Jeff, I get the feeling you should have locked the thread right after you started it just to keep the stupid conversations away from Sticky status. If not, though, it'd be helpful to post links to actual useful threads about uniforms. Like this one from mrdave543 about how the unveiling might wait until after the Comets season: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60063
maninthebox is clearly a bitter and ungrateful b*stard. This thread is a great idea. So, back on topic...since this is the "official" uniform thread, it would be very much appreciated if someone from the crew would do us all a favor and perhaps post some links to the important uni threads for newbies to read? Examples would be the Blood Red and Silver R thread, some of the suggested uni's by posters like FrancisFan, etc. Just a thought... Edit: Damn JV, not again...
holy crap... i've never seen so much hostility towards the admins. the funny thing is that this sticky was supposed to help some of the newer posters, yet they get all pissy and crap like this? maninthebox, if you're still here (which i doubt), chill the f' out. we should sick yetti on you. that'll teach you a lesson.
buh bye to the hater.. I'm glad there is finally a sticky thread about the new threads. Hopefully, this will prevent any more new threads threads..
Man, ya'll sure did a great job of shutting up Girlinthebox (yes, I know, lame insult, but it ALWAYS pisses off it's victim ). Has he been banned yet? And back to topic: I REALLY hope you're wrong. Retro isn't always right.
Well said, codell. After all, Clutch sacrifices his time and money for this wonderful site. I can't believe someone would be so belligerant.
OK, I did the research for yall. Here are 4 significant uniform threads from the past 3 months or so. I will strongly warn you to not post in these dead threads. You would certainly invoke the wrath of the admins by committing such an atrocity. "I don't know the design, but I know the colors" posted by Lynus302 on 4/5/03. This thread revealed that the primary color would be a crimson red with silver as the secondary: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54998 "PJ Striped UNIFORMS back again next year?" posted by Rocket Rich NYC says that there was a delay in approval of the new unis on 4/15/03. The thread is 10 pages long, so there might be more info in there: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55698 "Rockets have some competition with the new Uni's" by Gummi Clutch points out other teams that will also get new unis on 4/24/03. Don't think there is much that is useful in there: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56268 "Deadline for Colors/Logo/Unis?" posted 5/8/03 by cson was responded to by DCballer with some description of the unis. But, he deleted his posts in the thread so little info is left. The colors and the R logo info is repeated (I don't know when the business about the R first cropped up): http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56987 "Small news on new uniforms...dont read if expecting a lot!" by mrdave543 says that the unveiling may wait for the Comets' season to end: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60063 If anyone has others, I'm sure it would help.
I vision some bright-eyed and bushy tailed newbie doing just that! "Hey guys! What's going on in here?" - Newbie Those old threads should be locked. Just incase.
Clutch, Jeff, & the rest of the admins...Please note that this idiocy does not reflect the opinions of the vast majority of your posters. We really do appreciate you maintaining this site, even though it is addictive and some of us probably need therapy as a result!
Please answer the following questions maninthebox before disgracing this Rocket info goldmine again with your complaints. 1 - Is it not true that Clutch and Clutch alone maintains the entire site that is not considered a message board? I love the Crew and all for helping keep the board a great place but remember this is a one man updating show for ClutchCity. 2 - Is it not true that Clutch has a family to consider and they are probably in the middle of trying to sell their house? http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?threadid=57978 3 - Is it not true that Clutch does this for free? 4 - Is it not true that there seems to be little to nothing going on with the Rockets? Do you want Clutch to invent news so that you are no longer bored? 5 - Is it not true that a message board administrator made a simple request to help organize the board and in exchange you called him an 'internet sports geek' and an 'A-Hole' for it?!? This site kicks royal rump but if it was going downhill it would be because of freeloading losers such as yourself, so piss off boxboy.
Let me be the first arrogant one to say "maninthebox" is irrelevant. Let's get this thread back on-topic. Uniforms only please... since that's what this thread was intended for.
Look for the logo around town near mid July. Most people won't know what it is, and nobody is going to say anything for a while. Uni's Sept. Oct.
This thread itself is like having another uniform thread. But it won't stay very long cause I think our uniforms will be revealed by Draft Day.
