Chazberg Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hideous, but at the very least it's appropriate for the team. If they made that crap for teams like the Raiders or the Vikings, then it would be even more ridiculous. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 This is when you know the NFL is king. MLB is in spring training and NHL and NBA are in regular season. But the NFL is going to sell St. Patty's merchandise. "Cheer for the Patriots while wearing Green on St. Patty's Day." Nobody else could pull this off in the offseason.

Squeaks4 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Why is St. Patrick's day celebrated in the uniform and overall sports community? I have always found it odd that teams feel the need to put green onto their uniforms, yet don't seem to do the same for other holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Why is St. Patrick's day celebrated in the uniform and overall sports community? I have always found it odd that teams feel the need to put green onto their uniforms, yet don't seem to do the same for other holidays.For one, green is a generally underused color. A few teams in each league wear it with distinction, but green is nowhere near as common as red, blue or black.For two, what colors would you ascribe to the other holidays? The Flyers always wear orange and black on Hallowe'en, if that helps... "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand a part of St. Patrick's day is wearing green, but you just don't see it being done for any other holiday. Just one of those petty things that bother me from time to time I guess.

That would be cool once a year.Or Christmas. I guess that would be the Lakers and Heat every year. Of course, the Devils should just switch back to that **ducks to avoid thrown objects** but I digress.July 4. The Oakland A's in Red, white and blue. You know you want it.

You know you want it.Or the Devils should have a huge Easter theme... think about it... As for the St-Patty's celebration, I hate to break it to you, but it is NOT ONLY the sports community... Go take a walk in any business districts and you'll see these freaks who will "honour" the green...I think it's o.k. for the teams in a "traditionally Irish Heritage" market to do so, but I think we need to draw the line somewhere...Maple Leafs have all the rights to bring back the St-Pats stuff out, and this year it's a Saturday... but hte Leafs are on the Road... in Montreal, another traditionally Irish canadian town (yes there is a HUGE Irish tradition in Montreal...)I think the once Majority of Irish descendant has to hold on to something... Heck, any reason is good to drink, but keep the GREEN colouring out of my beer... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found it odd that teams feel the need to put green onto their uniforms, yet don't seem to do the same for other holidays.I think it has to do with green having more of a connection to St. Patrick's Day then any other holidays do to their particular colours. Generally people don't wear orange and black on Halloween, red and pink of Valentine's Day, pastels on Easter, or green and red on Christmas. Almost everyone, however, wears green on St. Patrick's Day. Beer's even dyed green. As for the NFL gear, the shirt's ok. It's simple, and it gets the point across. That hat's way too over the top though. They need to get rid of all the clovers and just keep the one that contains the "NFL" lettering on the back.

Luigi74 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I bought a Pittsburgh Steelers, St. Patrick's Day long sleeve t-shirt last year it's pretty cool dark green with the Steelers logo over a cool looking shamrock on the back and front, way better than this years plain green stuff.

mustangdmg Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I admit it's fugly. But being Boston native, it's not surprising. Boston is rich in Irish traditions and lots of Irish descendants. You'd be amazed at how many people wear green Red Sox caps here. The Arizona High School Helmet Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
