we are waiting on quotes from vendors and then will open the order. All top 4 designs are being included.
I just wanted to say all these designs were great. I can't to get one myself. I am sick of all this RSL red I have wear. Give me Penn State....I mean Union blue!!! Seriously though, great job guys and great choice.
I went to Penn State. Maybe I would buy one from you. Oh and you better make some Temple, Drexel and Elon ones too, so the others won't feel left out. My dad is a Philadelphia University grad. Can you make a PU/PU fan one? THANKS!
haha, im not sure how you would buy it from me, but sure ill give it a try. And what does PU/PU mean? Do you just mean Philadelphia University?
Re: Sons of Ben 2009 Scarf Design Contest the basic idea of this is cool - needs better colours and something like delrossi's zigzag thunderbolts on the end. why not call it the delaware end to make it more specific, like the cop-end or whatever. Then i'de actually buy it. Welcome to The Del-End!
Re: Sons of Ben 2009 Scarf Design Contest You know there's Kop End's in more than one stadium right? Do you know where the Kop is really located?
Re: Sons of Ben 2009 Scarf Design Contest The real Spioenkop is a hill in South Africa, iirc. The first Kop in a football stadium was at Arsenal's old Manor Ground.
Re: Sons of Ben 2009 Scarf Design Contest I was about to say kop is not one specific place...even though I'm a fan of the anfield kop.
So it's the supporters section? Or is it only when the stadium doesn't have a roof and the sun makes the crowd's shadow on the pitch?
It's typically given to a steeply-banked supporters' section. I wish ours was steeper, it'd make it more intimidating I think. Though harder to get to your seat after the tailgate
That's hilarious! As the article correctly states, Kops are "so named due to their steep nature" and then they list "Qwest Field Seattle Sounders F.C. Brougham End" The Brougham End is the least sloped area in the entire stadium. It is hardly a Kop. The only true "Kop" is on the King Street End and they cover it with a tarp. The others are arguable. "BMO Field Toronto FC South End" --------------------- Possibly "Gillette Stadium New England Revolution The Fort" ------------------ possibly "Home Depot Center Los Angeles Galaxy North Curve Section 121" ------------ no "Toyota Park Chicago Fire Section 8" ------------------- not likely You're only a Kop if you're steep and hill-like. It's not just the supporters section. Every stadium has a supporters section - very few have a kop.
Yeah I cited wikipedia just to get the basic idea and origin across. Their list is very questionable and seeing as it's the English wikipedia I'm sure mls fans have edited it accordingly.
Well too bad about the steep/tall thing. Me n my firm were going to tifo the heck outta the kop end. Now i'll have to settle for pranking Bolton when he's too drunk to stand upright.
