Exactly...thanks Dillan...but I haven't heard any protests being organized by yourself to the CSA anytime recently.
Wow...someone could make a bundle selling all black t-shirts in the parking lot...probably buy each one for like $3-4 and sell them for 10. Sell a couple thousand to all the people that did not get the memo about Black Wednesday and make a bundle.
I'm the guy organizing the Black T-shirt for next Wednesday. I'm not looking to make money on this. In fact, I'll probably lose some money on it but that's not my concern. Here is a preview of what the T-Shirt is going to look like. The design is not awe inspiring but that's not the goal. It was intended to be legible. If you are interested in a shirt, I will be arranging a meeting place before the game to distribute them. They will be sold for $5.00 each for L and XL and $7.00 for XXL. This is NOT being done for profit. This is being done with hope that 500 people will choose to "voice" their discontent with the CSA through a visual protest while still cheering the boys on the field. Please feel free to PM me if you want more information about how to get a shirt.
WOW $5 is super cheap...do you have a friend at the printing company? Where will you be selling the shirts on game day?

sorry, i forgot how clueless and dysfunctional the CSA is. As of now, the all black on wednesday is our best and most effective option. Hopefully it works.
Tomorrow at 1:30 pm we will be on CFRB 1010 in Toronto. Please listen and call in if the opportunity presents itself. We have received a lot of contacts today--this is going to get covered. Now, we need to pull it off. All together (wearing black)!
At least one national journalist is meeting us at Shoeless Joe's tomorrow between 4-4:30pm to "set the scene" for his story on Black Wednesday/the game. If you can make it to the bar at that time, it would be great.
A couple articles that touch on the protest: Brunt: http://www.globesports.com/servlet/...obeSportsSoccer Mallett: http://www.globesports.com/servlet/...ortsSoccer/home A story just went out over the wire as well.
