teds towel

Hopefully everyone, It would look amazing if 30,000 richmond supporters as well as non-member supporters waving their towels and scarfs.
I just hope everyone takes it and is not afraid to wave a towel.
West Coast did it at subi a couple of years ago when they had beaten essendon and it looked amazing.
Make sure you take it to the first game!

Are they free or $10?
The article from the HUN said:
"In the first two rounds, when the Bulldogs play home matches against Geelong and Adelaide, mini towels will be distributed free of charge.
The main plank of the merchandising project will see 30,000 towels offered to supporters for $10 each."

Perhaps the Herald Sun is so used to being deliberately ambiguous to incite the emotionally vulnerable that they have lost the ability to report clearly?

It likely is coincidence rosy.rosy23 said:checkside said:They copied us
Could just be coincidence. A couple of years ago someone posted on here that our membership campaign was copied from a different code. It was very similar but RFC read the post and let me know that such initiatives are planned several months before they are released/launched for the public so can't really be copied.
It will be interesting, as with the Tiges, to see how the Dog supporters embrace the concept. I haven't read anything about it but presume the $10 cost is a fund-raising kind of thing?
If we should be looking at anyone it's our media PR person(Mithen?, Jacobs?) for not getting the word out earlier.

Now all of a sudden the Tiger skin towel is looking like a great idea. :hihi
FWIW I heard the original idea came from the States. The Pittsburg Steelers used something similar in the 70s, so it's not our idea at all.
the steelers still have it they call it THE TERRIBLE TOWEL,(and they just happen to be yellow and black) and i must admit when watching there games it does look
good seeing all of the towels being twirled together
It's funny because most of the non-Richmond people I've spoken to have attacked the Tiger skin as lame and an amateurish marketing gimmick (I must admit I was sceptical). I wonder what those same people will say about the Bulldogs version.
