Ever since 2003 the Garden has had no color

There is no electricity, we can't even find food, and we are not safe even inour homes.We have nothing to do with Hamas. I've been detained and harassedby Hamas, but the Israeli bombardments are indiscriminate. No one is safe."The last two weeks of fighting have increased the humanitarian crisis causedby Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, in force continuously since June 2007.The United Nations and international aid agencies report that there is anacute shortage of food and most basic necessities. According to theInternational Committee of the Red Cross, Israeli bombardments have damagedwater supply lines, making it difficult for some families to obtain access tosafe drinking water. The organization also noted that hospitals are runningshort of key medicines and depend on unreliable generators for their power.The Gaza Pediatrics' Hospital reported that most of its windows have beensmashed by the blasts and plastic sheets are being used to block the cold.Anair strike on January 2 damaged a pipe supplying water to 30,000 residents ofNuseirat Refugee Camp, south of Gaza City.Continuous Israeli strikes alsomake attempts to carry out repairs extremely dangerous.

This morning, when my brother and I were opening up our presents, heunwrapped a box and pulled something out that I have been seeing way too much lately.A blue Rangers jersey.Don't get me wrong, I love the blue jersey, I actually only buy them mainly because of my messy nature and would destroy the white ones.Ever since 2003, the Garden has had no color.There is no breaking themonotony of blue versus white. Every night it is the same thing.One of the best things about hockey is the jerseys and uniforms that each team wears. However, we never get to see any of them.From the '70s to 2003, the home team wore white in most cases until the "third" or "alternate" jersey was introduced. Remember these The Rangers wearing white would allow us to see the many colors of the NHL, whether it be red with Detroit, Carolina, Calgary, Florida, and of course Montreal.

Even black would be a welcome when Dallas or Boston comes to town. How about seeingturquoise or green, when San Jose or Minnesota skates into the GardenIt's one of the little things that bugs me about the NHL.The reason they first implemented the switch of home wearing dark was because of the third jersey.It made it easier on the equiptment managers so they wouldn't have to carry two sets of uniforms for road games.Of course the NHL wanted to see the third jersey at home to boost sales unless you were the Coyotes.Well, there isn't too much third-jersey wearing these days with the new RBK Edge designs, so why not switch backI know, it's nitpicking, and there's much more important things to be concerned with on the ice than what color the Rangers wear, but I can wish can't I.
