Went to the ice hockey today to see Frankfurt Lions play the Hamburg Freezers. The game was a pretty good one, with the Lions having a 2-0 lead, before the Freezers came back and scored 2 quick goals to make it 2-2 by the end of the 2nd period. The third period saw the Lions take the lead again 3-2, and then the Freezers snuck the equaliser in with about 2min to go to send it into overtime. Nobody scored in overtime, so it went to penalty shootouts, which Frankfurt lost 2-3. :(
But the game is not the thing that I really wanted to mention too much. For some reason, the Lions played in their 3rd Jersey for the first time this year. This year it is also a different jersey to the green and pink one that I posted about last year (and their other 2 jerseys have changed too...but not so much).
The thing that I found crazy is the number of supporters who bought themselves this new jersey at the game today. The selling of jerseys here is a massive business (I assume), with a massive percentage of the crowd having one. Then the supporters go nutty when a special jersey comes out, like this 3rd one, or some that look like they were made in the past for games around Xmas (with snow-flakes on them etc).
I mean, I am kinda a "supporter stuff whore" who likes to buy stuff to show his support for a team, band, or whatever - but the germans are leaving me for dead in this department.
That was it. Not very interesting...sorry. For more interesting posts, see the ones that were posted a few days ago.
Tschüß,
'Brushy.

They keep trying this sort of thing in AFL-land, but aussies have the opposite idea. Respect goes to the person with the oldest guernsey. Points for VFL badges, points for that weird pointy cat symbol from the 70s.
And with the self sewn on numbers on the back. Bonus points to the guy with the scarf that still has the badges of all his favourite players on it.
