FAQs

 
Where did the idea come from?

The idea originally started with the NHL's Anaheim Ducks.

During the Anaheim Ducks' run to the Stanley Cup in the spring and summer of 2007, a new franchise icon was created -- the orange playoff towel. Suddenly, a team that was more known for its Disney roots is now seen as a team boasting a sea of orange towel-waving fans, "welcoming" opponents to Orange County. The orange playoff towels have since become an icon of the team recognized throughout the league.

When the team reached the Stanley Cup Finals against the Ottawa Senators, things were taken a step further -- the orange towels started popping up at prominent Ottawa landmarks. The idea of an NHL team "invasion" was born.

How did this come together?

After the establishment of the Anaheim Ducks invasion site, the idea started spreading to other NHL teams. However, there was a lot of potential in something for Major League Baseball. With the Ducks' site being the most prominent one already in existence, it made total sense to start from Anaheim with a similar baseball site as well.

I want to send in some places too but I'm not an Angels fan. Can I do them for other MLB teams?

Absolutely -- send them in anyway and we'll see what can be done.

I want to get certain places that are sensitive about security. Can I still send the photos in?

I have done some sensitive locations in the past, and I don't recommend it. With that said, it is up to you if you want to take that risk. Don't hold me responsible if something happens to you. But if you survive to tell the tale and send the photos, I will put a disclaimer at the bottom of the blog post advising against future photo attempts at the location.
