Default Wear your colors day - March 3rd

Because I'm a mass producer of random thoughts, I figured I'd run this one by all of you.

A "Sport your Revs Colors" day. March 3rd. Why March 3? It's a Saturday, and usually (for me at least) Saturdays are errand days. The date is arbitrary - I picked it because it's a month from today.

The premise - we all wear Revs jerseys, hats, hoodies or anything else Revs-related around our respective towns, cities, neighborhoods, etc. Encourage as many people as you can to do this. Two cool things that I think would come out of this:

1. The responses. I've worn my Revs Dempsey jersey while shopping and going out with friends few times over the past year or so, and I've gotten a few questions about it. Questions are good. Without sounding like a Jimmy Swaggart-type, I think it would be a good way to "spread the word."

2. Running into others also wearing Revs stuff. I live in RI, and I know there are few people on the board that also hail from Little Rhody and southeastern MA, and I think it would be just cool to run into other fans that I've never met and say hello.

I think it would be an all-around interesting experiment.

What do you guys think?

I'm in. I wear my Revs gear as much as I can anyway (Revs scarf at the Bayern Munich match this past week, wore my Revs jersey all day today flying from Lyon to Frankfurt and home). And I did get some questions about the Revs that I was happy to answer!

Got my vote. Not sure how many people from Lynn will know the Revs, but hey, never know! I will go to the malls or something.

If I go out I'll wear something, but I'll most likely either be:

A. Hungover

B. At home sleeping

I will also join in. Almost always wear one of my pieces of Revs gear when I go out anyway.I own T shirts, one Rev jacket, a couple of sweatshirts, and my MOST PRECIOUS POSESSION-- CLINT DEMPSEY'S OWN GAME WORN JERSEY-given to me by him off his back after a home game near the end of last season.

I wear my Revs jersey around DC frequently anyway. Occasionally I get some funny looks, but mostly nobody makes any comment.

There's a professor at my school in Vermont that gave me all kinds of looks after we beat DC in the Conference Final this year. Boy was that great! I will def join in, but I'm in Vermont so it won't really be noticed at all.

I wear my Revs scarf out everyday now in Chicago, damn its cold here. The great thing is that I never go a single week not seeing someone with a red scarf on and that for some reason they always slowdown to give me look over. I feel so loved over here

Anytime I would go out to a party back in school, I would always wear a soccer kit, just so the soccer fans would come out of the woodwork and talk to me.

About a year ago I wore my Reyna Manchester City kit to a party, where half of the people were exchange students from the University of Leeds (no Leeds fans, though). They couldn't believe an American knew about Man City. I was the hit of the party. And when they found out I had tickets to the World Cup, they practically started to worship me.

I may have felt like crap the next morning, but my ego was sure feeling great.
