Alright everyone, a billboard on rt 280 in Harrison will be available on February 23rd and a 4 week rent of the space will run at ~$3200 at a highly discounted rate thanks to one of the fans here (redbullandvodka).  That period includes the first home game vs dc scum.

 

This is the location of the billboard: https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink

 

I am willing to head this but could really use some help at setting up a fundraising site.

 

At the moment I am unsure what exactly we want to display on the billboard so please help with ideas, some include revenge is coming theme, a simple thank you to petke, a diss on ali curtis and a message to the owners in austria.

 

I could just set something up hastily but I was hoping to publish something polished to reach a wider audience and perhaps have the billboard up for a longer time.

 

Anyone with experience with crowdfunding or just someone who can write up nicely the reasons we are doing this please post here, or pm me.

 

If someone else is working on something like this as well let's combine forces and make this huge. We raised about $2000 to pay for Petke's MLS fine few years ago and I know we can do this too.

 

Since I do not have Facebook or other social media please share this thread with your friends and other fans there.

 

The campaign is LIVE and can be seen here, but it is still open for editing and changes.

Keep it simple:

 

Red Bull:  Sell The Team

Or: FIRE ALI CURTIS

 

Pledging $30 right now.

 

Edit: Make it 50 to match the guys below.

Agreed on keeping it simple. Can't help with the site unfortunately.

Billboard cannot just say "Fire Ali Curtis" though as no one will know who he is.

Something like "Crime of the Century.... Revenge is Coming" and "Red Bull Out."

 

I'll pledge, too.

I'll put $100 on the right design. I'm open to being involved in that process as well.

Count me down for $100.   I need to donate more money to good causes this year anyway.  This is certainly a good one.

For someone better at art than me, I was thinking:

 

[ny red bulls logo] commit Crime of the Century

In Petke We Trust (the letter "I" is Petke holding the shield)

 

Then in bottom right corner people can throw in a Red Bull Out if they really feel like it, but the first two lines are what I care about.  Show Petke some love  but let the club know they f**ed up

 

Also willing to put $100 for the right design

It will be fixed and go live shortly, I thought the draft could be visible to the public with a direct link, but I guess not.

Why not use this:

Personally, I want to see something that states #RedBullOut or something similar, and someone should absolutely start a social media campain with that hashtag, I nominate Penn State weatherman .  I would not be surprised if you got soccer fans from all over the country to contribute and meet your goal in no time.  And yes, I would contribute as well.
