Saints Players Want Fans to Blackout Dome

PrintI've been noticing a trend on Twitter among all of the Saints players and figured it was worth mentioning here on Da Chronic. Apparently, they want everyone going to the game this Saturday to wear black. The best way to do that, of course, is to purchase one of the t-shirts they are promoting. Proceeds benefit the city of New Orleans. Here's is what they're saying via the internet's latest social networking craze. I'm throwing in a few unrelated tweets from Shockey just because, well, they're awesome.
For those of you going to the game, be sure to wear black. But make sure your pants are gold.

I wish I could be there!!
"Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." --Mike Tyson
Possible explanation...
We are wearing black jerseys and gold pants (as per Jeff Duncan)…. and fans will be all in black… something tells me the Cards may get a little confused on the field….??
You gotta go there to come back
that could play into our favor
Or it could help Warner out by being able to spot his own recievers. One will never know till game time
just as it could help him spot his recievers better, it would also disguise our defenders…

The Dome will look very dark and menacing
Kinda like a Cloud of death hovering all around with the sound of a awesome brain busting Thunder…………………….Totally Awesome !!!!!! They need to play Garth Brooks “As the lightening stikes and the heart grows cold” during player introductions for a chilling effect. Scares me to think about it.

Warner and Brees=class, Favre and Romo=crass. Naturally, FOX sends its smarmy PBP crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to the Twin Cities. This game will be MUCH better.

No Joe Buck
is almost better news than no black pants. How long do you think it will take before America catches on the Buck knows nothing about football?
BURN THE BLACK PANTS!!!
He knows what is disgusting
Pooping pantomimes. Best Randy Moss incident EVER.
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door,
Better not let him in.
and furthermore
That was classic Joe Buck, jumping the gun and speaking his mind for our edification. Unless and until Randy “wiped”, a reasonable person would have assume that he was shooting the moon, not dumping a load. Should’ve had Michael Irvin or Deion at hand to defend Moss. I thought it was funny and I still do, especially after hearing how those Packer fans treat the visiting teams and their fans.

My Magnificent Black and Goald Warriors
great idea! which leads me to the following question for all CSCers
I read an article that I’m sure most of you also read about Brees ( i believe it was a fanshot on this site). The article said that when Brees was at Purdue, a lot of the fans would paint a brown birthmark on their cheek in support of Drew and that he wasn’t offended by it. What do y’all think about that? Is it inappropriate? Is it something our fanbase should adopt, too? I’m not really sure what to think.

Someone should pull the plug on the lights at the dome, and there'd be a REAL BLACKOUT
It’s LIGHTS OUT for you, Kurt!
"In the end, the bread was in the pudding." -- Bobby McCray
I DON'T MIND MAKING HISTORY
Another Idea
Why doesn’t the dome turn down the lights during pregame introductions as the players run out of the tunnel like the NBA does before games? I think that would get the crowd even more pumped. Combine that with the fan blackout and some ying yang twins, can you imagine the noise?

The lights in the Dome take too long to come up once they shut down.
Once they’re on, if they go down it takes 20 minutes to an hour to start back up again. It would be a nice effect, though.

when the lights go down
the video boards they could show a montage of great plays in saints history and the current season, then bring it to a crescendo by playing ‘the saints are coming’ while showing Greenday and U2 are performing it. The place would go nuts

…I told them I’d think about it, if they’d supply playoff tickets.
(I’m 600 miles away, and really can’t do that right now, but it was fun to dream.)

Tickets (legit ones) are easy to get and suprisingly cheap...
At TicketMasters TicketXchange, you can get 2 together on the corner (not endzone) in the 600’s for around $150 each.
I paid $105 for the MNF game vs. ATL.
