hello fellow timber fans, some of you that have been around the BS block know that a trademark on here are "quippy" taglines put under the name of each club forum. now that the timbers forum has moved to the official list of MLS Clubs, time to find our tagline. so what are your suggestions? here's one of mine: Drafting players for 2020.
If only Seattle and Vancouver use the same chant that'd be great. This is probably my favorite so far. It's very iconic of not only our team but also of our SG and city. I'd also love to use Stumptown in some fashion, but am at a loss at just what to do with it. I always loved that nickname.
i guess there is no restriction on the taglines, but they are generally there to poke fun at your own team. hence the "drafting players for 2020." other teams for instance: Colorado Rapids We're Deep at Mascot Columbus Crew Be MASSIVE, my friend FC Dallas Frisco: Come for the IKEA, stay for the soccer Houston Dynamo Better football than the Texans. New England Revolution Six states, one team. Sporting Kansas City Under New Management
Looks like half serious, half funny. I'd go with either No Pity, or "Our mascot is scarier than your entire team."
I think this should be your winner. Authentic too, in that we use it in TA chants. Or we could go the humorous route, nothing wrong with that. Something like, "Aiming to be the Greenest team in MLS" .... playing on Portland's environmentally-conscious ethos, our team colors and, most importantly, the fact that Spencer/Wilkinson are apparently intent on fielding a squad that hasn't sprouted its pubes yet.
haha, sarcastic bastard. back on topic. how about "greener than the sounders will ever be" or "keeping PacNW soccer alive for 2 decades" "The PacNW invented soccer rivalries" im all for making fun of the PacNW soccer rivalry.
We should not invoke another team's name in our tagline, that said, playing upon a meme is a fine gesture for Cascadia. Here's one vote for "The PacNW invented soccer rivalries". If we want something that will last and not be a tired joke in a few years, go with "No Pity in the Rose City." It will withstand time and we will not have to discuss the tagline ever again. Or, seasonal tradition with new tagline?
You cannot stop us! We are the Rose City. Portland Timbers: Kings of Cascadia Portland Timbers, Winners: 2004, 2009 Commissioner's Cup, 2009, 2010 Cascadia Cup, 2010 Seattle Community Bedpan Real supporters hate Levesque. Portland Timbers: the reason bright is safely at home in his basement on the computer right now and not out posing a threat to the general population. "Portscum"? Seriously?! Is that the best supporters around the league can do? Portland; where Pele played his last competitive match. Portland; 99 miles north of the home of the BCS #2 ranked Oregon Ducks. Portland Timbers: You've probably heard of us. Portland Timbers: We're big on the YouTube Portland Timbers: The St. Pauli of Major League Soccer Portland Timbers: Turf, with class. Portland Timbers: Recommended by 4 out of 5 City Council members. Portland Timbers: Where n00bs go to die. Portland Timbers: Finally, an alternative to Strip Clubs and Breweries!
BAHAHAHAHAH, this X10000000. the leader for me so far. these are also very good. love the youtube one.
I vote for the "stripclubs and breweries" tagline, that fits us well. How about "Timbers: naturally occuring green that's good for what ails you. It's legal too!"
"clothing optional, composting required" "leading the league in feral cats since 2011" "thwarting the laws of physics since 1926" "20 feet below the water table and proud of it!" "Beer. Strippers. Bike lanes. Football." "home of the John Spencer Green Implosion"
I like those ones. Also suggesting: "Our mascot can beat up your mascott" "Your coffee sucks" "All your unemployed are belong to us"
