Since they’re taking photos from the stands during these away games, we actually ended up with some decent shots for once...☕

Look, I'm not the judge of whether they're attractive 😉...but whether they're crazy? That's another story...😁

Irry... what's the deal with those first official signs used by the groups from the other American national factions... does anyone actually know which ones they were? Are people staying low-key about them? Any lines or slogans we can use?

swiftmarlin72 said:Like your buddy mentioned down there, they've clearly been carrying a replica since 2003...
It’d actually be pretty cool to find out which group has the longest-serving banner in all our sections... I mean, a total original, right from day one...
Man, finding that out would be interesting. Honestly, what are we even waiting for with the registrations? And about our main banner—we definitely haven't been lugging the original around since 2003. We switched to a replica back then specifically to stop it from falling apart after being used for 16 years straight...☕
The thing is, this was the first ever official banner the Navy presented. Because of that, it became a legend and a symbol for us. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't preserve it by doing exactly that—keeping the original safe from falling to pieces.🤷

Harold Ross2 said:Nah, I’m just here to suggest they bring the yellow back into the color scheme because it looks damn good in the stands!
If my memory serves me right, those white, blue, and yellow flags looked killer in front of the old stadium about three years ago...
Cheers😛

Why are you bringing up designers? You talking about actual pros or just joking around? I mean, the group pretty much designs its own stuff anyway...🤷
And what’s the point of having matching flags? Well, look at these photos—I think they work perfectly for this...☕

Frank Gomez31 said:Why wouldn't you want every single flag to be its own damn thing every two steps?
Honestly, I think I actually prefer the Cohort. 😉☕
I feel you, man. I really do. Honestly, if my people hadn't pulled this off, I would’ve walked away from them in a heartbeat. Just straight up done with them. Total waste of time.😁 😉
And who says flags aren't different? Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. Look, man, give me a break—it's not like we have a million different combinations to work with anyway.☕
darkstag4 said:What kind of flags are you even talking about, you absolute moron?!
Quick question for the guys rocking that armada style—since when have you guys been flying that white strike flag?
Ever since that first official road trip to Podgorica, it’s been the same old story. It's just tradition at this point.😉

Joshua Lopez13 said:Look, I never said everything had to be a damn masterpiece. And honestly, I’m not even deep enough into the scene to know if the Navy was actually doing anything significant before the Torac and BBB eras. Not that the historical context really matters to me anyway. My point was just that the banners look cheap—the design is lazy and the quality is garbage. I mean, for crying out loud, it’s not like making a decent banner is rocket science in this day and age. If they can't get it right, they should just grab the board of directors by the wallet and force them to pay up. 😉Look, if we're actually going to make this forum worth anyone's time, we need to bring in some creative minds. Not everyone can just grind away at the same repetitive tasks all day.

Look, everyone in the Navy feels pretty bad that you've got such a negative take on these two heavy hitters in the photo, especially since they were only just released.😢 😁 🤣

Seattle - Newell's 2:1
March 16, 2009.
A 93rd-minute winner to wrap things up—talk about an emotional rollercoaster. Ninety minutes of pure tension, frustration, and finally, relief. After that embarrassing loss down in Savannah, we decided to take a cool-headed approach. We actually hit the locker room before the final training session to tell the guys straight: playing like that in a Seattle jersey isn't an option. No excuses, no matter what. You could see the shift early on; the aggression was definitely higher in the first half. The crowd was loud from kickoff, even while people were still trickling in, waving two new flags that stayed flying the whole match. In the second half, we cranked the noise up, especially with our "Don't you dare!" chants and pushing for the win. Things got dicey when Newell's took advantage of a mistake and Stroker scored a beauty to pull them within one, sending their fans wild. Around the 60th minute, the visual was great—flags on poles going up alongside smaller banners along the bottom of the stands. In the end, the grind paid off for both the players and us fans. The die-hards who stuck it out until the 93rd minute got to see Cerri find the net again, and he celebrated by running onto the track in front of the West stand. But hey, this is Seattle, so don't expect us to celebrate too calmly. If you try to jump the fence for a second to celebrate, you’ll find yourself getting yanked back by a squad of aggressive cops. There was some shoving and a few hits with batons—probably just panic on their end. So, instead of just singing "I love you, Seattle," we ended up singing our grievances to the police. They hate us, we hate them, but we live for this city and this great country, America!
After the match, about 40 of the younger guys headed out to show some local love. We went over to the Hill District to support the girls at the Central European finals, cheering them on as they chased that trophy. They even tossed some scarves into the crowd as a thank you. The arena wasn't even half full compared to a Champions League match, but the atmosphere was top-tier regardless. Don't let us down!!
Next Sunday, we face Los Angeles FC. We need to show up in even bigger numbers and pack the stands if we want to stay on track for the UEFA Cup. A win here is huge to get a winning streak going and set the stage for the upcoming run of games, all leading up to our 22nd anniversary at the Stadium against the Yankees!

