The New Zealand All Blacks are the best rugby team in the world, and I'm sure there'll be a more than a few AB jerseys in the crowd. Heres hope the Cat's can draw on some of the AB mystique. They should do a Haka, that would be cool.
Boy it’s starting to get difficult here with my boycott; I’d really like to see this “black out” night farce go down; but I guess I’ll just have to read about it in the paper…
I agree, it sounds like fun and a good way to show support for the team. I don’t know if this factored into the decision but psychological studies show that teams wearing black play more aggressively than teams wearing other colours. On the downside, these same studies also indicate that teams wearing black take more penalities than teams wearing other colours. Could be trouble considering that we are already the most penalized team in the league.!! Given the black theme and the need to pay back Winnipeg, this is going to be a hard hitting game reminicent of the good old days. Go Cats!!
I seem to recall studies which confirm a person in opposition displays more aggressiveness when confronted with black. eg. Prisoners are less trouble if cells are painted yellow or pink. Maybe black sports team uniforms are actually working against the wearers?
Personally, I'll be wearing the same black Ticat jersey I always wear.....so nothing changes for me....but it is kind of an odd idea considering how hot it is outside.
I work in an environment that adds 10-20 degrees to an already scorching day and the physical exertion is more than most jobs, to come home and put on something black so I can roast on the north side doesn't get me all excited.....but if black is the dress code so be it....just gimme a win and I'll wear friggin saran wrap.
