Whose idea to wave white towels?

[Typhus]

I don't care what color, if having a towel in your hand keeps fans off their cell phones, and actually being interactive and vocal, give them free towels for every game.

Who cares what color...why not silver or gray then.

or Cowboy green?

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Best game I've ever been to

were there many Philthy fans there?

 

[Silver Surfer]

But what would they be surrendering?

Their hearts to their new hero.....

Unfortunately, yes. My section was filled with them. It was disappointed but rewarding at the end!


The meaning of the white towels literally never crossed my mind until this thread lol. I think it looks great though, the sea of white and blue looks fantastic. It stands out more than a blue or gray would. I can tell you for a fact that the towels help keep fans engaged because I went with three guys that were going to their first game. Two were Cowboy fans and were great. One just started watching NFL and waved the hell out of that towel.

The towels do wash out the opposing fans in the crowd. I think you might have seen much more green without them

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

White is likely cheaper.

 

[CVN68_Cowboys]

The Steelers didn't invent waving towels, and white was chosen because it stands out more. There's a reason nobody really waves black towels around.

 

[Risen Star]

When Carsus of Bismarck is present you wave the white flag.

Also white is easier to see and notice. So a dark color towel would not be the same.

Pretty much this.

yea blue would not work and at the old stadium they did pass out blue when the end zones were painted the lighter blue. The white looks great.

I have a stack of about 25 towels from various games. my daughter loves the pink ones.

No. Fewest I've ever seen at a Cowboys/eagles game.

 

[theebs]

They use white because our home Jerseys are white I would assume. Don't they refer to it as white out?

they did but the last time they said those words was the playoff game vs. the giants in january of 08. There have been no white outs requested since.

Your section maybe, but there were very few there in general. I literally had zero in my section. There were like 2 in the section over.

It was Wentz's idea after he realized he can only pass a 4.7 yds per attempt against the vaulted Dallas secondary.

basically none in mine and because I am in the visitors side i am in the prime area where they end up. Almost none.

I will say this, all those johnny come lately fans who are showing up because they are winning in parking lot 11 last night were awful to the eagles fans. I saw some 50 year old cowboys fans taunting and smacking some teenage eagles fans with foam fingers and throwing paper cups at them. Pretty classless stuff. Those are the same fans who would start fights if the eagles fans did that to them.

My friend dresses up like a ref and throws yellow flags at eagles fans. He also handed out Ring Pops, telling them that was the closest thing to a Super Bowl ring they'll ever see. It's all in fun.

my 3 favorite games I've been to were the

1. Greenbay NFC championship when Troy hit Harper for that long 97 yard TD I believe it was.
2. 94 Thanksgiving game against KC when Dale Carter got ejected
3. 2011 SF game when Romo punctured his lung

#1 is frikken sweeet!

I know this started a few years ago, but who chose white when blue couldve been used instead? I honestly dont care for them waving towels, let the stealers have that, but if you have to then wave blue instead of white.

White looks better on TV.
