The RipCityTwo awards, The Rippys!

[Wizard Mentor]

We'll do a few posters awards. Have a nomination thread then a voting thread. But mostly we'll do players, places and people.

I could still use a few ideas for categories.

Best sign at the RG for every home game.

Best sign at the RG for every home game.

These are going to be an annual award so home game sign of the year would be best.

The Debbie Downer award
Most controversial poster award
The Homer award
The glass half empty trophy
The glass half full trophy
The stat guy award
While you're at it, hold an annual poster roast

All good but how about some categories outside of the forum.

BEST ABS

 

[Wizard Mentor]

actually, I think it'd be good to have an award after every home playoff game.

These are going to be an annual award so home game sign of the year would be best.

[3RA1N1AC]

And them throwing it a garbage can while saying, "what the hell is this" would make an incredible acceptance video.

Did you see the gaudy looking cheap plastic trophy I picked out?

 

[riverman]

Best ref heckler

Most ridiculous Rippys category suggestion

What is this a song about bong hits?!

"When a bong is fully loaded, you must rip it! When you're ready to shot to the dome, you must rip it! Rip it, rip it good!"

In context it is fine "The Rippys, rip it good"

Looks like I'll be handling the award design and manufacturing, does anyone have a link to a specific style or design they'd like to recommend? Keep in mind we don't have a huge budget for this. The design will definitely incorporate clear and/or colored acrylic (probably 1/4" or 3/16" thick), with laser etching and/or engraved metal plate. I know we have some graphic designers in here, maybe once we get the list of categories finalized one of you can help with making it look as cool as possible. Sly, when you speak with the Blazers next week, find out which logos and slogans, etc. we can and can't use. I'd also like to incorporate some or all of the header graphics into the design, if possible.

This is gonna be sweet!

There HAS to be a way of finding out if Andre Miller has seen this, and if he hasn't, making sure he does see it...

Can you do the pinwheel in your avatar etched in acrylic on a simple wood base with a metal engraved plate?

I think I might need to get official permission to use the logo, but yeah, that'd be a piece of cake...

The Blazers are supporting/participating the awards so I think the using the pinwheel would be okay. They might want it like it is currently titled, lol. Can you send me a mockup and I can email it for final approval.
