More Green?

I think twice or thrice would be perfect. Once or twice around Christmas then another around St. Patty’s Day.

have it on the Toys for Tots night, then auction off the jerseys for the foundation

That’s a fantastic idea!!

I could easily change my mind for a white jersey retro night. Good idea on toys for tots. You should bring that up to one of the Devils Generals . . .

Wear it for St. Patrick’s Day. Not for Christmas.

Neither holiday is practiced in any sense which resembles its own tradition, as both have been sacrificed upon the alter of corporatism. Further, many people do not recognize either day as meaningful, celebrate Christmas in January without that color scheme, or honor Yule.

So, the Devils should not play a role in advancing such pseudo-religiosity for the sake of gimmicky hockey. However, if the Devils wish to take advantage of the Christmas bonanza by marketing the red-green jerseys, I will not object. Everyone else is doing it.

At least on St. Patrick’s Day there is no pretense of religiosity anymore. Also, there exists a long tradition of Irish (Catholic) immigration in New Jersey, the US, and Canada. So, I respect the annual hoopla. Let the green-wearing continue and the green beer flow.

I note the Catholic tradition not because St. Patrick was Catholic, but because the Protestant tradition of Ireland and Northern Ireland (Ulster, Ulster Scots, etc.) is associated with the color orange. There are many Protestant Irish, Scots-Irish, etc., in the United States and Canada as well, and many of those folks arrived to these shores during the colonial era and before the mid-century Irish potato famine. In any case, St. Patrick is not someone to whom they tip their hat.

So, green for St. Patrick’s Day. Sure, why not. But if they didn’t, I wouldn’t care.

I’m ambivalent on the question of third jerseys, though I think a black version of their current design (with red shoulders) and horizontal stripe would be cool. Of course, I have such a jersey. I’m biased.

I have had several green jersey’s over the years, and yet only one black one. Call me old school, but I was kind of upset when they changed to the black anyway, so I am extremely biased towards the green. At least the jersey’s didn’t go from black & yellow to sky blue & navy. What were they thinking?

Since the devils are wearing the classic jersey tomorrow, will the capitals wear there classic jersey from the winter classic? Except they will have to wear a white helmet instead of red.

id rock those suckers all the time. if i lost..i switched to the modern ones.

old school white=win

Oh man, I would be thrilled if they did it twice a year; red/green around Xmas and white/green on St. Patty’s.

I’d like to see the white ones. I’m still holding out hope we get surprised and they’re wearing them tonight!

I think doing them one time each season is cool enough. No reasoning behind it really, just how I feel haha.
