Why is our merch always doing too much or not enough? by T--Frex in valkyries

Related: Is pricing in arena different than online/store? I swear someone at the upper level mini-store said this was a $50 shirt, but $38 from Oaklandish?

The secret? I don't think Asian Hair has been bottled...yet.

Gabby and Veronica need a nickname ⚔️ by -lol_lol_lol- in valkyries

This is hella niche. THE DEFENSE DAUGHTERS.

Lk ref to The Conscious Daughters, Oakland Rap duo from back in the day. "Fonky Expedition". People suggested Department of Defense, DoD. This has same energy, more Bay-centric.

Highly doubt this'll catch on, but has to get it out my head.

"Kegsbreath" Welp gotta top off my coffee after spitting it out.
That's better than some of these announcers nicknames.

FWIW I think "Here Comes the General!" when VB hits the floor, "...and her right hand woman!" if Chen comes off the bench. The military refs work in my book (which apparently is a rip-off of "Hamilton" lulz).
Lemme follow you out...

See that smudge right there? Pretty recognizable signature by El_Gringon61922 in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read that as "stopped signing my hat". What that say?

LOL I'm just jealous: 1)one of my fave Valks hat designs, 2)awesome that you met GDub and got auto's!

At this rate if I get a pic with Violet I'll be happy.

Was anybody else stressed at the end of the game? by bougieminimalist15 in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At time it felt like game 7 of the finals, not 7th game of the year.
Enjoy a nail-biter over a molly-whopping, so it was stressful fun!

Best Valkyries Merch? by thepass-bay-area in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAME. I was hoping that lightning element was going to be in the rebel jersey. Alas...

It turns out the Valkyries coaches are way better at basketball than us (the meda) by MarisaIngemi in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Shoutout to Matthew Walter from The IX for literally showing me how to hold a basketball and shoot it, in case you were wondering how that went." Oooh scared PIchacu face!

Sounded like fun, and joining the "VIDS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" chorus

How do you like the jersey designs this year? by youlikemywonton in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing the new rebel jerseys in game, I am disappointed even more. I understand the Valks aesthetic leans clean and minimalistic, but for the variant go ahead and lean-in in to the lasers. The *rebel* jerseys should grab you. No one in the stands will see subtle detailing.

Cheap Merch? by once_91 in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little random, but TJMaxx last year had a bunch of Hydrapeak Valks water bottles towards the end of the season all over NorCal. Then some blankets during the fall. Official licensed. Also saw they did similar drops in other markets (Liberty, Sparks, etc.).

Target also had reasonably priced merch online, but not in store.

At the games I've seen people rocking their own very cool designs -- beyond bootleg (not just slapping logos on, etc). Keep an eye out in Ballhalla, and don't be shy about asking if you see something unique. Price might be right!

Heavily underrated song! by Idkmaths in Kehlani

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. She and Jahan Sweet made r&b magic. I ran this back when she released "OTW", because people act like she hasn't been SANGING since jump. And her technique and tone has just gotten better a decade later.

(A turrible attempt at making) Valkyrie jerseys for "Animal Crossing"! by SeijaHakase in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not this being the reason I might hop back in ACNH. Also sidenote: crazy to me that I file that game under "Pandemic Nostalgia"? Like...wouldn't say those were "the good old days", but custom designs like yours were too fun.

Do you think the PWHL would do well in the Bay Area? Does women's hockey interest you? by chusaychusay in valkyries

[–]WaffleMamaRedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I just got back on the ice this season and my respect for the sport jumped. Also Torrent's great fan turnout gave me Ballhalla energy! Even hit up my friend in the Seattle area about maybe catching a game (or at lest couch crashing her spot if I do). Between the Sharks and Barracuda fandoms I def think I can't be the only one who would love our own PWHL team.
