The Rush admit it: They have no sense of fashion. (That, or they have a keen sense for a marketing opportunity.)
Either way, Chicago’s Arena Football League team is asking for fans’ help in picking a new look. After seven seasons, the Rush will unveil a third jersey — black with silver trim.
But what to wear with it? A silver helmet and black pants? A black helmet and silver pants?
Fans can vote for their favorite combination at chicagorush.com. Voting runs through March 4, and the Rush will unveil the winning ensemble when they take on the L.A. Avengers May 19 on ESPN2.
The Rush opens the 2008 season at home March 3 against the defending ArenaBowl champion San Jose SaberCats.
