habsfannova Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Winnipeg was the master. Nobody compares to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 The weirdest was Calgary which seemed to execute the "C" of Red to perfection that the building looked empty. The thing to remember though it that the seats of the Saddledome are green.The thing with the Flyers "Orange-out" is that they don't wear the orange jerseys in the playoffs at the home anymore.--Roger "Time?"

Moser316 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Who did the color thing first, the college or pro teams? I'm sort of curious about that, because it seems logical that it would originate with the colleges (who don't change colors when the next wave of trendy design comes along). It's only a recent tradition at my alma mater (UW-Milwaukee) that we started to do "Blackout" or all-gold games at our home arena... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Is it me or do the Flyers fans all wearing orange make it look like an empty building. From cetain camera angles they look like empty seats! My brother saw it briefly in game 4 or 5, and was convinced they had over half the arena empty. Had to show him again today that there were actually people there.Go Jets Go (back to Winnipeg)!

OnWis97 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I never felt like it made the building look empty. I think it's great when fans do that. to the Jets who originated it, but I love all the Red and Orange in Calgary and Philly.

Stampman Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Winnipeg originated it with the white out and they are still the masters. The Sea of Red came first--the Jets borrowed it from the Flames one year in the playoffs--I forget which year...

tajmccall Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I thought Calgary started it a long time ago too, but i was young, so i coulda been wrong. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Yeah -- 19,000 people wearing pretty much the same orange shirt or atleast some form of orange in most cases looks amazing -- as it does with any other color but I think orange more-so because of the uniqueness of the color in professional sports.What a great game they all got to witness. Regardless of the awards St. Louis recieves, I think Primeau is still the best player on the ice for either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmee Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Seems weird to me that the Flyers, who now wear black at home, have their fans in orange t-shirts so as to not match the team. Whoops! Calgary's works much better in my mind, seeing as the fans don't even need the red t-shirts as most of them are already wearing those snazzy red Flames sweaters.
