Wear Red Friday Night

by Ben Golliver on Oct 31, 2008 12:29 AM PDT

From a Blazers PR. Some of you have been talking about this for awhile....

"We want fans to wear red, make noise and make the Rose Garden intimidating for visitors," Trail Blazers President Larry Miller said. "Our players feed off of that crowd energy, so it is a goal of ours to create the best home court advantage in the NBA."

I will be wearing, seeing and sucking blood...

As Count Blazeula tomorrow night. Bowen, Duncan and Parker better beware my wraith or at least wear garlic necklaces during the game otherwise…

I’m wearing blazer jammy bottoms cause my legs are two white… Red Flip Flops, Red basketball shorts Red Undershirt with my “white” Roy Jersey. Red Blazer hat and I made a few signs! Check me out in 326! Next to my kid brother and his Oden Jersey and Afro wig ;) Should be good times.

I've got second hand diabetes from eating to many candy cigarettes.

I will be wearing red. I just got a new (non-freebie giveaway) Blazers shirt for the first time in 16 years.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.

I will be there, red, and loud.

Even without Oden, I’m still completely excited to go and support our guys. I’ve got a good feeling about this game, I think we can beat the Spurs this time around.

I'll be in red, at home (wimper, sniffle.)

HELP!!!!!!

my comrades: do not as the organization says. do not take the message seriously:

instead: WEAR HALLOWEEN CLOTHING or

nothing

That's easy, here are some official suggestions (my favorite is Darius by far - so fitting)

Now that's scary.

Ruben, take that costume off right now and do straight to Denver or wherever you are now …

Nuggest waived him

Shocking, isn’t it? I haven’t heard of him finding another spot.

by Corvid on Oct 31, 2008 10:44 AM PDT up reply actions

honestly, when I first saw the idea

I reaced the same way. It would be cool if we came up with this but c’mon. Do we really need to rip this idea from other NBA or college football fans? That being said, I don’t want to be a douche and be the one guy in my section that didn’t go along with the herd. If the blazers really insist on this though, they need to provide the red. you could even stamp a sponsors name on the front.

I'm going as Sheed

I’ve been trying to talk the girl I’m going with into dressing as Damon, but the jersey is a little too big and she’s not really feeling it. I told her I’d go half on a new replica Jersey with her instead. Although I’m really disappointed about breaking up the weed bust duo.

I’m gonna wear a red long sleeve undershirt though to stick with the theme.

by KobeStoppa on Oct 31, 2008 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm with you, Bandwagon.

Not in the sense that I’ll be there, but I like the Halloween costume idea better on Halloween. Bring your Gregg Popovich, Tim Duncan, or Tony Parker doll and stick a few pins in it on national TV.

The one person I would like to see in Blazer regalia is Sophia made up to look like Eva Longoria. Then make sure Tony gets a good look at her.

This will never work.

Management should realize this won’t work unless they hand out red shirts to everyone at the door. Case in point: the Christmas game last year. I proudly wore red…and then looked around and realized nobody else got the memo.

by erastus25 on Oct 31, 2008 8:03 AM PDT reply actions

Yeah, like who knows about this idea?

crazy fans like us who belong to blazersedge and maybe a few who troll the oregonlive site? You know whats gonna happen, the nice people in the 100 level will look up at the crazies in the 300s and think: My dear…Harriet, Charles, take a gander up toward the poverty level. It seems the peasants have reached some sort of agreement to match each other’s attire. How puzzling. Well, back to chatting on my cell phone…

I moved up to the 100 level this year, and I'll be wearing red... and the guy I'm going with rented a complete Santa Claus costume.

I was thinking about being Waldo from the "Where's Waldo" books,

I thought my wife and kids would have fun trying to find me in the crowd. I decided not too though because I’m sitting by Santa, and I didn’t want to look like an elf.

At this year's Christmas game, the Mavs will play in green and the Blazers in red

I wear red to EVERY game

Always have, always will. It’s one of my favorite colors. You oughta see my closet — it’s 90% red and black.

I just realized . . .

Red (or crimson) was the school color of every college I’ve ever attended. Weird.

by Corvid on Oct 31, 2008 10:53 AM PDT up reply actions

ha yea

My school colors my whole life, from elem school, through college have had some form of maroon or scarlet, I don’t know the difference but the schools always made a point that our color is not red it is much more specific then that…

As I recall every time we dress up in coordinating colors

we lose handily. This will be more data for the experiment.

Miami won the title when their fans dressed up all-white in the 06 finals.

But went down as looking completely ridiculous in the annals of history.
