Pink Uniforms for Late February

Beeeej · February 06, 2009, 03:29:20 PM

According to Brian Sullivan of USCHO, all twelve ECAC teams will be wearing special pink and black uniforms for their respective weekends of home games in late February, to be autographed and auctioned off to raise money to benefit the American Cancer Society. All jerseys start at $150.

It's a great cause, but seriously - Cornell in pink and black uniforms?! I have nightmares about things like this.

Skorton should up the ante by painting the locker rooms pink, too.

Ah, too bad it won't be February 14.::nut::

And I guess that would mean the seniors get to do their lap wearing them ::yark::

It's a great cause but a giant shame that it seems senior nights league wide will feature ugly one time uniforms instead of the sweaters and colors these guys wore for four years.

Agreed. Too bad they can't do something bizarre like let the seniors wear their "true" colors (but still sign/auction off their respective pink ones).

why couldn't they just switch to their normal uniforms for the final lap?

Do the teams have to wear them for both games that weekend? Couldn't they just wear them for the Friday night game, especially considering most teams do have a "Senior night" celebration at their last home game of the regular season.

The cause is great,however, the design....
What will they do for socks? Hopefully all black. However, the pink, black and red hockey pants....? My eyes are still out-of-sorts from the throwback unis worn by the Habs last Sunday.

Personally I think this is stupid. How much would I spend on a regular worn sweater vs. a pink and black one? Really now, am I going to go out of my way and wear this god-awful sweater to games. I think not. But just my opinion, you understand.

Edit:

Don't be afraid to bid, fellas: not only are these jerseys one-of-a-kind and game-worn, but they'll also exhibit your fashionable, sensitive side. Ladies, the apparel works for you too; the pink is a cute, classy touch, and the jersey itself demonstrates your incredibly desirable love of ECAC hockey.

Do I need to say anything more?

Pretty sure that's what mha did last year.

On the one hand, cool, pink uniforms! I like pink. I wear pink - helps that I'm a girl

But on the other hand, this just seems entirely wrong, no matter how good a cause this is or how much I like pink

Hidden in this week's Off the Crossbar in the fine print is this:

"CORRECTION
In the bonus edition of Off the Crossbar in Saturday's edition, it was incorrectly reported that the Big Red men's team will wear league-mandated black and pink jerseys for its Senior Night game against Union on Feb. 21.

While ECAC Hockey's initial intent was for all home teams to wear the jerseys during the final two weekends of the season, Cornell has since been given the green light to wear its traditional white and red jerseys for the final home game of the regular season."

This should appease some of ELF's fashion police.
