Read this on another fan site. They want everyone to wear a white shirt/jersey because a large crowd is expected. Let those bandwagon Caps fans stand out. Just figured I'd pass the info along incase anyone wants to participate. |

Yup Yup. I was gonna post this here. Let's get this party started. You have a mission. Get your ass a seat for saturday. Wear white. Wave a towel. Bring your lungs. Isles expecting nearly 14k, lets rock the old barn to it's foundation. Tell those bandwagon caps fans this is islander country. Spread the word on twitter or facebook, whiteoutthered. let's remind these ****s how the old house on hempstead can shake. Any questions? |

Cap fans are a joke! Low hockey IQ. Ignorant cappachino, cell talkin' yuppies. Makes me sick when I hear players say its one of the hardest places to play.

I emailed it to them, they sent an RT tweet with it I just know how to read the twitter boards not tweet but apparently it's caught on. Vin, great idea. I know we're 14th in conference and 27th overall. But I'm proud of the way these guys have played and I'll worry about the level of play early next year... right now, they've earned some support.

I forwarded your pic on Twitter as well. Hope it was ok. I don't actually own any white Islander jersey or t-shirt but I've become pretty pale this winter so just because I can't attend the game I'll settle with that.

Just spoke to the Isles PR staff. THey are aware of it and are going to promote the hell out of it. The Isles have a PR staff? Really? These things NEVER work here. Who remembers the orange out for the '93 playoffs vs. Wash? Only half the crowd wore it. If it ever worked and 14K showed Sat it'll be 9K in white and 5K in red and a whole lotta empties.

The white out worked in the 2002 playoffs. But I agree this is something that will never work for a regular season game. |

The internet could make it possible this time, no? |

I'll be wearing to show solidarity with my fellow fans. Albeit all the way from my couch in Maryland. I like the idea of a color scheme but white should belong to the city of Winnipeg and the Jets. If it works on Saturday at the Coliseum, how long do you think it'll take until some CBC or TSN commentator comments that it's fans preparing the organization for a possible switch to Manitoba. It'll probably happen whatever the color happens to be, but why help it out? If the organization wants to show it's support for the fans then take this ball and run with it. You have three and a half days to secure as many t-shirts as you can in one color or another. Have truckloads of either orange or royal blue shirts waiting for fans as they arrive. Give Charles and Garth a box each and have them go up and down the aisles, filling in the blanks where people are not wearing. It can be a great opportunity for them to show that we're all in this together. We have a unique way of making supreme events out of seemingly minuscule days on the schedule. It's our way of reminding the media and the other fans of the league that we have greater numbers than they give us credit for. Let's put our unique stamp on this and not have it echo a long lost franchise that was relocated; because that is what everyone thinks we are anyway. I wish like hell I could be there with you guys.
