    After going through all the votes we are down to our final 2

    Results from the final 5 (I checked each profile and counted only people that have the Rapids as their favorite team or are from Colorado and post on the Rapids Boards)

    Got to stick with my suggestion of "Nobody like us. We don't care" but I'd be happy with either choice.

    The "nobody likes us" sounds too much like a little kid whining.

    Just don't like it at all.

    I don't like it either. Why co-opt another team's whiny chant when there is such a fitting and ORIGINAL tagline to choose instead? Accentuate the positive! Viva Dick's Sporting Goods Park!

    Yes, it does sound like whining now that you point it out but....

    It's not the size..... this is already an admittance that we have a small Richard... It could be seen as stadium/Richard envy to others in the league.
    I would rather not come out of the gates admitting we are inadequate. :D

    Think about it, when anyone has said this phrase to a woman, what did it mean?
    Or how about when a woman said it back?
    :)

    I don't see this as an admission of inadequacy. The teams without their own soccer-specific stadiums are, um, Richardless. They are the ones who should be envious. :cool:

    I visit again and this is what has taken place, for shame. Both of those suck royally. You guys better go with "We are poor little lambs who have lost our way". You even get a song to go with it during the matches and no other stinking club has it. It's a Yale thing so it's got it's downside, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives. :D

    And the way the league is going, not having a stadium is going to translate into not have a team.

    Now there's a good tagline!! Just suggestive enough to make you laugh, but much more about the good thing that is the newest SSS in MLS.

    What are you people doing! "The ways of Fernando are an enigma" is a great tagline! Keep it!

    And I'm not just saying that because I suggested it ... :D

    I have to leave work early today. I looks like "It's Not the Size of Your Stadium, It's What You Do With It" has won. So I am going to let prk166 and Bonji decide what they want to do with it.

    I'm not sure I want to see the tag line change until after all this fallout settles. My 2 cents.

    No kidding. With the way this is playing out and THE REACTION I'm starting to put together thoughts that include the stadiums name and the word tease.

    I think the new tag line should be:
    "The game is 90 minutes long: but if we find it necessary to extend it, we will do so without telling you how long it will be."

    Since it was my baby that won this poll...I get to throw out some new ideas first:

    "Extreme Makeover: Club Edition"

    "It Doesn't Matter What Our Name Is!"

    "More Cosmetic Surgery than Beckham's Wife."

    "Down the Memory Hole."

    "What Identity Theft?"

    "Rapids Merchandise 80% Off!"

    "New Name, New Park, Same Mediocre Attack!"

    "The More Things Change..."

    "We Were Bored from The Blizzard, So We Made a Few Changes."

    "We Disavow Any Knowledge of The Last Eleven Years."

    "One Nil to the Rapids!"
    or
    "Boring, Boring, Colorado."


    Despite my inability to pass up a joke, I honestly feel for you guys.....

    In light of the recent marketing snafus, the tagline should be "The Ways Of The Rapids FO Are An Enigma"!

    So.... would anyone change their votes for a tagline after the last couple weeks of Rapids Front Office soap opera antics?
