Why doesnt everybody bring white rally towels so we can look more unified? Just an idea..A good one or a stupid one..thats for you to decide...

I say we just bring a Wall of Sound. I guarantee you they'll know we're there....
Black Death Towels would be cool though...... :cool:

that might be first time some of the Barra will see team walk onto the pitch before game :p
Last time we were in jersey I brought 12 "6:2" signs for people to lift up when teams came out but that didn't work out that well (it was a last minute idea so I can blame myself for not talking to anyone else first). Tho it seams that lone 6:2 that was up made enough impact so I know it was a good idea. It's a long uphill fight from "you guys are blocking my view" to stands that look like this

Give them to ESC for drying tears and blowing noses. :D

You swing them above your head. With a section of people it would be a cool visual (but it could also mean wacking people next to you in the head!)
The SEs made up some white ones with our logo a few years ago as a membership premium.

like with scarves but different because it would be single color? Makes sense :) I'm big fan of anything big and visual ;)
What ESC? Once they were down one goal I couldn't tell them from rest of the crowd, how would we find them :D

DCU had a huge box of the free Campbell's soups/DCU giveaway towels at the Blackout Blowout last night so Dave and Vicky graciously helped liberate them for the trip so we'll have a TON for the SEs and BB.

I take it those were white? I'll still look into some black ones. I think it would be really cool to see the BB/SE waving a couple hundred black ones at the next home game. :cool:

They are white.....if anyone has any suggestions on dying/coloring them black while maintaining the DCU logo I could do them tonight and have them ready for tomorrow. Unless noone cares whether the logo shows or not, then I can soak them in black dye and dry them by morning.

On Wed eve I did a search on the net for black golf/rally towels on the net and to get REALLY cheap ones (like $.75/$.85 each with no imprint) you had to order like 500 of them (that's A LOT of towels!) I also looked at other sites for handtowels or even dish towels and to get 100 or so (for the SEs and BB busses) it was going to be more than I wanted to spend of my personal $$ (I gotta run club expenses by the Cmte).
I have though, ordered a case of black leis (144, plenty for the travelling SE and BB gang) that either can be worn or waved.

How many do you have? I might try it on one or two and see how they turn out.
