OK, so this one seems obvious, right? After a year where the Rapids drew a league-worst four games, the team is going to need to scrape a point out of quite a few more games this year. Well, you would think it would have seemed obvious last year as well, but there we were, sitting… Continue reading Ten Keys To 2013 – No. 5: Draws

Now, there are plenty of criticisms for that new kit that make perfect sense: a lot of people don't like the amount of yellow piping compared to the small amount of red. The crest being in red wigged a few people out. Some people think that the C on the front should be colored in.… Continue reading The Most Hilarious Reactions To The New Rapids Kit On Facebook

Yesterday we got plenty of hubbub after we saw the new Rapids away jerseys — we'll see the entire kit later today at the party at LoDo's! — but there was one thing missing from it that, again, we had heard plenty of rumors for: a jersey sponsor. There had been rumors of a few… Continue reading Western Union To Be A Rapids Sponsor (Though Not Jersey Sponsor!)

We've been waiting for our new away kit for a while, and we had nothing but a small look at it until today, when 9News gave a full view of the new jersey during their 4 p.m. broadcast. It wasn't the smoothest of events — at one point the reporter accidentally referred to the Rapids… Continue reading 9News (Right After The Terrace Blog) Reveals New Rapids Away Jersey

(Apologies that this is a day late!) And oh lord, we need him to be a big starter this season. The Rapids defense gave up 50 goals last year, and just about everyone on the defense looked lost during points of the season. Marvell Wynne especially got punished for his lack of shutdown defensive ability… Continue reading Ten Keys To 2013 – No. 7: Diego Calderon

I hear he dislikes guns and freedom or something? I don't know. What I do know is that the guy loves him some Gunners, and gets… Continue reading Piers Morgan: Arsenal Fan, Professional Jackass

Once again on Friday evening, the United States Men's National U-20 Team won a game that they didn't particularly inspire much confidence in. Once again, Dillon Serna was invited into the 18 but didn't see any minutes on the pitch.

Of course, there's a payoff for getting nothing but young guns on your team. (The Colorado Avalanche fans among us will know this one by heart from the past few years.) You get a lot more vibrancy and stamina, plus plenty of room for growth. However, you also get a lot less experience on the… Continue reading Ten Keys To 2013 – No. 8: Veteran Presence

Do you have ESPN? Do you enjoy watching the Colorado Rapids on ESPN? Well, that's too bad. ESPN will be showing 19 games on the network in 2013, and exactly zero of them will involve the Rapids. Despite not being shown on Bristol's finest, the Rapids will still be on national TV a couple of… Continue reading ESPN Does Not Like The Rapids, Will Not Show Them In 2013
