I may have missed it in the game thread, but I haven't read many comments about the Rip City jerseys from last night. Personally, I wouldn't want them as a regular jersey, but 4 or 5 times a year (always home games) would be cool. More importantly, does anyone know if Rip City jerseys are for sale at the Rose Garden? I'm taking the kiddies to the game tomorrow and would love to pick up a set of white Rip City jerseys. We already have black and red, and quite frankly my black Oden jersey is starting to show it's age (I bought it the day he had his microfracture surgery), as is my youngest's black Batum jersey we custom ordered at the start of last season. I've been thinking about getting some white jerseys anyway. I think it would be cool to have something a little different. BNM
I like them. I remember some people felt they looked hideous when they debuted them at the press conference in the summer, but I actually think they look pretty cool. And yeah, you can buy them at the RG or online http://fans.trailblazers.com/CampusStore/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=57
Thanks. I poked around the online store and it looks like the smallest size they come in is adult medium. Looks like my youngest (4'2" 54 lbs.) will be sporting a Rip City Batum 88 dress. BNM
hmm.. yeah, I don't think I've seen the Rip City jerseys in youth sizes, haven't really paid attention. I'd be surprised if they didn't make them though eventually.
Rip City Jerseys at the fan shop are available in Roy and Fernandez only, and they can not make customs at the Garden (I have tried). The only way to get a Batum is going to be a special order from the web site.
Bummer. Last year at the beginning of the season, we showed up early for a game and custom ordered my youngest a youth small black Batum 88 jersey. They made it at the Rose Garden and it was ready by half time. BNM
