Jose Kern11 said:Man, they barely even managed to get this out. This article has basically been sitting on a shelf for two years. And here we are, getting lectured about unity and being "classy" fans... Honestly, if we don't see an official statement or some kind of response by the next game, I'm done...
Jonathan Lewis3 said:slylynx3, you're way too full of yourself... you're just acting like some typical internet troll. it's not happening because honestly, nobody even reads your stuff anyway.
It’s common knowledge that back in the day, everyone was just piling into old vans driving out of Chicago, and back then, your little fan clubs really took hits... turnout was just terrible. Our numbers didn't actually start picking up until around 2008, and since then, we've consistently had at least two full sections filled up.
Why don't you just post some old photos from back then? Aside from those weird seasons in '05 and '06, you guys could totally prove it with pictures...
William Turner28 said:So, after getting teased by the guys about how small our fan base looks sometimes, especially at certain away games, I decided to dig up some old photos. Here’s a look at what the Ultras were wearing for both home and away stands back in the day. Just a heads-up, there were definitely even worse outfits than these, but I couldn't find any pictures from those specific matches... I guess I'm asking the experts here to weigh in on how a world-class group like the Ultras could ever end up looking this rough. Thanks...

nimblecobra42 said:And honestly, he’s totally right... especially about us being the best in all of Europe. Actually, I'd go as far as saying we're the best in the whole world...
Jesse Campbell said:If I posted this on any major fan forum over in Europe, 95% of people would be right there with me. But of course, you’ll always have those guys from some tiny town in rural USA or the local bar owners who just live to disagree. They’re the perfect example of people who spend their whole lives pretending to be NFL Ultras without ever actually grasping what the whole ultra movement is even about...
Just look at Štabulj. Honestly, what can I even say... ☕
Jesse Campbell said:Whenever I see other groups burning a BBB banner, it honestly reminds me of those extremists over in Nigeria, Yemen, or Afghanistan burning the American flag. It’s always that same vibe... like, "Oh, we're so tough, we're gonna go wild and cause chaos..."
Let's be real, BBB is unmatched when it comes to guts, being unapologetic, and sticking to their whole "Public Enemy No. 1" persona. They've been the most powerhouse group in Europe for decades now. So, the whole thing is basically just a joke.
It doesn't even matter if it was bbb Ljubljana or some Real Madrid fanatic who did it. You can't erase a legacy built on defiance and pride...
All that "we took their flag" talk? That's just noise for amateur fan clubs. BBB shouldn't even waste their breath on stuff like that.
Casey Gomez3 said:It’s honestly impossible to ignore how much you guys are taking cues from the biggest fanbases in Europe. Your whole aesthetic and the way you handle the visuals is starting to look just like ours... I felt like I had to reach out and say your progress is looking great.
I'm especially digging the call-and-response singing and those quick little hand-clapping chants. If I can offer one tiny bit of advice—maybe ditch that overly sentimental, "heart-on-your-sleeve" type of messaging to the club? It would be killer to swap that for something a bit more aggressive. You know, something like: No retreats, no surrender, while our hearts still beat, it's us or them, charge brothers, swords drawn... something like that.
But hey, that’s just my two cents. Honestly, I’m stoked, I might just celebrate by high-fiving everyone in sight...
