Generic Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 F*** it up? I think it's cool just to see a jersey atleast similar to the original itself. I'm down with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If this is the best opportunity we have to buying a jersey that hasn't been made since 1992 without having to buy a tattered one on ebay then I can deal with that.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsephen Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Agreed with a few others..."Devils" = Red/BlackSantas = Red/GreenEven if you like the color combo (yuck), xmas ruined it for anything unrelated to the holidays. You can't wear that much green and red without it screaming christmas.But still. It's pretty ugly. Red/Black = nice, and actually fits the brand. Red/Green... i don't get it, and it doesn't look good, either IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, in my hey-day of loving Christmas, I never once associated the Devils with the holiday. It never even crossed my mind. They were just a hockey team who's colors were red and green.

IceCap Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I think the whole "Team X has Christmas colours" argument never made sense to me. Do people accuse the Bengals and Flyers of wearing Halloween colours? No. So why are red and green teams tied to Christmas? Seems like a weak connection to make.

elsephen Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 lol... If you guys don't see christmas with Red/Green combos, you're probably not from North America.Or you for some reason are just fond of the combo. So you pretend to not see it.Green/Red is most popular as a Christmas theme.And yes. Black and Orange is the same way. It hurts anyone that tries it. See UT's "Halloween jerseys" that everyone hated due to them looking too halloween'ish.And it doesn't matter, really. Red/Green = horrible colors for the DEVILS.

The_Admiral Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Okay, so which color schemes aren't precluded by holidays? Black and orange is Halloween, so that's out, never mind the Orioles and Bengals. Can't even tell you how many teams are out for wearing 4th of July red/white/blue. Brown and orange is kind of Thanksgiving, so change the Browns. The Colts' blue and white could potentially bring to mind any number of Jewish holidays, which would be okay if not for the fact that a "putting the 'pass' in Passover" ad campaign would be wasted on the offseason. The Buccaneers' old creamsicle orange was pretty much an Easter egg color, so that must be the real reason they got rid of them. Do the Celtics get special dispensation for St. Patrick's Day colors? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 lol... If you guys don't see christmas with Red/Green combos, you're probably not from North America.Or maybe we just remember what colors tend to naturally complement each other.And yes. Black and Orange is the same way. It hurts anyone that tries it. See UT's "Halloween jerseys" that everyone hated due to them looking too halloween'ish.This is why I can't watch an Orioles game without putting on a costume and carving a pumpkin.

ksupilot Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 As someone from New Jersey, I am fired up for Wednesday's game.

Seems like a weak connection to make.I think the same thing when I hear that red/yellow look like McDonald's. After all, red and green are complimentary colors, exactly opposite each other on the color wheel and supposedly the most pleasing combo on the eyes (if what I was taught in art class 20 years ago is correct).Red - GreenOrange - BlueYellow - Purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
