Bring back Blazer cups

by FryeGuy on Aug 26, 2008 10:06 PM PDT Comment 22 comments

I have been thinking about this for a while but I think it would be really awesome if Dairy Queen and the Blazers could come together and update the coolest cross promotion of my childhood.

I am of course talking about Blazer cups.

I think I speak for most people who grew up in late eighties and early nineties in Oregon and lower Washington when I say that these were much cooler than anything that came in any happy meal.

Now is the perfect time to bring Blazer cups back. We have the right guys for the first time since they stopped doing them. I mean how cool would it be to sip out of a BRoy glass and clink a cheers with your buddy who is sipping out of an Oden glass.

On a side note, as a tribute they could put out the Duckworth glass again and give some of the money to a charity in his name or something.

better yet, make those cups pint glasses

That way you can fill it with you favorite beverage while enjoying the Blazer victories. Portland is the micro-brew capitol of the US and should have a worthy cup for those who prefer them.

Good point

upon further review this idea is better. I am thinking Widmer would be the best option. They already have the place in the Rose Garden, it would be perfect.

Honestly, this is a really really good idea.

"Jerryd is straight ahead at you. Rudy dips around. Jerryd is a rock. Rudy is the wind. Jerryd loves the ball in his hands. Rudy moves without it. Jerryd defends by getting up in your grill. Rudy plays the spaces in between. Jerryd has focused vision. Rudy sees all around him. Jerryd likes to score off of the dribble. Rudy can catch and shoot. Jerryd is aggressive. Rudy is sneaky. Jerryd will hit you hard. Rudy will annoy you until you hit him." -Dave

Head to Goodwill

I’ve seen dozens of Dairy Queen Blazer cups there whenever I go (up in the Portland area of course).

I got a Duckworth fishing one, a few Clyde’s that I gave out for presents, Buck, Kersey, Porter, Uncle Cliffy…

They all there.

That's the idea!

Just kidding. Actually one Blazer Glass equals about two glasses which is good for your heart. Or so I want to strongly believe.

No DONT SEND TO MILLER

He will just outsource it to some company that will ONLY sell to vendors in a certain area and make getting a deal done soo preposterously and ridiculously egregiously (ok im done sorry) expensive most fans outside the Portland Metro Area wont be able to afford access to the potential cup vendor.
