I can squat and deliver if you wish. Yours to keep.

I got excited when your thread promised Blazer glasses. I was thinking more like this:

You could use those and imagine you were looking through the Blazer Dancers’ clothes. So you can understand my jaded response.
 
When are the Ant/Grant glasses being offered?
 
How about bringing back these glasses??

I assumed that blazers glasses were more along the lines of beer goggles - they make the team look much better than it really is.

I've seen people start to go out the door, get their Jamba Juice free drink coupon and then jump out of line and do it again. Glasses at the end would be a shit show.

There was a guy who would almost always be at the exit door I used most often while I had season tickets, and for some reason liked to give me large piles of chalupa coupons. IIRC the highest number he gave me was in the low forties. I don't think he ever gave me fewer than a dozen...
 
Again just want to point out...

For years it was believed that small market teams can't turn a profit.

That the Blazers only can lose money.

Our previous and current team presidents have changed this.

The Blazers are not a money pit

This is what a financially stable small market franchise looks like.

No more $5 t-shirts and fewer giveaways.

At the same time the Moda is being maintained and improved.

And the Blazers are addressing one of the fans biggest complaints, being able to watch the team on TV.

Would I like some of these glasses? Sure.

Upset that I can't? Nah.

Sure. But, they obviously worked with a sponsor before (DQ). Why not do it again?

Maybe DQ didn't want to do it again? I can think of at least 5 that have closed in the Portland area the last 10 years.

I don't know anything about Blazer marketing but maybe their deal with McDonald's precludes doing a promotion like this with other fast food restaurants.

Maybe the Blazers just want to get butts in seats.

Idk about Blazers marketing, but they do have a team store online. If they couldn't find a sponsor, they could put some there. I still have 4 or 5 of the old ones, and would like some new ones. Willingness to pay isn't the issue. Access is.

However, I am a HUGE fan of 2.2 and Blazervision. I think that's these are great services to the community.

I'm not upset that I can't get it. I'm upset they tie it to going to a game. You already fuck us with the prices and the concessions, at least let something be for the fans and not about them gouging us or the need to gouge us just to get an item (I never go to any sport events solely for the giveaway. Fools do that).

"And if they fuck you
There will be no foreplay
Rest assured
They'll screw you complete
Till your ass is blue and grey" (Make Yourself, Incubus)

Over and over and over.

When I was there for opening night they were selling 1 hotdog for $8 or 2 for $10.

Tickets for the Blazer Glasses games start at $34.

And if the Blazers score over 100 points you get free McNuggies.

F = P(1+i)^N, so
3500 = 70(1+i)^(2024-1988)
50 = (1+i)^36
i = 50^(1/36) - 1
i = 11.5%

So, the Paul Allen estate averaged 11.5% on their initial Blazers investment. That assumes they put all of the 47% of the salary cap each year (or whatever the owners get) back into the team. I have no idea if they did that. Also, 11.5% would be great for you and I, but I don't know whether it's great on such a large investment.

The Googles seem a little off.

Limited-Edition Glasses to Feature Donovan Clingan, Scoot Henderson & Shaedon Sharpe

PORTLAND, Ore. (October 28, 2024) – The Portland Trail Blazers have announced a new commemorative glassware series featuring Donovan Clingan, Scoot Henderson, and Shaedon Sharpe throughout the 2024-25 season. The collectible glasses will be available to the first 7,777 fans attending select home games at Moda Center.

This throw-back promotion became an instant fan-favorite when originally introduced in the early 90's and remained popular when a new series of collectible glasses was re-introduced during the 2013-14 season. The organization is excited to bring this fan-favorite back featuring three current Trail Blazers players for Rip City to celebrate.

The Commemorative Glassware Series Schedule:

  • November 13 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves – Donovan Clingan Glass
  • December 10-17 – TBD NBA Cup Game – Scoot Henderson Glass
  • January 16 vs. Los Angeles Clippers – Shaedon Sharpe Glass
To guarantee receiving the entire three-glass set, fans can purchase a Blazers Collectible Glasses Flex Pack, which includes tickets to all three games, plus all three collectible glasses by visiting Trailblazers.com/ticket-packs or by calling 844-RIP-CITY. There are only 100 Flex Packs available, so act fast to ensure you receive the entire glass set!

Rip City United Members will have the chance to secure a set of these collectible glasses during their annual RCU Rewards redemption, and communication around that process will take place in early 2025.

Visit Trailblazers.com/ticket-packs to explore other Flex Packs, such as the Prime Time Flex Pack or a Fan’s Choice Pack that allows you to customize your own ticket pack with only the matchups you want to see, the more games you add, the more benefits you see.

Explore other Ticket Packs, including the Big Game Pack (9 Games, starting at $31/Game), the Weekend Pack (8 Games, starting at $21/Game), and the Rising Stars Pack (9 Games, Starting at $11/Game). Ticket Pack benefits include flexible payment options, consistent seat locations, the best prices and no fees, and the ability to exchange one game in your package via Account Manager for an equally valued, or below, game.

Thank you for this detailed information. They look really nice.

I might be going to those games alone so I'll see if my carpool dummy (no offense intended) can get me an extra glass.

Will 'Blazer glasses' help me be able to watch the game?
 
The level of entitlement in this forum is crazy. Proof here. Which is a bit surprising considering the ages of most of the regulars. This is the same as having a bobble head etc night like every sports franchise does.

You can't drink from a bobble head.
