A new promo video from Tacoma Tide FC...and it debuts their sharp new club crest! [youtube]oIdTy9EnaKQ[/youtube]
That was a nice video and pretty good production work. They seem to be doing pretty well both on and off the field. Is there any chance they can take up the USL 1 spot after this season? I'm guessing they would need some additional investment.
They'd love to, and that is why this video was produced: to get more investors. We'll see what comes of it, but I am behind their efforts and have really enjoyed supporting them!
Not a fan of the new club crest. Old one was better IMO, although it wasn't great either. Nice vid production, though!
Our PDL clubs need all the help and exposure they can get. So...I made a 'commercial' for the Tide. [youtube]h6exk3AEA1k[/youtube]

2008 Tacoma Tide Tryouts April 5 & 6. Details to be posted here: http://www.tacomafc.com/calendar/29543.html
This is cool. I did some work behind the scenes with the Tacoma Tide and www.RuffneckWear.com, and the same guy who designed the ECS scarves, 'thalo.' Turns out the Tide are going to run with the project...and all 2008 season ticket-holders will get a TFC scarf! http://www.tacomafc.com/tickets/index_E.html Thanks Tide and thalo! Scarves will also be available at matches and on line in the future.
TFC try for larger fan base, upscale market with new ticket options, including $20 'field seats.' Details: http://goaltacoma.blogspot.com/2008/02/tide-offer-free-scarves-to-season.html
TFC's front office ppl would have been a huge upgrade over those running the Sounders for a good period of their A-League/USL days... particularly the Brad Kimura regime who threatened to sue supporters for making their own scarves!
Tacoma is onto a good thing. That video is pretty good work. The best way they could muck things up is go to USL-1. It just won't work with Seattle MLS, the Tide in that video appeared to get a good fan support out to some games. Good to see.

former Tacoma Tide star Ciaran O'Brien has spectacular outing vs. LA (at least in my opinion). http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2008/04/carlos-ruiz-out.html
Tacoma Tide FC revealed their new mascot today...."Surf Dude." Next goal: "Hang 10" on an opponent sometime this season.
GoalSeattle - I wish teams had more fans like you. Good job getting us up to speed on the Tide. They look as if they are running a good PDL organization. ...............I'm gonna reserve judgement on surf dude though.
Thanks, Shelts. I'm with you..."Surf Dude" will need to be pretty funny or pretty clever to win me over...dude.