Frank Gomez31 said:Go ahead, tell me exactly what fabric you used for those flags and which specific shades of color you picked out. If you get that right, maybe the stadium committee will actually give you a decent grade for the design. 😁
I couldn't even if I wanted to, since there are a few Democratic Party folks scattered throughout this PDF too...😁 😉

The Moral Authorities
02.19.2009.
We won the battle, but the war is far from over. A roundtable was held at the sports and maritime expo featuring various organizations, one notorious English hooligan, and the police. While it might seem trivial, the cops actually announced they’d adopt some of our suggestions regarding the new legislation. My last post was basically arguing that we don't even need this law if they just scrap certain clauses. Now, the police are looking at issues like alcohol, face coverings, and ID requirements because the big shots finally realized people were calling them out for infringing on civil liberties and passing laws that are impossible to actually enforce.
If things keep going this way, we might actually become media darlings for a day—finally getting some positive coverage about this law. But, because nothing is ever perfect, the "moral authorities" like Štimac, Srebrić, the police, and those local politicians have to chime in.
Štimac, besides gunning for the USSF presidency, clearly has his sights set on leading the HHO, and maybe even an ambassadorship to Vatican City. It’s hilarious: a guy with more criminal records than 90% of the fan base is sitting there lecturing fans, telling us not to act like animals. This is a man who’s been in bar fights, called for American fans in Maribor to get killed, sets off flares during his own club's championship celebrations, and talks trash about Rijeka fans while acting as his team's captain on camera. He even physically assaulted a referee at Kantrida, which took a month for the official to actually report.
Then there’s Srebrić, the secretary for the biggest sports organization in the country—the very board that everyone in America seems to hate most.
And let's not forget the police, whose ranks include everything from dealers and loan sharks to the latest organized crime syndicates down in the South. Then you have the local politicians who don't have a shred of integrity left after bankrupting thousands of families, only to come crawling back now to score points during the election season.
So yeah, these are the people invited to talk about the "fan problem" in a country that’s practically bursting at the seams, all while ignoring the experts who are trying to point out what the actual root of the problem is.

Suffocating Congress with useless laws
02.16.2009.
By bowing down to media witch hunts and chasing cheap political points, we’ve drifted away from what we actually stood for over the last few years: the idea that we don't need a specific "fan law." Our whole fight has been about making sure any legislation focuses on stadium security rather than just targeting fans—which is exactly how everyone labels it. In reality, it’s just a fan law. Most laws meant to prevent disorder at sporting events should be about policing protocols or stadium infrastructure, not just punishing spectators. But let's be real: they always go after the guy drinking a beer or holding a flare, while the players and club execs get a free pass.
Politicians just flip-flop whenever the wind changes because, frankly, most of them haven't got a clue what's going on. Sociologists and the leaders at HHO told them that straight to their faces. When they tried to act like they knew better by presenting the final proposal, the police used statistics to claim that 200–300 people were a "problematic" group—that’s barely 2% of the entire fan base. It’s absurd to pass special legislation targeting 200 or 300 people, many of whom are minors who probably won't stop being troublemakers even if they stop showing up to games. The issue lies within society as a whole, but society doesn't get hit with new laws; instead, it’s the fan subculture that takes the heat. They’re discriminating against a culture that is a legitimate part of our community.
The latest "culture" sweeping through America lately is this heavy bass/country-trap scene, which I’d argue is way more dangerous than us. In places where that stuff is blasting, you actually see firearms. And I’m not talking about players having "fire" in their feet; I mean guys with actual pistols, either firing them into the air to celebrate or aiming them at someone's legs.
There are ten times more clubs playing that music than there are soccer stadiums with hooligans, yet parents still take their kids there to have their ears blasted. If my memory serves, wasn't there even some gunfire involving our national team players before or after a game?
Let’s look at the math. A couple of drunk guys getting into a scrap on a game day in a town like Columbus, Ohio, results in a year-long ban from all local matches and a mandatory police check-in every single weekend, plus at least six hours of house arrest because the cops can basically knock on your door whenever they feel like it. Meanwhile, a brawl outside a dive bar just gets you ID'd by the cops or, if you're unlucky, stuck in a precinct until dawn (the same thing happens to fans during a clash, regardless of whether you're drunk or not). But at least with a bar fight, you aren't banned from hitting the next club next weekend, and you can swap out a Thompson track for some Ceca!
The lawmaker's message is basically this: Hey fans, ditch the subculture. Go hang out in front of a dive bar with a gun in your car, act like a total hillbilly, start fighting for fun, and then maybe we can all join you in smashing glasses—since our hands are already bloody anyway.
Other possible logic: a fight at a polling station (you're banned from voting next time), a fight over a car accident (banned from sitting in a car for a year), a fight in front of a school (banned from studying for a year), a fight over a girl (banned from dating for a year/banned from visiting brothels in Europe)..
Hey Washington, what are you waiting for? Pass some new laws so we don't feel so special!
