    Maybe we can get someone to translate this into Chinese:

    "The corner of the north end of the field that rains colors onto opposing players because the occupants drink too much."

    I bet all that comes out to something like: "Shin Hua Xi"

    I'm in favor of the name. It fits and is correct since there is a "sharp corner" right in front of the section.

    I would like to think that it would be a way to spread the word about the corner, but then again, I just work here. :eek:

    That's great and all, but none of the current groups use that name so a lot of people would be wondering "who the hell is that?" Besides, the F*re use that name for one of their groups and they're pricks.

    I know none of the groups use it and the fire might also but Ultra is just another term for hardcore fan

    but i see you're point

    I might cook up something else that uses Nordecke instead of Ultras
    any thoughts on the design? anything to change or that you'd like to see?
    Like the star? want the logo instead? etc.

    Just change it to nordecke to the left. Or we are the supporters. Although I don't like the "we are" because I think most people could just figure out that it's the f'in supporters without having it pointed out to them. lol.

    I was also thinking of another sign idea.

    A big black cloth sign with yellow bubble letters saying, "Bad Boys Yellow." Similiar to the Bad Blue Boys in Dinamo Zagreb.

    The star's not bad at all. The hammer and crowbar are a little creepy in a quasi-fascist kinda way.

    Maybe. :eek: Red Stripe makes socio-political distinctions a little harder to articulate... :D


    but I'll be damned if I didn't spell articulate right on the first try....

    It's a hammer and a crowbar. We are the Crew. Lol nothing wrong with that. Although I get how it could be socialist ala hammer and sickle. But, I don't think anyone is really going to think our supporters are facists or socialists. lol. If they do their dumb.

    Okay well a few minutes later and this is what my brain crapped out
    Thanks for the comments. The star was inspired by the old soviet imagery but it's in no way ment to imply we're fascists

    That second one brings back memories of the "THIS IS THE END" banner that used to be displayed beneath 137.

    I could get used to it real quick.

    Good shit Ultra. This is getting posted on my blog.

    Btw, good work on my site banner. If you could make one with bubble letters with "Bad Boys Yellow" too sometime I would like to put that up too.

    Thanks for your work.

    That is sweet!

    I am not sure how it could be implemented into something graphical, but since the Crew's mantras seem to have to do with work and such, but I like the Latin saying, "Sine labore nihil" (Nothing without work) as it pertains to the Crew.

    That is some good stuff. That's going up too. Exceptional work.

    I like this one very much. Would make a nice real banner.

    I also made a shoutout to your work above my new links section and added a link of your's along with every other Crew link in that section.

    BTW, check out my new poll wonder who the 8 votes for Crew losing badly are from.

    I think one that just says "Never Back Down. Never Give In. Never Quit." would be sweet. No need to say who we are, the "statement" would say it all.

    Never Back Down. Never Give In. Never Quit would be great to unfurl as the fellas enter the field before the opening kickoff.

    thanks again for your comments
