    This just happened two hours ago, i'm in Madrid right now and saw a guy in a Lillard jersey and and I immediately found him likeable even though I didn't even know him. Had to ask him if he's a Trail Blazers fan and we had a funny conversation. Of course it's more likely to see a guy with Blazers jersey in America than in Europe, it's stil pretty cool haha

    This happens to me all the time. I usually just say "Rip City" and give them a thumbs up.

    I just say "Go Blazers" and act like that's a normal thing to say to a stranger.

    Proves Dames marketing equity is world class.
    If I saw a fan in Spain with a Trent Jersey now hat would be impressive.

    I feel like I'm in good company and probably at home because I live in Lane County where there are lots of us...I do like seeing el presidente with the LA Blazer fans at Staples...that always gives me a smile....so either I'm seeing another fan or somebody who just dresses out of Goodwill stores.

    I live in Chicago and I saw a guy in a Rip City playoffs jersey a few weeks ago and I was encouraged. I was in Hawaii last year and I saw a dude in a Lillard jersey and gave him a shoutout.

    Interesting, whenever @THE HCP sees a fan in a Przybilla uniform, he gives them a handy.

    That’s almost eerie. I was just wondering this morning how her tomatoes were liking this weather. I think she and Reggie get out earlier than we do most mornings so I haven’t seen her in a bit. We’re looking forward to them!

    You'd be surprised how many blazer shirts and jerseys show up to games here in Indy. Used to catch me off guard, not anymore. Had a cashier at whole foods a few weeks back randomly say to me that Portland is his favorite team, and always has been when he saw my pinwheel hat.
