Red out on Thursday? (with poll)

Someone called in the "The Bald Face Truth" today.  

The caller was asking everyone to wear red during the Phoenix game.  I think it's a great idea.  

It almost takes me back to my college years. I showed up to the college games decked out in team gear and I wasn't alone.  There was a sea of color and it was wonderful.

Here is a poll to help me get a feeling about where you guys/gals stand on this kind or thing.

Poll
Are you going to wear red to the Phoenix game?
Heck, yeah! It'll be great
52 votes
Nope, I'm just going to wear my underwear
7 votes
No, I don't own anything that is red
3 votes
No, shamefully I won't be at the game

Ha. My school was the Poly Parrots.

We've tried this before.

Not enough people ever get the memo, wait until the play-offs for this kind of stuff. Not being a negative ned, I’ve tried participating before (i even wore red shorts) it just never works.

All season ticket holders, and anyone that buys even a single game ticket...

should be required to have a Twitter account. That way, everyone "get’s the memo, along with being dragged, kicking and screaming if need be, into the 21st century.

I just started twittering

I always

wear a Blazer shirt – and most are red or predominately so. Never consider anything else.

by jorga on Mar 25, 2009 7:40 AM PDT reply actions  

The Blazers should hand out shirts to a game or two if they want the red out

It would be a rather cheap way to build customer moral AND build the game atmosphere AND have more people wearing blazer gear out and about. Printing up 20,000 t-shirts really isn’t all that expensive in a SPAM way.

Blazers sell out every game

No need for free incentives anymore! At least I haven’t seen any since opening night.

by Zaig on Mar 25, 2009 1:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

I know

But that means the Blazers Marketing dept should be complacent?

I'm not wearing red

I have a lucky shirt. Blazers logo on the front, Oden number and name on the back.

Did it work?

I don’t think the broadcasters mentioned it.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
