I don't get the complaints... the scarf is the exact same quality of every ESC scarf I've gotten - feels great. Are you guys first year season ticket holders? Not being facetious, but those ones from last year were absolute garbage quality compared to these. As for the patches - quality is yet to be seen. I've literally never seen a patch on a scarf before, so not sure how they'll hold up.
As for the rest of the package - if this was last year, we'd be singing RBs praises. Amado fucking Guevara front and center of the box - literally the size of the Red Bulls logo on it. Meola and Angel, the same. The ticket cards, red and black striped. The boxes, red and black, and striped on the side. The season ticket holder event last night, "metro" was dropped more times than I can count, and the entire thing was themed in Metro colors.
As much as people say this whole #RedBullOut movement is more than just Petke... if Petke was still there, everyone would be loving what they're doing right now. It's too bad, really.
I haven't received mine, so I cannot comment. However, last year's scarf from the team sucked. My ESC scarf was much better.
In regards to #RedBullOut...folks would still hate the ownership. For a lot of folks, the unexpected firing of Mike Petke (Legend) was the tipping point. If not for the tipping point, the backlash is still there, but less extreme.
These gestures are nice, but a decade too late. And many are half-baked and are only note worthy because of the complete fuckups by the team since 2006. If they treated the fanbase and history with any dignity, 3 black stripes on the inside of the collar and referencing the word Metro behind closed doors to a small group of fans is not even worthy of conversation. The biggest nod to Metro was the legend coaching us to victory, and they fucked it up. These other tokens are the front office giving you a bone, and telling you it's a steak.
Not falling for it.
