KEEP IT RED

That red out crowd really worked. We need to keep this up for all games (and to those who think "but we're nearly always a sea of red", wrong-- just look at the photos from previous games and the surprisingly meshed up student section)

Hey, I thought we were only expected to wear our school colors once a year. You know, that game when the administration has to tell us to actually show up and be really loud for our team?

Oh right...we aren't RPI. :-}

Is this a philosophical thread on whether it's better to wear white jerseys with red, or red jerseys with white ... or has that long ago been discussed and resolved. Because it would get expensive buying not one but two game worn jerseys.

CowbellGuy · February 06, 2006, 05:25:23 PM

Wait. One or two jerseys are valid options? You mean I'm not supposed to have a different jersey for every game? Boy, this is going to save me a lot of money. :-P

Or more to the point, does that mean those of us with white game-worn jerseys should never wear them to another game?

Seriously, I'm all for encouraging everyone to get appropriately decked out for games, but there are outfits that express our devotion to the team that don't happen to be red.

I think a combination of red and white in the stands looks good. Especially if the white is coming only from white jerseys (or at least other white Cornell clothes with red trim). It would be nice if we were able to limit the colors only to red and white, however.

What, should I stop wearing my gray Cornell Hockey sweatshirt with red lettering?!

I've got a game-worn sweater, I just haven't gotten a nameplate on it yet, so it's not really wearable.

I wasn't aware this was a requirement. I guess I should stop wearing mine then. ::screwy::

It's not, doofus. It's also not a "requirement" that I wear a dark, understated suit to work, but I prefer to do so because I feel better about my choice.

Wear whatever you want. Just be loud and cheer for the team.

Some of us don't actually own any red clothing, at least with the exception of a campus hockey tournament mesh jersey from years ago. And some of us are not inclined to buy any since we don't like red clothing enough to wear it outside the rink. But if someone wanted to go to Teagle and pick up a red game worn jersey (non-goalie) for us we'd be quite pleased.

Keith, I'm still bitter because I don't have one of those jerseys... Alternate my ass, you Bastard!!!

KeithK · February 06, 2006, 05:51:34 PM

I've got a white one too. :-D

cth95 · February 06, 2006, 05:52:27 PM

I just meant, the more people wearing red with white as a second choice, the better the rink will look. Gray isn't too far off, and anything with "Cornell" shows support. I mostly meant, if possible, don't wear random yellow, green, blue, brown, etc. clothing. That doesn't mean buy all red clothes just for hockey. It means if you have it, wear it.

That's because you're still insecure about your career path. In ten years, you'll be reeling into chambers in a wifebeater and a "Scotch" baseball cap.

J/K. As if I were ever a conformist.

Actually, I would probably have the nameplates by now if I lived in town, but alas, I'm unwilling to part with them by mail, because I know how my luck is.

I agree with Keith: be loud and cheer for the team. But if you happen to like red clothing, all the better.

Cheers,
Kyle
