    Rapidman likes all things aqueous, and he can always be found with his trusty water guns. One of his favorite things to do is cool down Rapids fans (and visiting team fans!) at INVESCO Field with a refreshing burst of water from his Super Soakers!

    wow. rapidman has almost as much personality as his team, none at all that is.

    Are you sure that's not the Fire or Burn mascot? He certainly appears to be flamin'.

    Funniest thing I've heard today... Best line ever.

    As for this freak... is it logical to assume that whoever conceived this idiotic mascot was under the influence of some heavy, heavy drugs.

    I saw something like that after eating a funny tasting sugar cube once, but never sober.

    I am a huge Rapids fan, but I think Rapidman is so stupid that it is hard to believe this is still going on. He is absolutely moronic and brings nothing to the game. Even the kids at Mile High (Invesco ) hate him.

    I'd have to say I think mascots are retarded, but Chopper/Dynamo in KC actually jumps into the Cauldron once in a while and takes over the drums. He's actually not that bad, which is kinda cool.

    Haha, awesome. I think idiotic mascots are too muich of a staple-- they need to stick around, no matter how much the fans hate them.

    Do a lot of female Rapids fans ask to be soaked by Rapidman?

    Nobody likes us, we don't care. (Runner-up for the new tagline of the Rapids forum)

    More marketing genius from Dan Counce University.

    Don't flatter yourself. Your team is about as exciting as a plump house frau in a mumu.

    Your GM was so devoid of any ideas to breathe life into teh team - he invented a lame barined black and blue mentality and then ripped off Inters uniform.

    What I can't figure out is whether he came up with the idea first and then stole the uniforms or saw the uniforms and then invented the marketing scheme.

    Re: Re: Get a load of RAPIDMAN

    Their GM has 60,000+ fans out for July 4th games. Who else does that?

    Also, the rapidman's picture is flaming, but he's a recongizable mascot. What pre-adolescent doesn't think anyone with super soakers rules? A lot of MLS marketing is geared toward the younger audience. They know that these young soccer players have a huge influence on their folks and their folk's money.

    Because the team that led MLS in attendance has to be worried about breathing new life into the team....
