Proposal: Let's get rid of the White-out

Close this stupid thread ASAP

As long as we have snow and blizzards, it’s only fitting we have the white out. It seriously represents us, the life we live here, hardships and struggles. Our success and pride. Only people from here know how it’s like from the Peg, sure we complain, but deep down inside we love it in our hearts. It’s the only way!

Also, please don't answer me because I've put the thread on ignore.

Jets have done very marginally better on the road during the playoffs. To the point that it would be absurd to draw the conclusion that they should prefer to play on the road. This thread is bad and you should feel bad.

Ofcouse the White-out is for the fans. And what's wrong with that? Reading some of the responses, I'm guessing the push back is that the Jets don't wear white at home anymore. I hope that's not the main argument because that's a very weak take. Red wing fans originally threw octopus on the ice because the 8 legs represented the 8 wins needed to win the cup. Now is 16 wins, so should wings fans stop the tradition? Ofcouse not .

To those against the white out : explain to me how it doesn't rally the fans to support the team . Please explain.

The playoffs are about having fun, and the white out is fun. We have so few hockey traditions, why try taking one we actually have away?

How deep do the jets need to go these playoffs for fans to realize the color of clothes fans wear don't determine the outcome of the game?

OP seems to suggest starting a new tradition is like ordering a pizza. Traditions start, they sometimes change and evolve. It's organic. Not all traditions " makes sense" . A tradition is not a math equation that needs to be exact or correct

Speak for yourself - I've been the catalyst for several big goals this season by shifting my position on the couch if things arent looking good!

Yes, the white-out looks cool. But it doesn't work. Time to bury it with the Arizona Coyotes. The Jets do better on the road!

(Even The Hockey Guy has noticed this.)

Fans don't wear white to determine the outcome of any games

They do it to... wait for it.... "have fun"

You try that "having fun" thing sometime yourself

I don't think any fans believe the colour of clothes effects games. IMO it is a way to express province wide solidarity with our team in a fun and tradition filled way. It is a way for even the most casual of fans to embrace the moment and enjoy the experience.

Well, Pizza Pizza is now selling a Whiteout pizza so starting a new tradition isn't as easy as ordering pizza

hahaha this dumb shit again. It's a party for the fans. It has no impact on the actual outcome of the games. It's not why we win and it's not why we lose. It also isn't going anywhere. There's no getting rid of it so get over yourselves. It also has absolutely nothing to do with home jersey colors. It's a freaking blizzard! It's Winnipeg. Jeez.

and another thing! If you want to make a "proposal" to get rid of the Whiteout, doing it here isn't accomplishing anything. Maybe start spamming Chipman or the local media with your proposal and see if you can get some traction. We here at this forum don't decide what the playoff fan party looks like.

I swear I've ignored like 60 troll accounts here

 

[Skidooboy]

maybe the fans should just not go to games then… then the jets would have zero pressure…. they also televise those games and the jets lose!! wait the lights in the Arena were on!

we need empty unattended games in Dark Arenas with no media to win!!!!

this is the stupidest post i think I have ever read.

 

[EpicGingy]

The Jets are on a 7-game winning streak and heading to the playoffs with home ice advantage so I guess we need to bitch about some other stupid thing.

You sir, are a goddamned hero!

 

[Bladerunner62]

Yawn... Maybe its the team play and nothing to do with everyone wearing a colour. Maybe Calgary should stop wearing red? Maybe Washington too. Maybe toronto should wear orange or brown...

Who cares its unity in fandom and adds layers to help create an electric atmosphere. And it has a very well founded reputation.

100% agree. Would however like to see the Jets wear the heritage white for the home games.

Yes, that's the point of my post. Op thinking it has an effect on the game.
