It looks like a pretty solid promo schedule. The "Throwback" has been a big hit and the old Cyclone uniforms would seem to be a winner. Hopefully the marketing types will hit another home run with the bobbleheads ala Obama. Perhaps a Hillary stick pin voodoo b-head?
The Reds theme seems to be a good idea as well. Along with the miliary appreciation with the camoflaged jersey.
"Kids Eat Free" may have some potential as well--though I don't like the tie-in food donation. The "Education in Hockey Day" has been a 4000+ game every time and it's good to see it being done early in the season so that the kids will have many months to bother their parents to take them to another game. Kids T-Shirt nite is also a good idea.
Given the management-preferred huge number of week night games, it appears that beer drinkers are amply covered as well.

Solid.
I have been saying that they should do the old throwback Clones jerseys rather than keep doing the Stingers every year. Glad they went through with that. The Reds night is a good idea too. I don't think it will be huge, but I'm glad they tried something considering we typically get hit by Reds Fest every year. Throwback and Fan Appreciation nights will be the best attended, as always. I hope the Cincy/C-Bus firemen/police game is also included in one of these ... those are always decent turnouts with all of the players families and friends.
Another NASCAR-free year, wonderful! |

| The "Teddy Bear Toss" is also the Fire and Police night. I heard they may not do the game after the Cyclones game that night, but something different. |
...And on the eighth day, GOD created the Cyclones! |

| I hope they do Mr. Cyclone for that night as well. I remember the firs time I can remember seeing that mascot. (hell I went to my first game at just over a 1 1/2 years old in 90) |

I think the Reds Jerseys will bring in the most overall for a specialty jersey.
XcloneiacX: My sister and I actually have his two original jerseys (1 From the ECHL and 1 from the IHL) He was a true class act and gave them to us for a Christmas present when he was about to Retire and be completely replaced by Snowbird. |
