Rip City Style



Portland Trail Blazer fans are rip-roaring with the start of this years 2009/2010 season. Over the past few years, our franchise has been rebuilding its staff and players. Seen within this positive movement, is the support and love for the team. If you are from Portland, you really never lost hope. But for those fans that did, or turned their backs when things got rough…are back!

How do we know this? The multitude of red, black and white clothing seen all over town, and especially at Blazer games. Fans truly have brought back their excitement for the game and the team. One example is the t-shirt shown above “rip city.” This slogan was started by Blazer announcer Bill Schonely in the 70s, and has stuck. These shirts are seen everywhere and the phrase is said by every fan.

Another style seen on women, men and children are Blazer Jerseys. An example of a jersey is shown above on the right side. Brandon Roy is a current Blazer, but fans wear any jersey they have, and it doesn’t matter if the person still plays for us or not, it’s all about showing support.

The last Rip City style seen out and about, is the checkered or flannel Blazer colored shirts. This look is mostly seen on women. One style is a flannel shirt, paired with skinny jeans. This look can be worn with boots or flats, like the picture shown above. Another common look is to wear a longer flannel shirt with leggings and boots.

Have you shown your Blazer colors recently? Now that you know who’s wearing what, go shopping in your closet and show Portland your red, black and white style. See you at the games!
