    Ouch you're right. I hope not... same with the Wells Fargo logo, both would clash with our color schemes.

    Surely they will go with whoever pays them the most though right? I think Moda and Toyota make the most sense and might be the lost likely.

    This is still, and always will be, a terrible idea..... unless the swag for sale omits the ads... then Im not sure how I feel, but until they make it clear otherwise... this is the most terrible Idea the NBA has ever had.....
    I will never spend another cent on NBA swag if they do this.

    I think a year after they start doing it, folks will forget about the change just like when the Rose Garden became the Moda Center....fans were freakin' out when Moda renamed the stadium and I remember folks posting they'd never buy tickets to home games when the change happened...that fizzled pretty quickly. Hang in there dude! I don't think you can buy any Blazer swag for a penny anyway!

    You know it wouldn't be all that difficult to stage a boycott nationwide..

    Kind of a different situation though. The fans don't have the ability to purchase swag about the Rose Garden/Moda, like they do the Blazers. And when your looking to buy an official jersey, the replica of the player, they might very well sell them to us the way they have the players wear them. If this is the case, I'm with HailBlazers, we boycott this crap.


    The probable path they will follow. Remember, they are doing it for money in the first place.

    I assume that Denny is going to negotiate with the Blazers for some RipCityTwo ad space on the Blazers' uniforms?

    Never. They didn't pay me any money to call it that.
