Pink Uniforms for Late February

[quote Robb][quote Trotsky][quote KeithK]Pink is just a terrible color for uniforms, especially when combined with other colors.[/quote]

I think that pink's hideousness makes the promotion more effective.  It stands out in a way that a more neutral color could not.[/quote]
Is there any data to back up this hypothesis?  How much are people actually bidding on these monstrosities?[/quote]

That's only a portion of the effect.  Having a high visibility* event bringing media attention likely increases contributions, discussion of future events which in turn elicit more contributions -- a virtuous circle.


* Well, high visibility in the context of northeastern collegiate winter athletics, anyway.

I think they could have done much better with a few small changes:
1. Put the names on the back
2. Put the numbers on the arms
3. Use a matching shade of pink on the jerseys and socks

I don't think the jerseys are all that terrible, but they are not nearly as awesome as the women's jerseys from last year that I saw a few fans wearing in the stands this weekend:

Wow, those pink on pink jerseys hurt my eyes in yet a different way!
