As the city darkened last night, people couldn't help but notice the symbol of New York awash in the California team's hues.
While the fans were screaming foul, there was a logical— if not a bit untimely— reason from keeping the 86-story building blue— the Chinese New Year.
The ESB was bathed in the red and gold in honor of the Chinese Lunar New Year which begins Monday— the day after the big game.
While that explanation didn't satisfy most fans, the building was already committed to the colors which represent the "Year of the Dragon."
Last week the ESB was bathed in glowing Big Blue until the most mythical symbol in Chinese culture took precedence.
And there's more bad news for Giants fans.
The dragon— and its colors— is considered to be the luckiest and most powerful symbol in the Chinese zodiac.
Probably not the best idea ever...I think they should change it. I mean, I get the whole Chinese New Year thing, but there are plenty of Chinese Giants fans our there and I'm sure they're not that happy either.
ReplyDeleteYes all four of the Chinese Giants fans are freaking ticked off... and I quote "This a not bery onarble"
