Ishmookie Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Since the sox colors are black and white i was thinking what if the sox gave out reversable black and white shirts for all fans at least the ones in the UD. When the sox are up people would wear white shirts, and when they are fielding they should wear black. What do you think. is this possible? would it be considered a cheap move?

Kyyle23 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I think the idea has merit. I also think the follow-through is almost completely impossible. I dont think people are going to want to be removing and putting their shirts back on everytime a lead changes hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmookie Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 by up i mean at bat. the shirts would be reversable or white in front and black on the back so people would just turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thing, people who are diehards at the park are already going to be wearing black or white or gray but people who just dont care aren't going to be wearing these things anyways even if they are being given out but meh..I could be wrong.

IlliniKrush Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'd be a fan of a complete white-out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) I'd be a fan of a complete white-out I remember in 93 all of the fans had the socks with tennis balls in them. Ozzie hated them because when a ball was hit to him or hit in the air, it was hard to pick the ball against all of the socks waving in the backdrop. I can imagine it would be somewhat similar with a whiteout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadahito Iguchi Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) I think what ish means is that it would be black when the sox were fielding and white when they were batting, so that the Astros would have a hard time seeing.

Flash Tizzle Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Interesting idea with the reversable shirts. However, wearing white while our batters are up won't help our hitters locate the ball out of the pitchers hands. If anything, the outfield bleacher seats alone should be full of fans wearing reversible jerserys. When Astros bat, switch around the shirts to white Too bad this idea hadn't been suggested several days ago. Another homefield advantage suggestion, although it would never occur, would be for all our fans attending Saturday/Sunday to turn the World Series into a college basketball game. Humming and jumping up and down whenever the Astros bat would be a huge distraction for their hitters.
