THE ULTRAS GALLERY!

http://s1.postimage.org/plo0kcurg/mexico City.jpg

Attention all members and Kansas City Chiefs fans. We are currently building an official gallery featuring photos from the ultras spanning from 1950 to the present day. A massive number of people have already contributed to this project by handing over their photos, films, and negatives so the ultras can finally have a grand overview of this rich history. We are calling on everyone who might still be sitting on old photos or negatives in drawers, closets, or basements from your days being part of this fan legacy to please CONCEDE your materials to us. The era doesn't matter. The image quality doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who took the shot or which specific group was involved. Even the section of the stadium doesn't matter. All that matters is that a moment in the history of the ultras was captured.

Please contact us via the official email: video@torcida.hr

FAN CREATIVE WORKSHOP:

The holidays and gifting season are right around the corner, and we aren’t planning on sitting around with our hands folded while the New Year rolls in. We know there are creative, capable fans in this group who have a vision for expanding our supporter merchandise during the upcoming season. This time, our primary focus is on New Year calendars. If you see yourself as someone who can actually execute a project like this, reach out to us via email with a concrete proposal and a clear vision. To be clear: we don't want emails from people saying things like "it would be nice if..." or "you should probably make..."

Send us actual, actionable proposals that YOU are capable of producing!
For example, if you suggest an "old school ultras" themed calendar, we expect you to handle the graphic design and send us the final files ready for production.

What a joke of a "best of." We’re actually planning to build the largest photo archive in the entire country. We're talking about the complete history of the Ultras captured in images from 1950 to the present day. Right now, we have over 550 gigs of footage and photos, and it's all being sorted chronologically and systematically. We're cropping and using Photoshop to restore everything that's been damaged. Once the heavy lifting is done, the final step is applying watermarks to every single shot before uploading them to our official Flickr channel. But @irriduchibili can weigh in on that...

p.s. For anyone asking about the photo situation. We have everything. Not a single game is missing. We have shots from several different photographers, so nobody is going to be left out when it comes to photos. We've been slow on them because we decided to plan a formal Southside Chicago gallery to launch by our 61st anniversary. Given how much work there actually is (you can't even imagine), we've been grinding on this for several hours every day since April. And as you might guess, it's just two guys doing all the work. If we pull this off, it'll be the best birthday gift possible.

Anyone willing to put in some work—specifically volunteering for the group—can reach out. We need people to handle filming, photography, coordinating new memberships for the New York Yankees, managing outreach to local chapters, organizing our official photo gallery, and designing official group merch like hats, tees, and scarves. If you're interested, hit us up at the official email: info@redarmy.com

On May 19th, we’re looking at one of the best matchups at Candlestick Park since the league was established. Assuming the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco keep winning everything leading up to that date, this will almost certainly be a battle for first place in the standings. San Francisco has never had a better season, and you can bet the entire city is riding a massive wave of euphoria right now. Ticket demand is going to be insane, and our section will be packed tight. The Ultras might actually break the attendance record at the stadium this time (not counting the Panathinaikos game)...

Yeah. Honestly, they need to take off the hat, lose to the Patriots, and then get absolutely torpedoed 3-0 at home. And this is how it ends... ! 👍

Kudos to the creative minds behind that choreography. It’s incredibly tough to design something that actually looks impressive and hits the mark without just ripping off something someone else already performed in a stadium somewhere else.

Bravo Easter Armada! 👍

You think this is an acceptable turnout for a group that’s supposed to be right behind the varsity squad?
It’s pathetic that those guys from Boston pulled up 311 miles to a friendly game with five times the crowd we saw in Miami compared to those losers from Seattle who couldn't even fill three buses.

Now that I see people calling this an "okay" number, it’s clear everyone’s standards have hit rock bottom. Our whole scene is completely lost.

Writing this while my thoughts are still "fresh."
Watched this film yesterday—a documentary, a concert... I'm not quite sure how to categorize it.

