I guess I need to know which is which:
Catchphrase = ?
Slogan = ?
Motto = ?
Cheer = ?
Chant = ?
Official Tree = ?
It's a catch phrase that is used as a chant during a game. However it is used as a catch phrase outside the game when its put on posters or flags, shirts, etc.
The basic definition for what a catch phrase is tells you Go Spurs Go is a catch phrase.
Yes, not change the catch phrase of this team.Whatever you want to call it. Get back to how the PR department hasn't done anything in eight years.
Could you define the other ones for me.
Thanks.
So you think if they put up a new banner, Spurs fans will stop chanting Go Spurs Go.
Suns fans haven't stopped chanting Go Suns Go since I was a kid.
Thanks. My MBA in Business Marketing didn't teach me anything. So I'm glad you are here to educate.
I don't know what would happen if Go Spurs Go was changed/gotten rid of but at least make an attempt at not settling.

I don't buy this matchup BS.
What great intrastate must-see rivalry did teams like the 2004 Grizzlies bring to the table that draw Spurs fans to the arena? I don't think people realize that it's never been anything close to like this during the playoffs. There were never 20 seats in a row that can be bought after like 48-72 hours of playoff tickets being on sale.
This is way beyond anything we've seen as Spurs fans. Yeah the Jazz aren't the Lakers, but the Spurs have easily sold out games versus the Grizzlies, pre-AI Nuggets, Blazers, etc. The Spurs also never had problems selling out the Dome for playoff games against the Jazz when the Spurs would get steamrolled back in the '90s.
And there's no advertising campaign the Spurs can launch to sell WCF tickets. Are you going to have the coyote run around the Dominion telling people tickets are available? Anything more than that and it makes more financial sense to just give the tickets away.
This is the WCF. It could be held in a gym on the southside with no air condition and $10 bud lights and $8 taquitos, and it should have still sold out. Blaming the Spurs because their fan base is getting worse and worse doesn't make much sense to me.
Sure, it could be cheaper or whatever but the prices haven't changed enough over the years for money to be the issue.
It's either Spurs fans suck, Spurs fans are lazy, this market sucks for pro sports or Spurs fans don't care.
I'm not sure which direction I lean.
Most of the banners, signage, t-shirts, etc. say Get Ready. Get Loud. I'm not sure if you know that because on your own admittance you haven't been to a game in five years. But it's not like the Spurs themselves are just marketing Go Spurs Go.
So now the Spurs would be selling out WCF tickets if the crowd didn't chant Go Spurs Go?
Interesting.
Catch Phrase -
a phrase, as a slogan, that comes to be widely and repeatedly used
That's Go Spurs Go!
Motto -
a sentence, phrase, or word expressing the spirit or purpose of a person, organization, city
That is Get Ready. Get Loud, One Team. One Goal. etc.
Did I say that LJ? You know I didn't, but you wanted to be cute.
I said the PR or advertising has nothing to do with this non-sell or anything. I said the PR of the Spurs was one of the worst in the NBA.
I guess what you aren't understanding is that the Spurs promote Get Ready. Get Loud. more than they promote Go Spurs Go, whichever one you want to call a catchphase doesn't matter.
(Just so you know, a catchphrase can be a motto and a motto can be a catchphrase)
How do you know they are the worst in the NBA. Have you been involved with the PR of other teams?
Okay then if Go Spurs Go doesn't matter that doesn't help us solve the problem of why San Antonio sucks.
Any ideas to actually sell tickets?
It's my opinion. I think they're one of the worst in the NBA.
There is no rule of measurement, nor grading system for a PR department when it comes to whether they pass or fail.
Which is the best?
What is their catchphrase and motto and chant?
But you'd have to have some knowledge of other teams PR departments to conclude that. So what criteria did you use and which other teams have you accessed?
Yeah, one game doesn't sell out by 300 and things need to be fixed? The world is suddenly without gravity? You as well as many others are looking for something to criticize for the sake of criticizing. For the sake of being cynical.
Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, Suns.
And Seattle is better because....
....they're moving out of Seattle?
See, I only know about a couple teams PR departments.
Seattle last season tried to giveaway some of these to fans last season.
But they were of Desmond Mason.
He hasn't been on the Sonics since 02-03.
Now that's an example of a bad PR department.
From simple things like websites to things like handing out the jersey of a suspended player to handing out shirts to color coordinate the entire arena.
Uh there are still 1000 tickets available to a playoff game that went on sale 64 hours ago. When tickets that usually sell out in a matter of minutes are still available nearly three days later, then yes there is a problem.
San Antonio is laying an egg of epic proportions. Do you know how many cities would kill for an NBA team half as successful as the Spurs have been? Even if it means drinking beer at home and riding the bus to a game if you need to keep the pocket change.
No team has done that. You are speaking of rich season ticket holders who buy bulk jerseys and give them away.
If you don't know, ya betta ax somebody.
And that's neither a catch phrase nor a slogan.
So why isn't the Cavs Piston game 2 sold out yet? It has Lebron!!
Epic proportions? Do the Spurs have you on the pay roll?San Antonio is laying an egg of epic proportions. Do you know how many cities would kill for an NBA team half as successful as the Spurs have been?
So because one game didn't sell out the franchise is in desperate times?
For christ sakes, you and about how much Holt makes in SA with this team and spends very little but the fans don't buy 300 tickets the team can't survive.
No one is saying it's a desperate time.
But it's embarrassing to have every national media outlet talking about how the Spurs can't sell out.
The only playoff games of a decent team I can remember not selling out is New Jersey -- what is happening with them again?
Didn't someone just mention the Mavs and their dip owner having to buy remaining tickets of a playoff game? What's happening with them again?
I guess Spurs fans like The Writer will get it when the St. Louis Spurs make the Western Conference Finals and sell out their games within seconds in the year 2015.
Bravo, keep going.
They will.Bravo, keep going.
1. I didn't see that, do you have a link?
2. Doesn't Dallas have such a great PR department that they don't have to resort to such measures?
I'm sure. This week of course. Next week who knows what zany thing you'll write about. We can only sit and wait in anticipation.They will.
S-P-U-R-S Spurs! Spurs! Spurs! could be the answer. . .
It's in this thread so you can click on the numbers.
So when did I say the PR has or had anything to do with the non-sellout?2. Doesn't Dallas have such a great PR department that they don't have to resort to such measures?
Oh that's right, I didn't. I just made an off the topic comment about disliking the current Spurs PR.
Didn't correlate it with anything.
S, P, U-R-S! That's the way we spell success! Spurs!
So you can give me the number to click on.So attendance has no correlation to PR.So when did I say the PR has or had anything to do with the non-sellout?
Oh that's right, I didn't. I just made an off the topic comment about disliking the current Spurs PR.
Didn't correlate it with anything.
What about the mottos?
I could care less what effect the catch phrases or mottos have on attendance. My beef isn't with attendance, my beef is with the PR department, I dislike how content they've become.
And their contentedness has the effect of what?
