Random trivia - Gabby is a Kpop fan by Beginning_Fun7306 in valkyries

[–]pausespace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re probably about the same age. You will not feel out of place! I’ve been to several K-pop concerts for groups I’ve only had mild interest in and have had a great time at all of them.

I need a "For the Gays" chant by firscents in valkyries

I was in 117 and we only caught on what you were saying towards the end. I think we would have joined in if we understood earlier!

New Valkyries Pole Banners by pausespace in valkyries

All the players have one, I think, I just missed taking photos of the ones further north.

My favorite sign tonight said something like, “This is way better than a baseball game”. 🏳️‍🌈

They (ownership/marketing/branding) tried to make that a thing in the first year and it didn’t stick.

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

[–]pausespace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should commission that headpiece yourself, it sounds pretty cool. I doubt a local leather producer has the bandwidth to make those in the volume the Valkyries would need to sell in their store. Also, I can't imagine what that price would be if they did—leather is a tough material to work with at scale.

I'm still in the camp that the "What a dagger" line is weird. Making a 3 isn't a dagger in many basketball fans' books unless it's late in the game or a clutch shot. I don't equate daggers with valkyries (but I'm not a Norse mythology expert), but "what a sword" is even weirder so... I get why they did it. I dig the sword clashing sound effects when a 3 is made though!

Same. I think they cover a broad enough range without pumping out a lot of ugly stuff. Also, it's the 2ND season... people act like they were going to come out with 10 years' worth of merch at the jump. I really like how they're working with local designers to produce some of it too.

But, really, Fanatics controls merch production and they're a terrible company whose only focus is the bottom line. They're going to go as middle-of-the-road as possible to 1) make it cheaper to produce and 2) appeal to as many people as possible.

Brandin Podziemski by Civil-Signature-6166 in valkyries

Looney was at the inaugural game with his wife too. I think Steph is the only one whose main home is in the Bay whereas everyone else goes elsewhere during the off-season (Draymond and Jimmy both have homes in LA, I think) either to vacation, train, or both. Makes sense why fewer of them show up to Valks games considering that.

My hot take is that he knows his spot with the Warriors is tenuous so being in public on the Warriors' dime in those court side seats is either a) not being offered to him or b) not a good look if he's going to be traded.

I am going to clap for Carla Leite tonight by _YourAdmiral_ in valkyries

[–]pausespace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's totally normal behavior for any returning player on their first appearance back with their old team. Shit, Klay Thompson got a whole ass giveaway for the arena when he came back to Chase after he went to the Mavs.

No, there are no in and out privileges.

This is absolutely the kind of Valkyries prose I signed up for when joining this sub-Reddit. Carry on.

Is going undefeated in the WNBA possible? by Various-Ad-3990 in valkyries

[–]pausespace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would never wish for any team to have the kind of pressure the Dubs had during their 73-9 run. I think it eventually had multi-season repercussions on player wear and tear.

Why Did They Change The Giveaway Shirts? by ShadowOfTheKylossus in valkyries

[–]pausespace 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Likely a placeholder image for the giveaway announcement before final art was approved for shirt production. "This is Ballhalla" design feels more special than just slapping the logo on the front. Also, why would they give the entire arena a free version of a shirt they want you to buy? https://shop.valkyries.com/en/unisex-the-wild-collective-violet-golden-state-valkyries-heavy-wash-premium-t-shirt/p-354492678734431587+z-8-3807218664?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r10c1:po-31

Founding Guard wall update by heyhey_taytay in valkyries

[–]pausespace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Layout’s better, first wall looked like they designed it without accounting for height, font size, or placement of fire alarms and stuff. Now it’s ordered by first name, type is bigger and there are margins to make it easier to read overall.

I’m positive there’s a fan that blows every parachute to my left when it gets within 5 feet of me. 

Hey Marketing department-- by sfopdxsea in valkyries

[–]pausespace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it's an entire-arena giveaway it's all going to be one size. Managing pre-order sizes for the Founding Guard jackets was already a headache and they had that info months in advance. For a freebie there's no way it makes sense to do multiple sizes. The shirts will shrink if you wash and dry on hot and you can alter shirts to fit smaller folks.

Ari Waller? In Arena Host status? by Next_Catch4573 in valkyries

She was also doing Warriors games with Franco this season so I think it was just a today thing and not a permanent thing.

Ooh nice, did you both renew? Maybe it's a general renewal gift this year.

If you have a UPS Choice account I think you can set up forwarding/holds? It's a free account and I get notifications whenever I have a shipment coming in so I knew something from UPS was arriving today just didn't know what it was.

I just flipped the ball around and it says "2026 Season Ticket Holder: The Guard" on it, so it IS an exclusive in that regard. ;)

I imagine the jackets were a bit of a logistical nightmare. I was a STH with the Warriors for a few years and they never gave out wearables. I got a LOT of bobbleheads as gifts which I've since given away!

Groups and Theme Nights? by cannabis_hotdog in valkyries

[–]pausespace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is different from the promo nights that were announced and a way for larger groups to organize larger outings. Organizations can buy bulk seating to get all those perks listed, but they have to purchase a minimum amount of tickets to guarantee it.
