PrintI think it might be time to change the whole "all of the basketball, with none of the brand" tagline. I think we're all pretty separated from the whole Elton saga, and honestly I just prefer not to be reminded of it every time I check clipsnation, which is somewhere between 57 and 300 times daily. I have a couple of ideas for a new tagline...
1) The L.A. Clippers: They might not always be good, but they will always take your chain.
2) The L.A. Clippers: Home of Chris Kaman, the black Jesus Christ.
3) Clipsnation: Where the illegitimate children of Loy Vaught and Eric Piatkowski come to play.
4) Clippers Basketball: Come for the Lottery Picks, Stay for the Hypertension.
5) Clipsnation: Next Year is Always Our Year.
6) What does John Hollinger know about basketball anyways?
7) Clipsnation: Chris Kaman is ambidextrous. AMBIDEXTROUS!
8) Clipsnation: Home of the Eric Gordon Thizzface.
9) The L.A. Clippers: So Many Homies, Just One Basketball.
10) Clipsnation: Brian Skinner will eat all of you haters.
11) The Clippers: Harder than the Wu-Tang Clan.
12) When the Clippers win the Championship, I will be wearing Clippers Championship apparel for the rest of my life.
Thanks for all your fantastic work. They should retire Brian Skinners jersey. They actually should retire Sam Cassell's Jersey. Cherokee Parks.

It aint easy...
Your 4 & 5 aren’t too bad, but I’m not sure they’re good enough to justify changing it. I would 2nd the point that I wouldn’t mind a new slogan…
Little known fact
“Cherokee Parks.” is actually a complete sentence and conveys more complex thoughts and emotions than many poems.
Also we need more Kaman fanfiction please.
Lets get nautical here since it is the team name and all: Sailing the rough waters through the Cape of No Hope to the Blake Griffin Strait in search of Boom Dizzle.

If I could have a Clips Nation sig only
That last line would be it. Very nice John R.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Just thought of a couple
Clippers:who needs championship rings
Clippers: What post season?
Clippers: There is another team in LA?
In Gordon we trust
Yo KamanHomie
Your point is well taken. It is time to move beyond Brand-based angst. (Although, I must say that the Generic thing was always a favorite of mine. I’m a little too proud of it perhaps.)
Should we use this thread to take nominations? Have a contest perhaps? Goodness knows there’s little else to talk about for the next month and a half.

Maybe bump this thread to front page
then ask people to give there best ideas, then put the best of the best in a poll and whichever gets the most votes becomes the new headline
In Gordon we trust
I'm with it!!! let's do it!!
KamanHomie! good post! I always wondered about that as well!! #5 is HOTTTT!! that’s what we say every year!!

How about something more optimistic
And with a lot of exclamation points:
Clips Nation – BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love number 10
that just killed me.
If he was still on the team I think it would be perfect.
Funny post man.
How about
“Clips Nation – Home of the Sloppy Seconds”

How about
Clips Nation, where amazing almost happened once.
or maybe
Clips Nation: Blowing up Anterior cruciate Lingaments in Los Angeles since 1984
How about
Clips Nation: Where “amazing happens” against us.
Mike Smith on Eric Gordon: "The Clippers may have found their go to scorer."
On a second note, I want Novak back!
Probably my favorite so far-
“Where Amazing Almost Happened Once”. I had a hearty chuckle when I read that.
How About...
Championship?… we have the lottery!
or (this is what I always tell my “Why do you like the Clippers?” friends)
“When we win the NBA Championship, it will be that much SWEETER!”
Not bad! (=
Mike Smith on Eric Gordon: "The Clippers may have found their go to scorer."
On a second note, I want Novak back!
Clips Nation: Not cursed, just ship out of luck.
Clips Nation: Who needs a compass when you’ve got trade winds.
Clips Nation: Between grief or nothing, we’ll take grief.
Clips Nation: Dulce et decorum ut lottery lucror (It is sweet and proper to have won the lottery).
Latin!
Carpe the effing diem!

Clips Nation: Where Dumbleavy Happens
Clips Nation: Where banners fill our rafters, just not ours.
Clips Nation: Where great college players forget how to play.
Clips Nation: The training grounds for ( other teams ) super stars.
Clips Nation: Where anguish happens
Clips Nation: Where Mark Madson dances at halftime.
Clips Nation: We know we suck, but who cares
Clips Nation: Home of the red, white & black & Blue
Clips Nation: Where theres always next year

Clips Nation: Champions of the bottom line

This site definitely needs a new slogan...
The FElton thing is getting old. I’m not much for ideas, but I like what some of the people have posted. I like number 12 because of the truth behind it. If the Clippers win a championship in my lifetime, the t-shirt is NEVER coming off.

I love everything about this fanpost
I love the content.
I love fact that Clipper Homie’s profile picture is Brian Skinner.
I love that the post is titled “Yo, Mr. Perrin.”
I think after this is all done me and this fanpost should get an apartment together.
Thanks for the responses homies!
I’m glad to get some backing. Some of the responses have been really good too. It is clear to me, however, that mwhite06 is the coolest person here. His affection for Brian Skinner humor is something to be admired. I was also thinking about:
ClipsNation: If you’re still laughing at Clipper Darrel’s material, you’re not a true Clipper fan.
Yay yay.
