I been saying for awhile now that they need to cater a little more to out of town fans. Good job Blazers

I'm doing that when the Blazers win the 'ship.

I just paid 20 for just a PTB t-shirt. This thing is actually not a bad deal

Tramp stamp?

Tramp stamp?

Probably on a shoulder blade. Gotta get swole up though. I will probably pussy out at the last minute, I'm not a tatoo kinda guy.

Was thinking same here.

Also agree, cool idea with rip city membership. Kind of like joining the timbers army in a way, or 107 or whatever. And a cool thing for out of towners

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

That's a solid deal for $30.

Rip City Resident

Saw this at the game last night and was interested.

Not a bad deal if you are not a season ticket holder, but think it overlaps too much with Rip City United to be worth the price for STH's.

I AM a Rip City Resident. I ride a bike, complain about the sewers, wear flannel and take my dogs to uni-sex pet parks.

hmmm

its all kinda cheap shit so ill pass, but it could have been a cool idea

Id be more interested if the shirt was a normal blazer shirt, who the Heck wants to wear a rip city resident shirt?

It's really simple if you know what the team is trying to do. They're attempting to expand the brand to include more people outside Portland. That's why they're really pushing this Rip City shit. Instead of being the "Portland Trail Blazers," they push the Rip City thing and it makes more people feel included. There's a reason why there's a Blazers logo in the outline of the state of Oregon. They don't just want it to be Portland's team. They want it to be Oregon's team, they want it to be Washington's team and Idaho and Montana. If they create this imaginary place called Rip City, where anyone can be a resident, they will include more people..

I have no problem with that. Rip city resident is still dumb. Make it a rip city shirt without the resident part and it's fine. Rip city army would be fine. Rip city till I die is cool. Resident just sounds terrible

Good deal actually. A window sticker alone usually runs $10-$20 and shirts are always over priced. Im tempted. Right now I have a hat in my back window and my truck is painted black with red rims. No one knows who the blazers are here though. When I was watching game at work someone asked if lebron was still on the team. They thought we were the heat because we had the same colors. And they were like where is rip city? I got to break it down for them like a real fan.

I'm getting this thing in a banner ad at the top of my Sports 2 page.

It'd be good if they had fan outreach outside of the PDX area. Money constraints would probably prohibit that, but it'd be cool. Like an LA meetup or something before a game.
