portugal Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Marketing tactics... the only team that should don St. Patty's unis is the Celts, and they already do that gimmick year round. *Images of favorite sports teams/players* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 It's a shame that the Blackhawks did not wear their St-Patty's special uniforms for last night's game.Well, at least the ice girls had the spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilt Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 In fact I like that idea for NBA. The regular season lasts 82 games so it's kind of boring seeing teams using 2 (ok, nowadays rather 3) sets of uniforms. They have to sell the merchandize somehow and I prefer this to the approach of association football teams that release 2 or 3 new kits every season (especially if you keep in mind that they play only 34-38 games in their leagues).

NYYNYR Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 What's amazing to me is how leagues fail to capitalize on how popular a color green really is. I think of baseball, and really 1 team sports green full-time. You want to stretch and say the Marlins / Padres use green or teal, fine, but really one team uses it. And it's more of a darker hunter / forest green.Green could be the new black if people had the will to run with it. The color is always used in a fun sense on St. Pat's, but people eat it up. That Hawks jersey is friggin' sweet. It's also one of the most recognizable colors in sports. Probably even people who barely know what the NBA is can tell you that the green and white team is the Celtics...Amazing to me how hockey has so little of it as well. Also fascinating that no one in the NHL is doing the simple (and classy) green-and-white monochrome. It's like there came a point in time in which blue and red were deemed "normal" and "safe," black was seen as "dangerous and street," and colors like green, yellow and purple etc. made you "weird" or "clown-like" or "looking like an expansion team." If someone could document this, I'd appreciate it...To me, the Red Sox should use a green alt full-time because of the Irish community. It would make a ton of sense and would sell amazingly well. I'm a Yankee fan, so I can't tell you if this would cause an uprising, but a green alt. could certainly replace that navy smock. That's nothing to write home about.

NYYNYR Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 and of course, tonight, people will marvel at how nice the Devils look in the original green-and-reds. Again, such a nice color combo, and in a state that has a great Italian population, why not run with it full-time? Their jerseys are classy, but there's tons of red/ white/ black going on in the league. I think we can do with one less team in that color pattern. Let Ottawa, Carolina, Chicago run with that....

Audiodrama Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I was watching the Braves play on MLB Network last night, and their St. Patty's hats were ADJUSTABLE. Was this league-wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, seemingly 9/10 Hawks jerseys I see are fakes in general, so I guess it isn't surprising. I still believe that the Hawks have never worn green, though.

jhans203 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Celtics in their gold trimmed jerseys. I didn't notice it was color vs. color. Looks great with those Indy golds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm a Celtics fan and I love the look of the gold-trimmed C's jerseys -- as long as they keep to using it just a couple times a year. Even the fact that they now where them for the entire week of St. Patrick's Day is a stretch. But either way, it's miles better than the jerseys with the awful black numbers and triangle things on the shorts.I think the green jerseys that the Red Sox and Phillies donned, though, are atrocious. Partially because of the ugly batting practice template, and partially because I find THAT shade of green really ugly.Now these were good green Red Sox jerseys...

What I'd like to see is the all black being replaced by green on the current jerseys... and the shoulder yolk outlined in white on the Homes.

bigreid07 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The Preds wore these during Pre-Skate last night only. I'm pretty certain they were or will be auctioned off to benefit the Predators Foudnation charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell because the last photo is from a real game in April of '07 against the Yanks this was the game where a-rod hit the HR that knocked coco crisp over the bullpen wall. I believe this was the only time the Red Sox have worn these jerseys for a real game. I actually really like that look on the sox.Here's this years (atrocious) take on it I wish some team would pick up the red-green-white color scheme full time, it can really work well. I was hoping the Nats would try it, but no luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
