ezpeshully sinz they own it now...



waz it pezumpshuous fer "Made en Orygun" tu chynge et when they baught et?

Well that's pretty ridiculous of the Duckies. Why change that sign? It's pretty iconic...

 

[julius]

They don't own it. They operate it and pay the cost of maintaining it. That is a difference.

This is another grab at free publicity by UO.

Notice this passage:

The university, which operates its Portland programs from the building upon which the sign stands, is now paying for the sign’s maintenance costs. Officials want to use it for the university’s own advertising purposes, and the owner of the sign supports their efforts.

Now granted, that shows that the owner does support the U's idea, but they still need city approval.

Wait, I just realized something. Let me re-type that in your speak.

The unvursyty, witch oper8s its Portlynd pr0grams frum the bildyng upon whych the sygn standz, iz now payyng for the sines mayntunence costz. Ofishals wont tu yuse it fore da younyversyty’s own adverrtizen purpuzez n da ownur ov da sine suppertz dere f-orts.

Not that I am a supporter of eithe rteam, I think that sign is kind of stupid and Christmasy looking, so wouldn't be opposed. Wish thwey would remove the stag, and just have the state outline, personally. I'm sure I'll get shit for saying that. Just personal preference. I think it looks dumb.

I'm fine with U of O changing it...as long as they change it back to "White Stag".
