Dr Z Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 “I got this crazy checkered pair that I wore earlier this season,” he said. “People really weren't paying attention, but they were crazy and checkered with orange and yellow green and a whole bunch of different colors, I like that pair a lot.” We all know exactly what socks he is speaking of. IMO, insert a photo of that pair in the article. Image should relate to text. Other than that, nice spin on the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Great article. I'm a big fan of a bit of individuality in basketball. Nothing crazy of course, but i think Tree does it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 “I got this crazy checkered pair that I wore earlier this season,” he said. “People really weren't paying attention, but they were crazy and checkered with orange and yellow green and a whole bunch of different colors, I like that pair a lot.” We all know exactly what socks he is speaking of. IMO, insert a photo of that pair in the article. Image should relate to text. Other than that, nice spin on the article. Good point. The story's photo shows Tree sporting an outrageous pair of solid black socks. But good article. I enjoy the insight into Tree as a person.

MDZip Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Of course this all makes perfect sense - after all, the guys name is tread well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Put this down as one of the board topics I though I'd never see. The rose goes in the front Tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think Tree (and the Zips) should add to this new marketing ploy by auctioning off his used socks (he's not going use them again, after all) to benefit some Akron area charity. I think it would be a hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I just sent Tree a 'tweet' with your idea. I think this is a GREAT one!! Well, the ESPN talent crew made a big thing out of DemeTreeous'es hosiery. They were especially hyperbolic about the Hawaiian luau socks he had on during Friday's semi-finals. Anybody catch a shot of those? I might like to find a pair myself on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpsjugglerdude Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I rewatched it today. They said they thought the entire Zips team shopped at the thrift store clearance section. He also said he thinks Tree dressed in the dark. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zip81 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Keep wearing the same socks. Respect the streak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said he thinks Tree dressed in the dark. lol I've always preferred teams all wear matching socks/shoes in school colors. But, surprisingly it doesn't bother me to see some crazy stuff worn by the Zips. Let them have fun and I'm glad to see fans sporting crazy socks on gameday. Hopefully the NCAA doesn't penalize any of our players for their socks. I know they have a long list of uniform rules and seem to like to crack down on stupid violations.

Dave in Green Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wait until the NCAA inspector comes along to check jock straps on court in the middle of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Keep wearing the same socks. Respect the streak! Once Tree wears a pair of socks in a game he never wears them again. Always new socks for each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The crazy socks thing reminds me of the Tribe in the 90's, when everyone donned the "Thome high socks" as a superstition in the playoffs one season. The Zips should do the same by following Tree's lead and make it their thing. Well, at least the fans could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
