Is it time to pull out the BLACK unis for Cincy?
what do you think about pulling out the Black unis for Thursday night? Get a fresh start since our last away game wasn't good at all. Added bonus, black is one of Cincy's main colors. I think it would be cool.

you asked why, ok, for one we have only worn them once this year. why is it totally uncool for us to wear one of our uniforms. this isn't church league ball where everyone gets a trophy at the end of the year. we should be going in there for war.

You said it in the OP. That is Cinci's main color. You don't like blue?

wow, that is drastic. someone, not me, at the school came up with the idea to have four colors going. Three of the colors should be used all the time. However, one of those colors (grey) doesn't get used much at all, and yet it is one of our main two colors. That being said, why in the world did the school come up with four colors and yet the grey and the black have only been used three times put together??? if you had no intention of wearing them, why did you come up with the idea to have four colors and promote them before the season started? back to the burning thing, come on man, a bit over the top.

In the 2007 playoffs, the Raptors called a red out and the New Jersey Nets decided to wear their alternate red uniforms. It was pretty funny seeing a red arena and the Nets in red, and Toronto lost the game. The uniforms are a nice distraction if you're playing against a very weak team, or you're on a losing streak and trying to change your luck. I personally wouldn't do it.

Blue is my favorite, followed by the grey ones that don't get used much at all. I would love to see us mainly only use our colors, Grey and Blue. Sometimes I would pull out the white ones at home. But hey, who am I, I don't make the decisions.

We won many many games wearing grey in the 80's.

I love how they look, but you're right. I can't think of a single game that we won wearing black. Zags couple of years ago maybe? Anyone remember?

In my recent memory, the black unit = losses in big games.
Road blues IMO.

Every time we wear black in a big game we lose. Every time.
Stick with blue.

I see your point but I viewed the game at Houston big (not the opponent) but what the game could bring us. Wearing the traditional blue at Houston brought us an L. Blue is my favorite. But my point is if you bring up "when we wear this color or that color we lose" .......I say we have lost wearing the other two colors both blue and white too. So for me it's not a good argument. Clearly wearing the road blue last game we stunk the place up. I'm saying basically we should only have the white and the road blue. However, we have the other two colors grey and black and they stay in the closet. I would be fine with them doing away with the black, because black isn't one of our colors. So wear the blue, I'm good with that because it's my favorite anyway. I am disappointed that we don't wear the grey more often, for one it's one of our colors and two they look good.
