White, and why you should wear it

by Jake Whitacre on Apr 23, 2008 12:56 PM EDT in Silly Stuff

As you've probably heard by now, the Wizards are doing a white out for Games 3 and 4 at the Verizon Center. In order to get you fully prepared for it, I've completed an unofficial FAQ for the proper etiquette of a white out:

Q: Do I really have to wear this T-Shirt?

A: Yeah, you do. You see, getting everyone to wear the same color shirt is the new big thing in sports promotion, but there's always a few jerks that ruin it by not wearing the shirts. DON'T BE THAT JERK. If we can get every person in the VC to wear white (besides the Cavs) there's no way we can lose.

Q: What if there's a Cavs fan in attendance?

A: Spray him with shaving cream! [Ed. note - Don't actually do that, please. The last thing this series needs is a riot.]

Q: Is there's a specific reason they chose white?

A: Because white = awesome. Not to mention that it sure beats using a color like yellow that's nowhere in the color scheme:

Q: But I'm wearing my authentic Caron Butler away jersey!

A: That's not a question.

Q: Um, what should I do if I'm wearing my authentic Caron Butler jersey? Can I just wear the T-Shirt under the jersey?

A: No! Keep Caron closer to your heart by wearing it inside the T-Shirt, and let white shine on like a fluorescent light...or something like that.

Q: Should I wear white before the game too?

A: Yes! If possible, try to coordinate as many things as possible to be white on the days of the next two games. White shirt, white pants, white shoes, white toothbrush, and ride the white line on Metro to get to the game.

Q: Metro has a white line?

A: Nope. It looks like you'll be taking the bus!

Q: If I wear white, will Eddie Jordan wear a white tux like Rick Pitino did?

A: One can only hope.

THAT's an effing suit

If Eddie wears a suit like Pitino’s, we’re already winners.

No shaving cream?

really? Not even a little bit? Hmm, I’m going to have to think of alternative means of torturing Cleveland fans. I hope to hell I am not sitting next to a Cleveland fan. I’ll have to accidentally spill something on him/her to make him go clean up and give me a break from his sure to be obnoxiousness. I’m trying to get myself in a better frame of my mind that my usual pessimism so I can be a good and loud fan tomorrow. Not sure when game 6 tickets go on sale. They already have a date – May 2 so I’m guessing maybe by next Mon after these two games.

This is DC...

for some reason I just don’t see everybody doing this…I’m going to both games and I completely forgot about it until I read this post…hopefully they’ll give white tees out to people when they arrive!

I'm almost positive that's what they'll do

Normally they leave XL t-shirts on each seat, and if it’s the wrong size you can go to the gift store or whatever to get one your size. Which really leaves the jerks that don’t wear the t-shirt with no excuse as to why they don’t wear it.
