Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 The Yotes look to bring back a classic this playoffs. While I think it is a great thing for their fans to get into the playoffs as such, we obviously want to show off how much we like our boys. In this vein, I suggest everyone else who attends any game in Phoenix this postseason wears all Red to stand out from the white out. Send a clear message to the players on the ice and the fans watching at home that the white out signifies Yotes fans, and the Red signifies Wings fans. I hope to see more red then white, as I have been to plenty of Yotes games and know there are as many Wings fans there as Yotes. So even though our white sweaters are the best in the league, wear a Red one instead, failing that wear a red shirt and a red hat. If you have red pants and shoes, wear those too! I think a friendly little compettion for the fans would be great. So suit up boys and girls. I also catch the irony that we will be wearing the white in Phoenix, apparently they don't!

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Man, is it too greedy to hope that not only will the Wings beat Phoenix but we would have more fans than them, too? Seeing a Red out in Phoenix in the playoffs would be legendary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that's true, and some teams even paint their locker room red to get their team excited and paint the visitor's locker room a pastel blue because that's a relaxing color (to tone down their aggressiveness). However, I'm sure you've heard the expression, "Seeing red!" which means raising one's level of excitement. So, does seeing a Red Wing jersey make opposing teams more aggressive against the Wings?! There's more than one way of interpreting color symbolism and emotions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's more than one way of interpreting color symbolism and emotions! Interesting point, but statistically red is the most successful sporting colour in history. More teams who wear red have had success than any other colour. Don't know the exact figures but it is quite a substantial amount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
