Anyone else happy.../ Game 5 Green-Out

[quikblink]

Was anyone else relieved to see that the Celtics did not give out t-shirts?  I was really nervous that I would turn my TV on and see everyone with the same green shirt on.  I really dont like that trend in basketball and I'm glad we have (so far) not fallen for it.

if they buy them in bulk from the CelticsBlog shop and hand those out, I'd be a big fan

I think it would be awesome.  Imagine if the entire crowd was just a sea of green.  Although I would hate to be accused of copying the Warriors.

The Celtics could never be accused of copying the Warriors, that's like the Red Sox being accused of copying the Marlins, just doesn't happen. The whole arena in Green shirts would be awesome, no other team has colors close to ours, would be pretty cool, and maybe even a little intimidating.

Amen, I would absolutely love to see a "green-out" at the New Garden.

Total agreement here.  I don't like that contrived stuff and would rather the crowd just get involved in a natural way (Jumbletron be [dang]ed).

Haha.  How quickly do you think Cafepress could accomodate an order for 16,000+ shirts?

Sunday was my first game at the Whatever Garden since `02 and I have to say there was WAYYYYY much more green being worn anyhow than I ever remember.  And, I agree with the Jumbotron silliness thoughts (that's not to say I wouldn't giddy like a school girl if they graced the Jumbotron with with my mug)

Let's not forget that the C's are not foreign to this trend, the frequently have given out towels (my favorite), magnets, luggage tags, hey I even still have my Doc Rivers bobble head.

A little off Topic: Did anyone see the lady behind the Celtic bench,with the flourescent Green hair?...that was the most noticable's Green color i ever saw.

Definitely and I have a box of random Celtics stuff to show for it.  I just don't like the whole "white-out", "thundersticks", whatever deals that many teams do these days.  If the crowd happens to be green, so be it.  I'm probably a bit old school on this but I just don't like the "whole manufactured excitement" for lack of a better term.  It wasn't done back in the day and those crowds are still legendary for the loudness and enthusiasm.  The one thing I do like in the entrance stuff, though.

They handed out the thunder clapper thingies the other night - which I passed on (as did most of my section thankfully).  They also gave out green towels with some advertisers name on it (these actually came in handy at the end of the night when the men's room ran out of paper towels.)

Sure would be fun to find out

And JayJAy you'd know it was me if they were ordering up green finger monsters for everyone!

Yeah, i was there.  I kept the towel but passed on the "Karate Kid II" hand clapper things.
