Wondo statue outside Avaya Stadium

Is it too early to start a collection?

 

The autographed fabric mural thing in my office shows him doing just that, but for a statue the fist pump (A) may be a better choice. Think about it, you could attach apropos signage to his upraised hand every game. Or if nothing else, a yellow card. (I have no doubt that Wondo would be frequently flashing one on-field were it somehow permitted.)

 

How about yapping at the ref intensely?

Just kidding.

 

Take my money please...

 

As much as I would like the double fist clench goal scoring face, it would not make a great statue.

We need something respectful, steely-eyed, proud, resolute... preferably in his kit with his Kiowa captain armband....freaking legend.

 

Ball or Golden Boot in one hand, other hand on the shoulder of a kid.

 

Gotta be the angry face (which he often uses after scoring). Love the angry face. It represents his intensity, which is off the charts and his most defining characteristic - the warrior coming over the hill.

 

I told you, it looks too much like projectile vomiting.

 

Or maybe they plumb water into the statue where Wondo blows out the water every hour like Old Faithful.

Or have a button you press and he drenches you with water. Might come in handy on a hot day. Who needs a pool when you have the Wondo Super-Soaker!

 

That was my first thought!

 

So many classic Wondo poses.

 

Yeah, and we could steal the water from LA too, just to make it all the sweeter! Except that their water was stolen from us in the first place. Nevermind....

 

Can't choose one, so I'd donate for multiple statues. You forgot "Punching The Shit Out Of Teammate In Joy."

Fisticuffs of Joy?

Anyway, I love The Point. And it's a great, Wondo-esque message for fans: "You. Not me. You."

I love replaying The Point for kids. Wondo will make a goal out of spilt Lobina beer foam and a couple trampled Henok Goitam program posters and he'll still try to share the credit.

 

how about.....listen Frenchie you're in MLS now and I rule....

 

Lots of good choices. I really like D, the clenched fists, because that expresses Wondo's legendary intensity.

But that makes a lousy statue, I think. So, I'd go with C, clenching the crest (the 'Quakes crest of course, not USMNT crest). As a statue out front of Avaya, it also expresses the Wondo intensity, but, it shows his unequivocal pride in his CLUB. In our CLUB.

Imagine walking through the main entrance at Avaya before every game with "Wondo" out front with that look on his face clenching the crest and effectively shouting "This is OUR house!". Wouldn't that be awesome?

 

This is what I thought "the point" was when I voted.

Note to lawyer, read document carefully before signing.

 

i have a feeling the owner(s) would choose the pointing statue with Wondo pointing to the Highline development, so they can hang a "For Sale or Lease" sign on his finger.

 

I picked one, but I think it would be okay for Wondo himself to pick what he wants.

 

I have a feeling he'd not want to be involved, honored yes, but not involved.
