Thundersticks! Please No!

Raiderman74 · 04-12-2012, 01:37 PM

After watching the video on the senators website of the Sens Mile Opening with Jim Watson and Cyril Leeder, I noticed that the people were walking down Elgin St with thundersticks. That hurt me a little bit inside haha. I cannot stand thundersticks.

The easiest thing to do is just make red towels if they want to follow with the Red idea but red thundersticks are an awful idea. I would much rather fans make their own noise instead of terrible manufactured noise.

I know this is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I hate thundersticks.

I went into SBP yesterday and they are talking about putting Vuvuzela's under every seat, im sure you are thrilled

I've heard other people say that they hate thundersticks too. I like towels, but the sticks don't bother me at all. Better than pom poms.

I'd find that amusing

I'd like to see them pick out the drunkest, loudest Sens fans in the building, and give them loud speakers.

woohoo towels!

Legend Killer · 04-12-2012, 01:44 PM

I heard they were going to let ppl bring in those plastic noise makers... Sirens... Air horns... Vuvuzelas etc

Oh god...I hate the thundersticks as well. I think Ottawa probably has the worst marketing team in the history of the NHL. I'm not gonna show the spartan, but you all know what I mean...

Who is this "spartan" you speak of?

Please don't.

Raiderman74 · 04-12-2012, 01:46 PM

It's also the fact that most people just put them down after the first little bit, they don't do anything. Towels look awesome when we score and in my opinion I find it odd to thunderstick smash or whatever you do when we score a goal. I would prefer vuvuzelas.

If only...

Better than these

Must be having delusions again. Obviously nothing of the sort has ever happened.

This means absolutely nothing, could have just been used for the rally and that's it.

In all the videos of the series breakdown and Sens practices at SBP you can see white over a bunch of the seats. I'm thinking it's towels again and they've already started putting them out.

Can anyone who works at SBP confirm this?

Towels were great a couple seasons ago. They experimented with the thundersticks and pom poms and I don't think it was very successful.

TOWEL TIME!!

They need to steal the Blue Jays' marketing department. Best in sports by far.

I still want to see a black out with black towels. I know it will never happen as Scotiabank is the primary sponsor but it would be unreal.

Not sure how that would look on TV. There's probably a reason you don't see any teams do it.

Would it show up as well?

Also here's a thought. Going along with he barber pole design, what about black in the 300's, white in the 200's and red in the 100's

Kekumba · 04-12-2012, 02:03 PM

Mixing them up per level would be cool.

Or gold towels and promote everyone to wear red.

I've always thought Red (300s), White (200s) and Black (100s) would be cool!!!

slamigo · 04-12-2012, 02:09 PM

I think I actually still have a white 'Woo-Hoo' towel at home that has OSR 1200 on it.

That would be awesome. I like this idea.

SENSfreak_03 · 04-12-2012, 02:22 PM

If I remember right in 97 against the Sabres they did different coloured pom-poms for the levels. Was pretty cool.

I don't mind pom pom's cause we've had some success with them.

Towels are the best though, probably cheaper for them to buy all one colour though.

I don't think the expense would be a problem. It is still a bulk order, especially since they probably order enough for a possible 16 home playoff games

Qward · 04-12-2012, 02:25 PM

got my vote for different colour towels in each level
