Rangers' "Thank You"

[jkrdevil]

Okay I'm wathcing the TSN telecast of the Rangers-Habs game over the internet. Right before the game started they showed a clip of Kevin Weekes in what I assume was pre-game warmups. Weekes' jersey read "Thank You" instead of the regular "Rangers". I only saw it for a second. Can someone confirm that the Rangers wore "Thank You" jersey's in warmups?

[DEAD!]

oh good I thought it was my imagination... I believe whomever took the faceoff had a "THANK YOU" sweater as well. I hope a picture from the AP will show up....

Well the Rangers are wearing the regular RANGERS Jersey as after I saw it I was looking for another close view to take a screen shot of. All I have seen during the game is RANGERS jersey's

[jkrdevil]

Yes it did.

Along the same lines, the Wild all wore #1 jerseys with "Wild Fans" on the name plate (in case you didn't know, the team retired the #1 in honor of the fans)

the ushers and other personel at the game wore the "thank you' jerseys instead of the Garden's traditional green blazers, but the rangers themselves wore their regular blueshirts

Apparantly, the first period jerseys are up for auction to benefit for Hurricane Katrina, some I know wore them for warmups as well, could this be it?

The Rangers wore the Thank-you jerseys just for the warm-up. After that, they wore the Katrina patched jerseys for the first, and their regular blueshirts for the rest of the game.

Things have been downhill for the blue-shirts ever since they got rid of Pudge.

All the Rangers wore those jerseys for warm-ups.

Then, before the game, each player signed & gave the jerseys to selected Season-Ticket holders.

It was a "Thank You" to the fans.

That's one lame idea the Rangers thought up there. It'd be better to just have like a "Thank You" patch or banner in the arena, rather than making whole new jerseys, which look ridonkulous.

It's kinda lame cause with the Thank Yous and the Katrinas and the regular gamers the players are making like supermodels at a runway show with all the change outs.

selected Season-Ticket holders

Now there is a group that really deserves "Thank You Fans" jerseys.

Like JQK said...how is this lame?

As a warmup, this was a pretty cool idea...plop, I'll give the Rangers a bit of credit for doing something a bit different for the home opener.

Remember, they did bust out a "NEW YORK" version of this for the home opener in 01-02 after 9-11...and amazingly, they got the Sabres to follow suit with THEIR take of a "NEW YORK" jersey as well...

But, I guess THAT was "ridiculous" too
