    Did anyone else notice the Seahawks team bus outside the Moda Center last night? Wondered why that was down here.

    This further proves that the Blazers are trying to separate "Rip City" from Portland and make it a term for all Blazer fans. I find it extremely insulting.

    I've always wanted to see a Seahawk alternate color version in traditional turquoise, red, black, white. Not that I care about football at all, I just think it would be cool given the Native American inspiration for the team's name and logo.

    The stretch limo is no longer big enough for PA's entourage of groupies.

    I'm not saying they're moving the team. I'm saying they're trying to market to people in Seattle, but Rip City is Portland. The team needs to stop trying to take that away from us.

    If I was the owner I would market to Washington as well now that there is no team. You make it sound like only people who live in POR should get to say or wear Rip City. I don't live there but used to live somewhere in Oregon and am obviously a huge fan even with being out of State. I would be more worried about the colors then not having the word Portland there personally.

    Rip City is an attitude, not a location.

    I fail to see a problem with it. Rip City is Oregon more so than it is Portland. The Blazers are Oregons team as much as the Supersonics were Washingtons team. As much as I hate the media and PR, their job is to essentially try to get the story (or name, or what have you) out to as many people as possible.

    Whatever happened to sharing is caring?

    Someone should make it in Raider and Niner colors just to piss off the new Seahawk fans.

    Seattle fans love Portland and everything Oregon. I am sure that the Rip City shirts will go over quite well up there.

    I don't think they look good on Black but they do look good on White or Grey imo.
