Union Gear & Swag Catch-All [PART 4]

You give them crispy, they ask for peanut.

 

I have two authentic Union jerseys in XL: 2015 home Nogueira (5) and 2013 home Le Toux (11).

Would anybody be interested in swapping for these with a medium or large?

Seriously, that's effing awful

 

As much as I don't want to spend money..............I think it's time I made a T-Shirt......which hash tag should I put on it?

#Curtins

or

#CurtinCall

or

#CurtinOut

or

#FireCurtin

 

How about #CloseTheCurtin

 

it's hideous, but in a good way... maybe?

 

I really like them. Guess I'm crazy. Will def purchase one.

EDIT: Talked to the folks in the store last night. They seemed a little underwhelmed by these. The warm-ups are apparently VERY small. The quote was: "They fit even smaller than the authentic jerseys." You will probably need to size up about two sizes, which sucks when you wear XXL. I'm still going to purchase one for my collection. Just sad that even if I was at my lowest weight, the darn thing will absolutely never fit.

 

borderline Double A baseball stuff here

 

Probably why it appeals to me, lol.

 

there is nothing wrong with liking it. just saying these gimmicks, like the demolition derby, have a minor league feel to it

 

Exactly.......The eagles, Flyers, Philles and 76ers don't do this. Hell, neither do the Bed Bulls, NYCFC, New England Revs, Orlando City, Chicago Fire, etc.....

 

What are you talking about? The Phillies have a stupid theme for EVERY game:

Game of Thrones night??
In the Biz night??
Fiat Italian Heritage night??

And, every "theme night" has a stupid gimmick to go along with it.

 

Demolition Derby night is a bit different then Italian Heritage night...............

 

You guys are ridiculous:






EDIT:
Before someone comes at me saying this isn't a sanctioned Eagles event fine.... the Predators had the same promotion last month:

I also fail to see how a warmup like this is any different from this:

 

How so? They're both ways to get money from sponsors (e.g. Fiat) and to get fans to buy tickets who might not otherwise go absent the promotion.

Look, I'm against EVERY promotion, drum line, juggler, cheerleader, parachute drop, t-shirt cannon, demolition derby and, as someone with "Jewish heritage," Phillies "Jewish Heritage night" (
http://m.mlb.com/phillies/tickets/info/jewish-heritage-celebration -- password is "MATZ" (WTF is that??)), but I get it.

 

I agree with that. Perception wise......they're different. Demolition Derby paints a different picture then say....*Insert Fan Favorite Player Name* Bobble Head Night, or Fiat Italian Heritage Night......

 

How so? Is it the "demolition" part?

And, is the team pronouncing it "DARBY"? Now, THAT would produce douche chills.

 

Maybe it's just me. When I hear Demolition derby, I think of Truck & Tractor Pulls, Monster trucks, and the State Fair. Now don't get me wrong, I love the NYS Fair. Food smorgasborg, and the people watching is epic.......especially the final day when they have the....you guessed it...demolition derby, monster trucks, truck and tractor pulling!

It just doesn't say major professional sporting event to me.

And it's Father's Day!!! The marketing department couldn't come up with a promotion centered around THAT??

I could see trying Demolition Derby Night against say Columbus or Orlando on a random Saturday afternoon in May, July or August.....But Father's Day, against RBNY???? Seriously??? They try to paint the NY Teams as "rivals" and then they put this "promotion" on the day of the game???? That's just minor league IMO.

 

Minor league teams usually have way better promotions than the Union.

 

With 81 home games you need that nonsense
