firecenter Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 i know they came out with Rock Your Red last year, but things got scaled back when we found out we were playing the rangers. Anybody know if they are bringing it back. They still have the banners in the corners of the building, so id be shocked if they didnt. if not, what else is their in store for playoff related promotions/events?

CRASHER Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Was never a big fan of it.... home games should be WHITE jerseys (it was good enough for 3 Cups it's gonna enough for me) .... and the Caps kinda stole it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times have changed, red is our home jersey. Though the caps stole the red, its not the same as our Devil Red.

Legion15 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 nah you should wear your colors in front of your home fans. the rule was always weird to me in the past that you wear white at home, every other sport wore their colors or it was home team's choice.

HockeyR53 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I liked white better as a home jersey. Another good point that my friend brought up to me about this was that the fans get to see more colors of jerseys for the away team if white was home.

RunninWithTheDevil Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I always hated white being the home jersey. It's so fvcking boring and you have to see all the other teams wear their team colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulags Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 hopefully they've wisened up and gotten some sponsors together to give out red t-shirts... that's the best way to go about this IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGDevils32 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The rally towel I got at the Devs-Rags playoff game last year is pretty cool but I think they need a new slogan since they lost to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmorrowk Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I always hated white being the home jersey. It's so fvcking boring and you have to see all the other teams wear their team colors. I have to disagree with you and go with HockeyR53 on this one. I find the home team wearing the dark color to be terrible. Seeing red vs. white every single game is the definition of boring. It was much better watching the devils beat teams back in the day when away teams were easily identified by jersey color. While age will always play a factor in the ability to remember games, I think the constant red vs. white makes remembering games harder now than when the colors would vary.

hit the post Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) We have never Won A Cup wearing Red,White Is Right!! I mean at Home Edited April 5, 2009 by hit the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welcometotherock Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 .... and the Caps kinda stole it No: our slogan was "Rock your Red", Caps had "Rock the Red". I mean sure it means the same thing, but the Caps one is really different...I guess Hopefully rock your red will continue this year; it would be awesome to see some more red in the crowd.

Rock Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 If they win 16 games in a playoff season, they could wear mauve or ecru for all I care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan525 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The Playoff "commercial" that they played during intermissions at the last two games had the "Rock Your Red" logo at the end of it, so I guess that means that the campaign will continue this year. It can be found on NJDtv on the Devils site at the very end of the video "This". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 We have never Won A Cup wearing Red,White Is Right!! I mean at Home Pretty sure we won a cup in 2000 wearing read. Just sayin'. As for the Whites Vs. Colors argument, I'm still of the home whites state of mind. I liked the confusion that would set in on opening night, when the home team would be in whites after five weeks of watching the opposite in football. Made me feel like everything was right with the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britoon Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I always hated white being the home jersey. It's so fvcking boring and you have to see all the other teams wear their team colors. THANK YOU! I've been saying this for years. I think its completely silly to not don your home colors in your home building. The whole thing about "good guys wearing white" is lame. ROCK THE RED!

DevilNurn Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Was never a big fan of it.... home games should be WHITE jerseys (it was good enough for 3 Cups it's gonna enough for me).... and the Caps kinda stole it Well, I forget where I saw it, but like in a video or something this year, I saw something Rock-Your-Red related. I think they will bring it back. And as a side note, yes the Caps stole it, and they do it a lot better. They push it so hard though, I guess trying to showcase the last two years (the only recent years they've worn red) and get people to forget about their lack of success over the past oh 20 years or so.

Devils1985 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Down in the ECHL, the home team wears white the first half of the season; then colors the second half. Everyone's happy (for half a season at least). The NHL throws a curve as sometimes the home team wears white now on occasion which just confuses me for about 30 seconds when I tune into a game. I used to be die hard 'white jerseys at home' but I've gotten over it I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulags Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I used to be die hard 'white jerseys at home' but I've gotten over it I guess I second that. It took a few years, but now I've gotten used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firecenter Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 all i really care about is the towels. those are tradition. i dont remember a team ever winning a cup with hand out t-shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCdevil Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 For what it's worth, the Capitals rolled out there "Rock the Red" campaign last year 2 days before the Devils went with "Rock the Red". My favorite part was that instead of giving the red t-shirts out last year the Devils gouged gullible fans for every penny that they could. Let's hope they do better this year.

In all honesty, these ideas are organized to a tee like a month in advance. Its simply a matter of pressing go when the regular season is done. For the record however, the capitals announced theres 2 days after. everyone on the board can attest to that one. While we have a hate on for the capitals marketing crew, how about their "Red is Caps Hockey" slogan for this season. Like what does that even mean. Red is not a verb and can do nothing but describe the color of something. weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what does that even mean. Red is not a verb and can do nothing but describe the color of something. weird. Almost as bad as "Devils Hockey. Live it. Eat it. Breathe it." Um, yeah....well they did win a cup that year so... I think they should just ask fans to wear red and give out towels. I went to Carolina in 2001 and they gave out red t-shirts to everyone there for games 3 and 4 and barely anyone wore them. When we gave out white t-shirts in 2002 hardly anyone wore them. I didn't. I just kept my white jersey on. Most people won't ditch their jersey for a giveaway t-shirt. A red-out would never look that great anyway because half the club seats will be empty for most of the games and the lower level will look like a checkerboard.
