'White outs' when home teams now wear their darks

[Sinbin]

A big pet peeve of mine..

[mister_mcgoo]

I think the whole concept is stupid...so sheep-like and distracting

[metaldude26]

Rediculous, no one has used that word yet, I'll use that one.

It was cool when one team did it and it was unique to that city (and the home team wore white) - now I have to agree, its pretty lame - especially in places where they think they are competing for the Stanley Bowl, and they have to hand out free white t-shirts at the gate. Yeah Phoenix, I'm looking at you. You never deserved a team and you never will.

it doesn't even make sense to have white or white towels

waving your white towel means you are surrendering, so why would a home team wave white towels... Doesn't make sense in the slightest sense...

wear your jersey, that's way cooler anyway

if i wore my jersey to the game i wouldnt put those nasty cotton tshirts over them. i dont like basketball much but atleast they have it right. they have two plastic inflatable thingys that you can smack together to create noise.

Roger Neilsen, Canucks vs Hawks 1982. That's why.

Here's the youtube video for you to watch.

thanks for that video, never saw that before.

However, it still doesn't make sense. Back then obviously it had a reason, but now it doesn't make sense to wave the towel, especially when your winning the game or series...

Seems a little gay to me.

Still prefer the jerseys

It's just a tradition. I'd be willing to bet a lot of traditions these days don't make a lot of "sense" any more but you still do them.

Had a friend that always cut her roast in half when she put it in the oven. We asked her why she did that and she wasn't quite sure other than "My mom used to do it." Turns out, after a bit of digging, that her great-grandmother used to do it simply because her oven was never big enough!

hahaha, that's a good story...I'm a big fan of roast so I was sitting here reading that thinking 'damn, wouldn't that really dry it out more cutting it in half'? lol

The Flyers ORANGE CRUSH is pretty cool.
