Your Slogan for the New Blazersedge T-Shirt
by Dave on Feb 1, 2012 8:30 AM PST

Email
PrintThe good folks at Portland's own Cravedog have designed a t-shirt especially for Blazersedge. We haven't had a shirt in a while and it was cool to have it done by a group of experts! You can see the design right after the jump. EXCEPT...the shirt isn't finished yet. You'll noticed that on the back they've put the slogan "Because Dave and Ben Said So!" While we appreciate the sentiment, I'm not sure that's the perfect line to represent our site and community. That's why we're turning to you.
In the comment section of this post please write your suggestions for a short slogan to go on the back of our new shirts. It can be serious, funny, pithy...whatever you wish. We'll pick out the best one--or if we can't decide we'll put it up to a vote maybe--and give a free shirt to the person who came up with it. Get those creative juices flowing and come up with the next great site description or slogan!

Are you not familiar with the phrase "Living on the edge"?
It is also a play on the Blazers old “Rise With Us” slogan and the fact that many fans seem to spend all of their time on this website.
Perhaps it was too nuanced.

I'm sorry, I thought this was obvious. Maybe I'm just old.
There is this old movie about basketball con men Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson called “White Men Can’t Jump”.
When blog stories are continued on another page it is often referred to as “after the jump”.
I’m pretty sure Dave and Ben are white and they write blog stories about basketball.

it's a favorite post-game mcmillianism, if i'm not mistaken.
I don't always root for an NBA franchise, but when I do, I prefer the Portland Trail Blazers.
it is at the top of the top three Rasheed Wallacisms
1. Both teams played hard
2. Ball don’t lie
3. Cut the check
i like it here, there, everywhere.
Yup. The guy was a quote machine, even if some of his best quotes couldn't be printed in the paper.
“Both teams played hard” came up after a playoff game, when the NBA required him to talk to the press and he didn’t want to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yXiWZyJL90
If I remember right, he got fined for that.
I think, and I may be wrong
But I am pretty sure he got fined for skipping a previous press conference, and this one was the subsequent conference.
i like it here, there, everywhere.
Consulting Professor Google
The infamous quote was on 4/27, on 4/28 the NBA laid down the law:
The NBA fined Rasheed Wallace (Por) $10,000 for failing to cooperate with
the media after Sunday’s Por-Dal game and $20,000 for not participating in
Monday’s media access period. Portland was also fined $50,000 for not
ensuring that Wallace complied with the NBA media interview rules for the 2
days.
I loved the irony of David Stern using the phrase during the lockout.

Oh man, if we're going to use a regular quote from a star, how about "No doubt about it"?
That dude actually led us to the Finals!
I feel like "both teams played hard" is quintessential Blazersedge

I say this because
there is truly nowhere else online or in print that you can get coverage like this. Nowhere. The writing is fresh, the reporting is solid, and it doesn’t feel forced or like someone’s grind, it feels like someone actually gives a sh** about the Blazers, and it comes through. The slogan should represent that it actually IS different from (and better than) any other Blazers news source.

Blunts and cupcakes...Bumble Bee's secret weapon.
I just hope the slogan has nothing to do with the Jailblazer era or anything else negative like Oden’s situation, etc. So no “Both Teams Played Hard” or “Cut The Check” slogans. That was an ugly time for this franchise. “Respect These Years” was a good one though. It needs to be something witty, relevant and positive.
