Touchdown Redskins Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hey guys, so I was just watching the Penn State/Notre Dame game (WE ARE...PENN STATE!!!), and being from Penn State, I love the white-out the crowd creates during the game. Basically the whole crowd wears white, and it just looks incredibly beautiful while also being intimidating to the other team. I know it would be hard, but we should try to do the same thing at FedEx. I mean how sexy would it be to have 90,000 screaming fans in burgundy, or the whole crowd in gold. It would show great unity amongst the fans, and I think it would intimidate the other team and empower the Skins. Any thoughts on how this could be done or if it's been tried in the past?

Vladimir L Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Good idea but how to get 90,000 fans to do it. White & Burgandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Will never happen at a pro game. Not with 90,000 people. We cant even get half of them to stand and yell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 I know it's hard, but Penn State doesn't seem to have a problem getting over 100,000 people to do it. Granted, a great majority of the fans live within a 5 block radius, but it doesn't seem impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 If we could get EVERY person on extremeskins going there to wear white, than we could do alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I can wear a white Redskin jersey. Maybe a white Skins fitted. Thats the best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 we've tried it before....problem is: A) fans want to wear their jerseys and some people only own 1 or only 1 color. Even with 60,000+ members on ES-- the message doesn't get out to enough people C) Too many people from opposing teams, idiots who have to wear Cowboys, Eagles and Giants jerseys when the Skins aren't playing them (you know who you are), idiots wearing jerseys of other teams not even playing (yeah, you guy who had that Raiders jersey on in the Wash vs. Tenn game last year). D) Too many people who don't want to participate with the crowd (they also want you to sit down and shut up when the D is on the field) :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracelander Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 If everybody meets me in the parking lot for wings, I can guarantee a total brownout by 3rd quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 thats a great idea but you would have to get someone like riggo or george michaels to put the word out about that. but i love the enthusiasm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 This has been done several times in the NBA, usually during the playoffs...but with crowds of 18K-19K. I think there's enough fans wearing Burgandy and white at FedEx already that this isn't really needed. However, *semi-OT*, it should be pointed out that it can backfire humorously. The New Jersey Nets went with all red shirts for their fans, the home team Nets wore white jerseys, and the Raptors strolled in with their red roadies. That was one the ultimate sports blunders.

REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 D) Too many people who don't want to participate with the crowd (they also want you to sit down and shut up when the D is on the field) :mad: Yeah F them, whenever I go to a game I get my section amped!!!! I dont get belligerent and sh--t face drunk and annoying. But I definitely be fired up!! :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reic Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 This has to be probably the 400th post made about a "white-out" at fedex because penn state does it. It's a college tradition, bud, goodluck doing that at a pro game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I think we should go with white, not burgundy. The home team wears white. We should wear white. Not sure what we're wearing tomorrow though. (the team, I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegadeTK Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You've got to go with the burgandy though, not the white. agreed.... its more "redskins" to rock the burgundy, you couldnt mistake it for much else. white is too common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
