Pink Uniforms for Late February

Killer · February 22, 2009, 01:12:27 PM

Do we know what the pink uniform status is for next weekend? Will we see Yale in their version on Friday? How about Brown on Saturday, or are they also getting to opt out on Senior Night?

My sister goes to Clarkson. Without me even saying anything, the first thing she said about their game against Dartmouth Friday was how lovely the uniforms looked with the green and gold.

Please tell me she was joking.

if she wasn't (Don't take this the wrong way) is she color blind?

I was being very sarcastic. It doesn't come across well through text. I guess I should have used italics.

By the way dpperk, daredevilcu, and drew, she is thinking of joining the pepband next year. I told her she should make sure to wear her red #12 Cornell jersey to all of the games. :-)

IT IS pretty awful. Possibly the all-time worst. They should've avoided the home yellow.. sorry- GOLD helmets.

UG-LY U-NIS (clap clap clap-clap-clap)

Does anyone know the sticks' flex and the curve on the blade? It just occurred to me that if nothing else, this could be a relatively cheap way to get some nice composite sticks.

Probably at a loss for the team, though -- so you'd have to come to grips with the fact that every time you take a slapshot, you're helping keep cancer strong.

They looked worse in person, much much worse.

though they must have burned Jody O'Neill's (Dartmouth Sieve) retinas or something because he couldn't stop a beach ball this weekend.

Full gallery forthcoming. Bet you can't wait.

Um, well, the pink and green make for nice preppy colors but that gold helmet stuck out.

I was trying to think if there was a team in the ECAC that had colors that would even go somewhat well with those jerseys.

Cornell - ick
SLU, RPI - same issue as Cornell
Brown - pink and brown are okay but brown and black not so good
Colgate, Union, Harvard - maroon and pink aren't so hot either
Yale - blue and pink...ick
Dartmouth - pink and green...maybe
Clarkson - again, pink and green maybe but those gold helmets stick out
Princeton - I can't imagine anything other than black would go with that orange
Q - what color are they?

So, the conclusion was that at least none of the teams look good in those jerseys.

Q is yellow and blue. Can't imagine they would look good.

Pink is just a terrible color for uniforms, especially when combined with other colors. The league meant well with this promotion but yeeeeeeaaaaaach.

The Flyers sell pink unis for the same cause. They are two shades of pink on a white background. They're tolerable. And they never forced the players to wear them on ice.

These, however, are just nauseating

I think that pink's hideousness makes the promotion more effective. It stands out in a way that a more neutral color could not.

Is there any data to back up this hypothesis? How much are people actually bidding on these monstrosities?

Not much.