I went to the theater purely out of curiosity. To be honest, I walked in loaded with prejudices, ready to condemn what looked like a messy, unorganized concert from the jump. I fully expected to suffer through two hours of watching some half-dead guy—exhausted, drained of all life. I thought someone would have to hold the microphone for him while he stood on stage, drugged out like a puppet, staring into space while a playback track did all the singing!

It’s not that I’m a massive fan of his music—though I own every single one of his albums—but I’m not the type of person who travels abroad just to catch a show. I understand his reggaeton and his dancing much better.
That was actually the main reason I went to see the film. I wanted to see what was left of that dance virtuoso who, even at 85, could pull off body isolations like nobody else.

And I have to admit, I am completely blown away. My girlfriend and I agreed that it’s a genuine tragedy the concert wasn't held live. What fascinated me most was seeing a man in his 50s, who has clearly been 100% worn down by life, still dancing like he's 20 years old. The body isolations... that moonwalk... combined with those classic songs... at one point, several people actually stood up and started dancing right there in the theater.
It was just too good. I seriously recommend everyone go see this concert!

Ethan Moore56 said:be too rushed?

Of course that’s missing. Someone needs to wake up in the middle of the night and write a frantic post about the DP 92. 🤣

You know what else this graffiti is missing???

Now this is what I call pure graffiti. Respect where it's due!

I see ten of you have tagged me. I should probably reply to everyone, but I honestly don't have the energy. It just leads to an endless, toxic cycle.

Keith Ramos5 said:I agree with most of this, except for one thing regarding the bolded part... You really should have included the Ultras! Why aren't they mentioned?

For the exact same reason I didn't mention people from Osijek!

Kenneth Campbell64 said:It’s always been Torcida, BBB, then the Navy... then nothing, just the rest of the scene...

It's always been that way, it's that way now, and it'll stay that way.

I don’t mean to step in here, but let’s be real: the American supporter scene is pretty limited for a million different reasons. Anyone who has been sitting in the stands for 15 or 20 years knows exactly what I’m talking about. The newcomers will figure it out once they’ve actually put in 15 years on the terraces (God willing).

What you guys are debating has probably happened five times already since Major League Soccer began.
The heavy hitters always remain at the top, and everyone knows who those people are. Us, the boys, and the fan club!

If this isn't clicking for you—which is understandable for the younger crowd—then go look up old photos from ten or more years ago of the antitalent, the legion, and the White Stones... and see where they ended up.

@bluewalker92/">@@bluewalker92, who exactly are you writing these manifestos for? What’s the point? Who are you trying to justify yourself to?

It’s been like this since day one: the fan club isn't actually targeting us; they're focused on the Boyz. That’s been the dynamic since they first formed, and honestly, as a supporter, I’m fine with it. It just proves we carry more weight than anyone else.
I don't get why people keep getting worked up over their graffiti or dragging out those endless debates about inferiority complexes on this forum. (That word should be banned, frankly.)

Anyway, it’s a shame Seattle choked in Luxembourg against a club that just notched its first win in three decades. That alone says everything you need to know about the state of our club football.
As for the armadillo fan club showing up on the road, I was actually caught off guard by how many of them turned out. For their usual standards, it was a solid showing—especially considering they've been stuck in some kind of minor slump for the last couple of seasons.

Peace

Come back to us when you're ready. Bye.

It’s not about the players; it’s about how the fan base is structured.
It’s the exact same pattern we saw back in the day here.

Look at the facts. A few days ago, there were 1,500 people at the cup match and the atmosphere was absolute garbage.
Then they claim the energy sucked because the turnout was low.
In the penultimate derby, the hardcore supporters absolutely dominated the stands, but suddenly everyone complained because the section was filled with casual fans who didn't know how to cheer.
Now the north end is packed again, and once more, people are complaining it isn't good enough.

The issue isn't attendance.
The real problem is the lack of effort put into educating the fans.
Think about how much time it took for the pros to fix the mess on the north side—cleaning up those ridiculous manifestos, the "voice of the stands" nonsense, distributing flyers before games, and organizing public supporter sections.
They’ve gone quiet on all of that lately. They need to wake up because their influence is slipping.
If they don't, they might end up facing a massive collapse like our 2000 season.

Later.
