Coincidence?


I don't think so.

    I hear they are in the final of MLS against LA Galaxy.

    Go Portland! Beat them Galaxians! Make that paper!
    Go go go: Trailblazers
    Go go go: Trailblazers

    Portland ultras can have that chant, gratis.

    Want to hear
    "He's one of your own
    He's one of your own
    Oh Bill Cosby
    He's on of your own".

    Actually it has been interesting to see the evolution of the go-to melody du jour for soccer chants.
    In my heyday it was either Sailing or Son Of My Father.
    A decade back and it was Go West.
    This year brings Sloop John B.

    What do our meribredren bring to this table?

    I looked the origin of the logo to find this:


    What does the Portland Trail Blazers' logo mean?

    Here's the lowdown, according to dinesh.com.

    Harry Glickman’s cousin, Frank Glickman, of Boston, Massachusetts, designed the original logo, consisting of a straight up and down pinwheel with black on the top and red on the bottom. It’s meaning is simple: a modern graphic interpretation of the game of basketball, five players from one side playing against five players from another. In 1992, the Blazers changed from the lowercase typography to a bold, uppercase typeface, adding a dimension to the word mark and tilting the pinwheel, an affectionate name that evolved with fans and media, forty-five degrees to signify motion of the game.
    I want that 30 seconds back!

    Portland's MLS team is the Timbers.
    Their season is over.

    Seattle Sounders fans chant cocksparrer, sea shanties, and the team name a weird version of "Daryl, Daryl" that fans here always got wrong: started with "Ed-Gar, Ed-Gar" to their own DH Martinez...

    And they do it in a Dick van Dyke chiminey sweep voice.

    That sounds awful, although it's cool that they have a devoted fan base.

    I miss Sonics/Blazers games.
