WiSioux Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I just got an email from the Sioux Crew/Athletic Department newsletter and this was attached at the bottom of it: UND Athletics and the Ralph Engelstad Arena are working on a WHITE-OUT promotion for the WCHA Playoffs and more information on this promotion will be made available as the details are confirmed. Hopefully this is something that they can do because it would be really cool to see! Just thought I'd start getting the word out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I'd start getting the word out now A white out would be cool. That would be way more shocking then the green out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 By the sounds of it, they are trying to find sponsors for the t-shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stromer Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I hope they get this going, but I still will be wearing black like last time. Which color did we win with in Dec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiSioux62 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 OK, I'm out of the loop - what is the white out promotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 OK, I'm out of the loop - what is the white out promotion? See White out in Grand Forks? thread, and the subsequent Green/White weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordwiser Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I was disappointed in the Gopher weekend attempt at the white out/green out. There definitely needs to be someone to step up and provide a shirt everyone can put on for this to actually have a chance to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definitely needs to be someone to step up and provide a shirt everyone can put on for this to actually have a chance to work. 2 colors dont work. white will work and stand out more. its takes a lot money to step up as you call it and get 12,000 shirts so lets hope it all works out and the white out happens which i think it will!! everyone has a white shirt more than a green shirt so it can be done even if there arent that many shirts given away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 OK, I'm out of the loop - what is the white out promotion? It's a rip-off promotion during the playoffs that originated with the Winnipeg Jets having all of the fans wearing white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Possible sponsors: UND (Duh?) Rydell (Local) Bremer (Kinda local) Coca-Cola (They'll sponsor anything) Standing Rock/Spirit Lake (Hmmm? Doubt it) Jonathan Toews (He's making 875,000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's a rip-off promotion during the playoffs that originated with the Winnipeg Jets having all of the fans wearing white. nothing wrong with ripping it off. its fun for the fans and it looks great. the coyotes do it here as well coming from winnipeg whe they do make the playoffs which isnt often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in Wisconsin Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Never said there was anything wrong with ripping this idea off... I think it's safe to assume whenever someone uses the term "ripping off" or "rip-off", it has a negative connotation with it. So you don't have to say "It's a rip-off promotion during the playoffs that originated with the Winnipeg Jets having all of the fans wearing white, and thats wrong."

If you rip off my t-shirt its wrong. But if you rip off my rip-off T-shirt its OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
