What is Blazermania it's Franz Bread Cards

is completely funny!

—Dave

I did the same thing as a kid growing up in Clackamas, OR. You’re right on the head. Those cards were so legit.

The good thing for me at the time was that my dad was a worker for of a local Franz Bread!! Could you imagine the excitement in our house when my Dad told us he would bring home a whole stack of Blazer cards? We went nuts!!! All of friends had them, we traded them, we took them to school. We literally dreamed Blazers night and day as kids – this may be the sign of Blazermania – when the youth catch on to the “fever.”

 I was in the fourth grade during the 90’ playoffs…. Franz Bread cards made that year in school so radical for me. I think I learned more math looking at the back of the cards than I did in my elementary school (Mt. Scott Elementary School Alumni !!! )

Yes! I’d go back to eating Franz white bread exclusively if those cards are available. Also, I’d love to see those DQ glasses back. Maybe a 2009 remix of Ripcity Rhapsody with Greg, Travis, Rudy and Jerryd as well.

No Ripcity Rhapsody. Never again.

Imagine how much money the cups and the trading cards would generate the companies? It would re-energize sales and Blazermania!

The DQ cups back in the day were really educational for us young fans who wanted to know more about their players.
What do you think would be the action shots for our current roster given that we don’t know a lot about them?

Brandon Roy – Bike riding w/ a HUGE helmet on
LaMarcus Aldridge – ????
Greg Oden – Stalking Rhianna w/ a video camera a la Cliffy
Others? – need some help

The 77 championship 7-up bottles and the texaco squeeze bottles. I’m up to my neck in blazer uncollectables.

fanpost ever.

from the 77 championship season that my dad gave me. I think little things like that plus the cards and the DQ cups also it seems like i remember getting posters at texico stations when i filled up. I don’t remember can anyone confirm or deny this?

kinda like the bust a bucket one. Also I remember 1190 KEX playing songs while we were in the playoffs like taking care of Phoenix to the tune of taking care of business by BTO. Bob Miller in the mornings.

I can remember in Junior High in the early 90’s we’d have Blazer day when we were in the playoffs. Everyone would wear their Blazers gear and red, black and white. That’s Blazermania (along with the Franz cards.)

Disappeared long ago. The one that sticks with me, though, is the ‘Red Hot & Rollin’" t-shirt my mom owned in 1977. White t-shirt with red letters and a red collar and sleeve ends. I’m sure it is hiding in a box somewhere.

Trailblazers glassware at Dairy Queen spells Blazermania for me.

how old are you?… i grew up in Newberg with pretty much that same exact experience…

       Duck pointing to the fish to get into the basket is
the best DQ glass ! RIP Big Duck !!!

the Blazer police cards from the late 70’s thru the mid 80’s (I believe that Clyde’s rookie season was the last year they did them. Clyde has a Red jersey on.) And DQ came out with the small round cardboard disks (i believe they were called POG’s ) for the 25th anniversary. They fit on a 8 × 11 1/2 cardboard holder. The pictures were from the 25 greatest Blazers up to that point.

but I don’t think that Franz was making cards when Lionel Hollins was a Blazer. Might it have been the Police sets?

Also anyone remember the sunshine pizza exchange glasses from the mid 80’s that featured two Blazers on each glass?

Trout – Fishing obviously
LA – Making local commercials
Oden – Rehabbing… just kidding…. Greg will be singing Kary-oak-ee
Rudy and Sergio (if he’s here) have a joint cup where they are…. uh? ON a ship? Spanish ship in the olden times?
Webster – Spiderman?
Batum – Sitting at a Bistro sipping an espresso
Prizbilla = Praying
Bayless – Merry Chrismas from Bayless, Merry Christmaaas.
Roy – Parenting

The thing is, these promo cereals were usually terrible but Monsta O’s were really good. Shame mom bought only one box… As a younger generation fan i feel its one of the few collectors item type things the blazers ever issued, i wish i got some sweet bread cards, better times man… i missed out. Here’s to the future, im looking forward to Bayflakes and Ruffilk for breakfast.

I got a slew of ‘em. My folks bought like 20 loafs and put ’em in the big freezer in the basement. I wasn’t sposed to dig through ’em for the cards until we actually needed a neww loaf. Used to really honk my parents off when the loaf would come out and anyone could see the plastic clip was barely hanging on the spunt wrapper, and for some reason no card inside… I was about as good as re-wrapping Christmas presents I peaked into early.

I’ve got the first 3 seasons of those gems
