Then you did nothing wrong, but if someone wears the new white Reebok jersey to a Flames playoff game in Calgary, then they are indeed doing something wrong.

I would conceed that if someone maxed out their Visa to go and watch the Flames play on the road, then a white Flames jersey is more than sufficient for the occasion.

I know that when the playoffs come around, I but a "Red only" color wheel in my DLP. RED RED RED RED

I have the 1986 playoff video of the Calgary Flames on the front is the FLAMING C and "öf red"

C of Red - no poll required.

Yeah, because we are playing an away game at the dome.

Okay. So in 1986 and 1989, the Flames were playing their away games at the dome?

I just dont see it as a black and white situation. (or red and white for this thread). I think there are some reasons why people would rather wear their white jersey (superstition, gift from mom, etc). And I don't think we can critisize them without knowing why?

If they own both jerseys and choose to wear the white, then I can see your point (i don't agree with it, but i see it nonetheless). But if it's a gift from mom, or just plain superstition, I think it's fine

If you're at a pub, or I see you on the street, I'll shake your hand.

If you're in the dome, I'll be disappointed that you've tried so hard and failed so epically.


Try to grasp the concept that it's not about you!

But I already know the reason why I am criticizing them.

Go Albert! If I saw a Flames fan mocking another Flames fan for proudly wearing his/her brand new white Flames jersey I'd punch them in the face and rip their red jersey right off their backs. Half you guys are like hall monitors, get a grip. Let's just make sure everyone is loud, and ya, try to wear red if you can.

You lose at being a Flames fan.

So you don't support Flames fans beating up Oilers fans, but you support Flames fans wearing red chasing other Flames fans that wear white?

HUH???

Don't just keep the red theme at the Dome. Do it at work, and home and everywhere you can think gof.

If you use FireFox, use a theme that is predominantly red.
Change all your light bulbs to red.
Paint the walls red
Use red food colouring

I'm even going to bleed red blood!

You're either being antagonizing, or you're a certifiable *insert personal insult here*

Stop it! You're going to give all the hall monitors on CP some "great" ideas

[troutman]

That's why I drink red, red wine.

I thought you were giving up?

WEAR RED! It's a simple concept.

GO TO THE RED MILE! It's a simple concept and proves that you support your team!!

No, I reccommend that those not in red, wear pants that they can run fast in. I also never said the mob could attack someone not in red....just chase after them.

I think they should change the default font to be red during the playoffs. And the smilies should all be in red. And the yellow bars separating the sections should be changed to red. Everything should be red.

Better red than dead!

LOL...I'm loving how everyone is piling on the sarcasm/hyperbole bandwagon at the expense of the one guy whose detector needs a severe upgrade.

For me its all in fun. Red this and red that doesn't make me any more or less of a Flames fan than anybody else. The C of Red is a site to behold and it would be nice if everybody could get on board, just because they don't doesn't make them non-Flames fans or that they should be flogged, but if you are a Flames fan, why be different just to be different in the C of Red? A person can do what they want to do, but the C of Red is just that extra something that makes the playoffs more fun.
