    To something like: 2003 US Open Cup Champions!

    or 3 Time US Open Cup Champions! Show up the rest of the MLS.

    Just a suggestion. I love the mothership tagline, but change is a good thing.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Let's see what else this season can bring us.

    I think the mothership line should stick awhile.

    And it only fits with recent and future accomplishments.

    I was thinking along the lines of

    'Already 2003 US Open Cup Champions. And you thought we would suck.'

    Or something.

    Ok.

    Then when we win The Double...wishful thinking. Let's change it.

    Double? Hell, we've still got that Supporter's Shield to bring home too!

    I make it 5 titles this year :)

    Eastern Divison league winners DONE
    US Open Cup winners DONE
    Supporters Shield winners
    Eastern Division playoff champs
    MLS Cup champs

    Then let's add in a few MVP titles to the mix.

    And maybe The Fire could enter BBSL in the winter.

    (talking of BBSL, oh we are not, shame. Is there a website for BBSL? )

    Change it already, geez.
    Give the props/take the bragging rights!

    That "mothership" thing was/is kinda funny, but it DOES kinda sound sort of umm, Star Trek/dungeons and dragonsish , youknowhatimsayin'?

    But wait, this is a net bulletin board, duh.

    Nevermind.

    no dice. I like D&D. Also, I think the mothership thing is more of a semi-permanent funny... not just a one-week thing. and my final point is that if we are kicking so much a-- ... then why would we want to brag about winning ONE open cup?? it´ll be cooler when we win the triple... then we can really start bragging.

    Not like I actually get a vote or anything, but i think the current tagline should stay for a while...we've only played one freakin game in the mothership.

    It sounds George Clinton-ish to me. How is that a bad thing?

    It stays.

    You've never heard Parliament, have you? The Mothership Connection is what defined funk in the 70's and 80's.

    You mean change it to 2003 US Open Cup Champs and leave it up for the duration of the year like the Crew fans?

    Leave it till we have a list of accomplishments come November.

    I was thinking we just put Sakiewicz's quote up as a big middle finger to the rest of the league!

    I´m too Funk-a-Fied to even begin to respond to that kind of street litter.

    We´re a team that combines the classic sensibilities of a 1950´s robot with the dynamic flare of a 1970's street pimp. And until you step to Rec-og-nize, the fact of the matter is that we listen to funk and watch soccer because soccer is a game played on a field and funk is music that moves your groove.

    Woah, the aliens got me by the electric brain banana, chief.

    It better stay.
     
  22. I think it should stay, since these fools have just begun to 'witness' said 'power,' but the "I hate that team" quote is really tempting. Can we have a tag-paragraph instead of just a tag-line?

    No SHlT.
    That's exactly the point:
    white boy internet geek sounding to me.

    Oh well, keep it kids, no sweat off my nads.
