Oh we've been avoiding this question forever because everyone has an opinion on tie dye. Some hate it, some love it and some could simply care less. We also have a nagging feeling that our regular readers fall on the "HATE IT" side of the fence, and we simply have to disagree. But, since a friend who interns in Athletics told us that tonight is the most important game of the season, we're going to self sacrifice here.
Tie Dye isn't pretty or fashionable. We're entirely aware that it's the ugliest combination of our school colors. Actually it's not even really our school colors - it's black and bleed your eyes out gold. No one looks good it in it - whether your tan, pale or in between.
BUT, looking good is not the point of tie dye. You are supposed to make the opponents' eyes literally bleed from the pain of looking at our section. We are the intimidation factor in the Joel. So let's step it up and sacrifice our fashion conscious attitudes tonight when the Deacs take on Iowa at 7pm.
So here is Chic Deac's final verdict on tie dye: Go ahead, Wake Forest. Put your frat pastels aside for one hot second and wear something ugly. Surely, your awesome, fratty reputation will be able to withstand the momentary geedness.
