gang green Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I agree with Brasco, a white out would be way more effective than a green/black out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I agree with Brasco, a white out would be way more effective than a green/black out. i think the idea was to create your own identity with the white.green or black out, there are a few teams out there that already do white outs, i think green would be sweet.

Big A HG Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I think the coolest, most unique thing to do would to have alternating sections of color. This would have to be done by giving out the t-shirts by handing them out either right before the game when you're in the seats, or having the shirts sitting on the seats when you get there. Then alternate the sections white and green all the way around for a cool, unique, contrasting idea. The only problem with this is that you cannot coordinate this outside of the arena, unless the actual game ticket specifies what you should wear.

WiSioux Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Not exactly sure what the connection would be, other than supporting UND... but as many of you may know it's UND's 125 year celebration this year. As part of the celebration it has been organized to take a HUGE group photo with approximately 5,000 people on the lawn forming the UND flame logo. I know the person that is recruiting people to be in the picutre and the majority of the free t-shirts that they are giving to the participants are green. That's around 5,000 green shirts right there. The front has the UND 125 Year logo in white and the back has the Barnes and Noble logo also in white. If we could get word out to people to save their shirts, that'd be half the crowd right there in the same shirt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 If someone puts their mind to it, this can be done and done EASILY. In the first college football game in their stadium after 9/11, someone in Aggieland at Texas A&M came up with this: If 80,000 football fans can do THAT, surely someone can get 10,000 fans in Grand Forks to do something.

WiSioux Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Is that you volunteering to help? Now that I'm all moved into my apartment in Grand Forks and relatively settled, I can probably devote more time to trying to track down people to help me attempt to organize a green out. While most of us have said that doing this during the Gopher Series would be the best option, that's less than four months away... can we plan that fast? My other concern is that Minneapolis is relatively close and there are Gopher fans that come to the games up here. In fact there are even students that would consider themselves Gopher fans first.... will it look bad if there is random yellow and maroon within the green? Would it be a better plan to pick a series such as UAA where the chance of opposing fans attending will be much smaller? At least for the first year and in following years (because hopefully this repeats) we can pick the Gopher series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will ALWAYS be visiting fans who muck up the color scheme. Personally, I think it's even more intimidating when you see the flood of green with a spackling of maroon and gold around. Heck, it'd be like Mariucci Arene when the Sioux are in town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willistonsioux Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I normaly just read the topics but I thought I would put my 2 cents in on this one. I think the best way to do this would put t-shirts on the seats. Maybe like put green on the lower leval and white on the uppper. That would look pretty cool I would think. Just have some sporting goods store or a shirt store to donate the shirts. Have it call "that store" green out day. Or just have them pay half and UND pay the other.

dj_hoime Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 They could say "green out" on the front and have bussineses that donated money on the back!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 They could say "green out" on the front and have bussineses that donated money on the back!?? Are you volunteering to help research t-shirt price to find out how much we would need to raise and then help contact and convince businesses to donate money? Cuz I'm thinking that is WAY too complicated for me... I'd rather go with everyone has something green... lots of shades of green would be cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiSioux Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Good idea.... colors would work fantastically! I also just received a message from someone involved with Student Government saying they think it's a great idea and would be interested in helping... just have to stop by the office once school starts.

soSIOUXme Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 footlocker green t-shirts reg. $9.99 , $2.99 ea. if you buy 5 ( bought some today ) ***they have white ones for the same price too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 What would the best way to go about selling shirts be? Contact the Sioux Shop and/or Barnes and Noble and see if they'll sell them... I'd imagine the Ralph wouldn't appreciate a table being set up in front of their building with a bunch of shirts. I'm still at the point of exploring all options. Perhaps if the second round of people at the Athletic Office ever get back to me, or when I talk to Student Government and Sioux Crew I can get a better idea...

WiSioux Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 who did you talk to? The PR girl, Tara? I talked to Amanda because I know her, but she said that when I come in I could also ask for Tara... For those that are further awway and find it difficult to help plan this but are still interested, I was thinking we should make some sort of logo or something that we can put on a sign to hang up (everywhere). I can find pictures on my computer and put together a collection, but I have seen another thread with ideas for a SS.com logo and those are so much better. If you are computer talented and would be interested in coming up with "Green Out" logo ideas feel free to post some in this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
