, Hey, D, show them your feet. And I raise my Adidas shoes in the air and 20,000 people do the same. A couple days later, we had a $1 million deal with Adidas, and they also paid for tour support, which included our buses and travel.Crazy.DMC: Thats not all. They sent us crates and crates of shoes. We took what we wanted to take and then our crew would just line up until they were all gone.Why this sports collaboration?DMC: People have already been saying, I run this town and I run that town. We thought it was cool to team up our iconic logo that spans across cultures and get them into cities with team colors and logos. San Francisco 49ers Gear .

The NHL schedule makers were rough on both the Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes, sending the two Western Conference teams on lengthy East Coast road trips after regular-season openers at home.The Avalanche emerged with two wins from their four-game trip and got a much quicker trip south to the Valley of the Sun with a 3-3 record after losing 1-0 to Winnipeg Friday night in Denver. The Coyotes, after winning their opener, dropped the first five games of their trip back east before salvaging a win at Philadelphia on Thursday night.Between the goals going in, and fights, and things breaking and challenges, it was crazy, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said after Thursdays win But we needed a win to end the road trip and well take it and go home.I think we learned a lot on this trip about how we have to play. If the old saying that adversity makes you stronger is true, we gained some strength this trip.Still, the 1-5 start, with two points in six games, was the worst start to a season in Coyotes history. Arizona hopes to take advantage of having the next three games at home inside Gila River Arena, and the homestand starts Saturday night against Colorado.The Avalanche has only scored 16 goals in six games, near the bottom of the league at present, but has only allowed 17, which is in the top five. Goalie Semyon Varlamov has a shutout and a 2.88 goals against average.Colorados leading goal-scorers are Joe Colborne and Matt Duchene with three each.Veteran winger Jarome Iginla is 16th on the NHLs all-time goal-scoring list, but has only one this season. He missed a golden chance Friday night.The Avs will be playing their second set of back-to-back games this season. In 121 games against Arizona in franchise history, they have scored 399 goaals to the Coyotes 401.dddddddddddd.The Avalanche set new season highs for shots in a game with 37 in Fridays loss, to go with shots in a period (20). The 21 shots allowed was the fewest Colorado has surrendered in a game this season, which made for a frustrating loss to the Jets.The best way to do it is just to turn the page and get right back at it tomorrow, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog told the team website. We really have to make sure we get back playing the waywe want to on the road and get a big road win tomorrow.The Coyotes have been without top goaltender Mike Smith since the second game of the season. Smith went down with a lower-body injury at Ottawa on Oct. 18 and might only resume skating again next week.In Smiths place, Louis Domingue has a 4.74 goals against average in five games, four of those starts. He got his first win of the season on Thursday with 28 saves.Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson leads the Coyotes with five goals, three of those in his last two games. His 81 career goals are fourth-most for a defenseman in franchise history.Forward Brad Richardson is the team leader in points with six and forward Max Domi has five assists to pace the Coyotes in that department.Five different Coyotes, including Ekman-Larsson, scored in the 5-4 win over the Flyers that featured a wild third period. Arizona took a 3-2 lead with Martin Hanzals goal that happened at the same time as a fight breaking out, and the Coyotes made that stand with a pair of two-goal leads in the final period.The second period has not been kind to Arizona, which has been outscored 10-4 in those 20 minutes this season.
