Green Jerseys for Army

[military_irish]

Not true.

They wore green '77 throwbacks in 2007 and lost to USC.

True my bad, but as in the post I responded to he/she said they haven't won since Lou. So I am partially correct.

But I accept my mistake

If I'm not mistaken the greens are being worn here because the ND/Army game used to be played at the original Yankee Stadium. This is more of a throw back to honor the rivalry.

i heard no facemasks for this game.

The question now becomes, what is Army going to wear?

They've got some funky new uniforms this year, any indication that they'll be busting out those new all silver uniforms with the black helmets?

Green vs. Silver...could look pretty cool in primetime!

Official!!! - Green Jerseys, per Coach Kelly!

 

[military_irish]

I say they just have the whole broadcast in black and white so it really is a tribute to the old times when they first started playing in Yankee Stadium.

Or one team wheres all black and the other wears all white.

Why announce it!!?!??! Sigh.

NO!!! The green jerseys are cursed! Everytime they've been worn since Lou retired we've lost the game. ESPN gets a big kick out of the "curse of the green jerseys." Please, BK put em back!

But on another note, I can see why he'd save them for this game, it's not because it's Army, it's because we're christening the new field in NY.

We didn't lose that game in green jersey, did we?

 

[irishtrinity]

thats what i'm talking about

 

[Stoic]

Fact of the matter is we've been upsetted in our Navy and White jersey more than in the Green ones..

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

Well thank you for adjusting the "she" haha. Again, sorry for my misinformation. I just shudder everytime I see the green jerseys because of Bob Davie.

 

[Shamrocks and Shenanigans]

I'm willing to bet we have a much higher winning % in blue then green.

 

[BearGB]

Well, even though they have seemed to be "cursed" recently, that would never be a surprising stat because the green jerseys are stereotypically worn for tough games. Therefore, you should have a lower winning percentage in those games.

Can't be too sure from that video. We are definitely capable to give away a game like that with all that time left, so, could've gone either way.

I don't believe that this game would fall under the tough games stat....Stick with blue.

Haha my boss just said he'd compensate me if I walked to ND right now and picketed BK's office against green.

Hard to have a green out in a neutal stadium though...

 

[lookingdeadred]

Green jerseys are a gimmick

Green jerseys are a gimmick

ND should not need gimmicks to beat Army.

I know (hence the lol). But its hard to have a green out even in our own stadium! and theres TONS of ND fans in NYC. Maybe atleast ALL ND fans could you know? (not gonna happen I know )

Its not a gimmick. Its respect for the History of this game, its fantastic for the Seniors and its just over all cool. And in fact, we'll take whatever help we can get to get a W and into a bowl game.

If there is a green out, it needs to be earlier in the season. As the year progresses, the stadium goes from green/grey/white is to entirely Navy Blue. With the cold weather, it is hard to find green Irish gear. I think a green out would be cool, but it needs to be executed at the beginning of the season.

All they need to do for the green out is the exact same thing all the other schools do. Give the shirts away. In the winter use green towels, like the Terrible Towel.

I'll be at the game, I will be sure to wear something green for you.

Having season tickets for Irish basketball for several years, I know as well as anybody that nobody (mostly people over the age of 40) wears the t-shirts they give away for blackouts - despite the climate controlled conditions. If they hand out t-shirts for a warm September game, more people will wear them. However, not all 80,000 fans are going to take the time to slip a shirt over their jackets and sweatshirts.
