    Ugh. One of the coolest things about Blazer games is that people have so many differing types of Blazer gear. Blazer fans don't need to all dress alike to be a big advantage at home.

    Let's leave the T-shirt gimmick to OKC, Golden State, Indiana, and other bandwagon fanbases.

    They gave out t-shirts back in 09 I think. I still have a Rip City Uprise shirt somewhere.

    ugh. Don't need this. Free shirts are cool and all but I hope people don't rock them and just rock their 90s Western Conference Finals shirts, their Brian Grant throwbacks and everything that's awesome about being a fan with a history of following the team.

    I suppose that getting a shirt doesn't necessarily mean you need to wear the shirt.

    I agree with the above. I'd love to have the shirt. I'd hate for every one of our fans in the arena to be decked out in them all at the same time. Yuck.

    Now I won't be able to make fun of the other fan bases who do that. It sucks.

    OTOH: If they were plaid shirts in honor of DR. Jack, that would be cool.

    I'm rocking an old jersey when I go to the game.

    Plus, having all the same shirts just makes opposing jerseys in the stands stand out more. Could you imagine in OKC if there were a few Sonics jerseys during those games where they wear the same shit? It'd be totally obvious.

    Me too. I immediately thought plaid would be awesome.

    It would be logistically impossible to source those at the last minute, but I would approve. That would be fucking legendary.

    Yeah, can you imagine trying to get 20k plaid t-shirts with a Blazer logo, at the very least, even in 2 weeks, let alone 2 days. It would be the topper of all T-shirt handouts, though.

    Not sure how I feel about this. I like the free t shirt, don't like not having my robinson jersey showing. If everyone is wearing them I will too, otherwise I'll probably put it under my seat and keep it as a souvenir, but let my Trob jersey shine bright.

    Yeah, I like this idea along with free hats. That would be pretty cool.
