HuskyCaucasian Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 So, the Sox ran a Blackout for the 163rd game and the entire playoffs. Today I hear the Bears are declaring an "Orangeout" for this weekends game since the Bears will be in the Orange Unis. Could this be Chicago's new trademark? Blue-out for important Cubs games. Red-outs for important Bulls and Blackhawks games. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we make it a Chicago thing, it might be kind of cool. but yea, cold weather outdoor games kinda screw that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty bad. I think if everyone at a Bears game wore white would be sweet. It's virtually impossible due to weather, though. You see tons of people at games wearing whatever makes them warm (yellow, red, etc.), but it'd be cool to see them play 1 home game in a dome to see all white, blue, and orange, similar to how everyone in Indy can wear their jerseys.

knightni Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The Cubs will have "Blow Out" Day next year. All fans at Wrigley in attendance will be dressed like members of the L.A. Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Penn State did a white out years ago for a game against Ohio State, and have continued with it for other games. It looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'd like the idea more if it had originated here, but so many other teams in so many other cities have already been there and done that. It just feels insincere to me at this point, but I must say... when you have 40,50,60K people all wearing the same color it looks amazing.

clyons Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Illinois has done "Paint the [Assembly] Hall Orange" nights for hoops and its been awesome. FWIW, I think this should be reserved for playoff games, or at least hugely important divisional/conference games, or else it loses its luster. The Bears doing it in October against the Vikings doesn't get me too excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hockey, I can remember white-outs in Winnipeg, Quebec and Denver, and an orange-out in Philadelphia off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Nothing can top the Illini's Paint the Hall Orange. And that's for just 16,000 people. If the Bears could get 60,000 people wearing Orange, that would certainly be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yeah, the color thing is more of a college thing to me. IU tried a stripe-out last year for the MSU-Gameday game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
