"Beaten and Bruised; We're the Black and Blue" "It ain't easy being green, so we're spray painting Kermit Quisenberry blue." "Big Phil's bruised step-sons." "Inter Milan...... on Ice!" "Home to Le Bleu."
C'mon people. Our tagline is pathetic. There are plenty of creative people on this forum. It doesn't have to have black and blue in it. TrooperBari, what hoops do we have to jump to get it changed?
I like "Let the bodies hit the floor" best so far, but I bet there's an even better tag line out there, just waiting to be discovered. Just for fun, I thought I'd see what sort of anagrams you could make by rearranging the letters of "black and blue." I'm not suggesting this, mind you, lest it curse us, but one anagram of "black and blue" is... "bad ankle club." D'oh!
I think this one sums it up the best. It also can be used at the stadium by the supporters. In front of my kids, I'll use "freaking."
Psycho Rapids, Q'est-que-ce It will take more work to better, "it ain't easy being green" given the last few years post MLS Cup. By the way, can the models wearing the new colors be required to sit with us in our section???("pardon me, but your belly-button ring needs adjusting!") Check out the web site. "We're Green, No We're Bluuuue, We have no freakin' clue...." "Hanki is P*ssy, and So, Are, Youuuu" "Black, Blue, White' Fight, fight, Fight" "France, Scotland, U-S-A, you'll never beat us anyway" 'F** you (opponent coach), F** you (opponent coach), <repeat a lot of times>" "Hail to the Rapids, Hail Black and Bluuuuue, Hail to the rapids, F***, F***, Youuuuu" "We fart in your general direction" Play Psycho Killer intro, then chant anything in French..even a recipe..at the courus break into...: "Psycho Rapids, Q'est-que-ce fa-fa-fa-faaa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-faaa, better, run-run-run-run-run-runawayyyyy" ....Purists could memorize the real french lyric leading to the more recognizable chorus. RLH p.s. I guess the French ones are my favorites (fart from Holy Grail, and Psycho Killer)
Ah, nice work. Being old enough to remember the 70's, I am immediately attracted to the classics. We can flesh it out if we want with a bigger chunk of the dialogue: "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food-trough water! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" Then we launch the cow at the opposing team's bench. If it is the Galaxy, there is no way we can miss Sigi.
Start with these.... Seriously, though, just give me consensus on one option and I'll pull the necessary strings.
I say creative, and the forum lights up. Much better people, much better. We have a few votes for: Let the bodies hit the floor. Some of the other nominations: We're Black, we're Blue; Counce has no ************ing clue. Inter Milan West inter-colorado Mile High Club The others that slag the color change and/or infer we are sheep do not really put us in a good light, so I didn't add them. French slags are a bit much too, IMHO. Lets have a few more, huh?
Here's a few more: Black and blue. It's a way of life. Now we're black and blue. Why? We don't know. We need a championship before the Metros get one. Old? We're all under 40, now. Rapidly changing into a championship contender. We're better off than those Florida teams. Discover Colorado. Discover Spencer, Grimandi, and Zizi. The rest of the league underestimates us. We like it that way. We're on a quest to find the Holy Grail. What's our favorite color? Green. No, blue. Ahhhhhhhh!
I'll throw a vote for the Python reference. It encapsulates so much. One might throw out many entrants for revealing a very real insecurity among Rapids fans, but this entry at least addresses it in a very subtle way. If we want creative, don't look to this next entry: "Riding the wayward currents of the Rapids following our captain, Dan Counce."
This is brilliant. We could add a little song: Bravely Sir Dan weaseled To tradition he was a plague He came up with a marketing plan As creative as his tired web page Sir Dan's inspiration Was to change from green to black and blue With his tired cliche Sir Dan was shown to not have a clue Brave Sir Dan the GM Brave Brave Sir Dan He weasels away tradition With a vapid marketing plan
Those three are my favorites, but I have to agree with the rest. The Monty Python reference in the last one makes it the winner. What is the capital of Assyria?
