Hi Guys

Anyone notice the DeRo picture here being taken on Saturday? We planned on giving it to him after the game. Unfortunately someone thought they deserved it more.

If I were DeRo, I would steal it and put it up in my house for a lark.

I know it sucks, those banners were amazing. How much would it cost to replace?

that sucks. they looked fantastic.

i know several people were shocked when i was asking for RPB flags on the way out, some people even actively tried to hide the fact that they were trying to take them. anyone have any thoughts on how to stop shit like this from happening?

Don't think they can be easily replaced. We had a friend print them at his place of work. Not sure he could get away with it again.

Unfortunately, I don't know that there is much you can do. Consider that fact that we hand them out at Joe's to whoever wants one, which means that people all around the stadium have them. We'll never get them all back. Also, people may actually be bringing their own.

Pathetic. Some people are simply pathetic.
I don't know who took it but I truly hope he/she comes clean.

Love this picture though! That's me reaching out and looking for some man love from Oso.

Sigh....disgusting. But can you say you're surprised? Out of 20,000 people there are bound to be a few bad apples around. I would be curious as to what goes on in that persons mind while taking a banner. "Hmm....this looks nice, it's just hanging here....this will look great at my place!" :facepalm:

Wasn't there an issue one game with a banner......I can't remember if it was a TFC game or a CanMNT match.....? Some people just are goofs.

We had one issue in the stands... Our Original RPB banner was stolen. Now, that was years ago. Maswary from NEE found it hanging out of a McMaster Student House balcony in Hamilton... He went in and took it right back for us.

Some banners also went "missing/lost" while in storage at BMO Field

@ Belfast_Boy

Sorry to hear man.

I have seen the banners, they looked really good.

You guys did a great job with the Tifo Banner at the start of the game.

I kept the one that was given to me last year. Got it signed by Frie, and bring it with me to every game and march now.

If you guys want it back let me know.

2 guys who I sit with have 1 each also.

We're flying them in 119

I was going to say the same thing, but maybe I'll take your signed Frei flag ;)

Sucks man, those banners looked great.


I thought maybe we should hang those up every game, at least for a while!

those banners looked AMAZING, I hope they got some tv time.
Osorio was gushing a bit when he came over.
They'll never be found. . . but hey. .
someone has a ncie addition to their TFC room at home.

Wont stop me from bringing artwork to BMO.

i'd feel better if this was the case, but knowing the type of person who would do this it probably ended up in the trash, or crumpled into a heap and thrown into the corner of someones closet. that's what gets me about the whole thing, the canada banner too.

BTW what was the tifo in 111? I couldn't tell as it was going over my head. Anyone have a picture? I checked the broadcast but you can't really see it.

it wasn't up for that long, but there might be a few floating around.
instead of being held people crowd surfed it over their heads at an impressive speed.

it was a ninja that said "all signs point to victory"
