whitesoxfan101 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Brooks Boyer just said on WSCR that all fans should continue to wear black throughout the postseason, the White Sox are calling it the "rolling blackout". Keep that in mind if you are heading to the Cell for game 3 and/or 4! They are also giving away white rally towels for both games as a contrast to the hopefully 40 thousand black shirts.

rventura23 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I liked the blackout, it provided a great atmosphere White towels would be interesting, I thought about that during the last game because you couldnt really see the black towels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White would be easier for tv though I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchtower41 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 At least we aren't resorting to lame cowbells or God forbid, thundersticks. Then again, we are not the side of town that lacks noise at baseball games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah, what's with the cowbells. You are in a dome as it is, you can't make enough noise by yelling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Anyone think the Sox should give away...um...WHITE SOCKS instead of rally towels? I don't know, call me crazy, but I think that might work pretty well. Or make the top black and the toe white? I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'.

WinningUgly85 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 instead of towels they should be giving out palehose in my opinion with the sox logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 They need to tell the fans to only wave the white when Rays are up. It could really baffle our hitters, the white with the white ball. Why they wouldn't just hand out White sox is beyond me. White Sox giveway would be special; white towels is copycat of the Twinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Isnt it a little counter productive to hand out white towels in a blackout?That was the whole point to handing out black towels in the first blackout so they would see nothing but black.

I think they felt the black towels were somewhat counterproductive because they really couldnt be seen against the black background I was thinking that maybe the Sox should switch opening themes from "thunderstruck" to "Back in Black". It would be fitting, and Im sure the crowd would react Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And switching the opening theme would be the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, they used that theme through 2006 and 2007, and it didnt seem to change things. Since when did you get so superstitious?

You are in a dome as it is, you can't make enough noise by yelling? Even though it's a dome and so it gets loud easy, I was at both of the last games and it was crazy loud. Didn't help matters much that I was flanked by my Rays fan wife and byddy who both had the cowbells going in my ears. As bad as these last two losses were for y'all to see on teevee a home, trust me, they were much worse suffering through them live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
