How long have you supported the Rapids?

I'm a born and raised Colorado native. I can't say that I've been heavily involved the team until like the past 10 to 15 years, but I always did like to catch games whenever they were on Altitude. Growing up, like they were just always like, a part of my life but I didn't really become like a massive supporter until 10 to 15 years ago, between MLS Cup in 2010 and Tim Howard arriving in 2016.

Since joining the fan base, what has been your favorite memory of the team?

For me, it's between two. It's between either the freezing Snow Clásico against Portland or probably Best in the West in 2021 Just that whole phenomenal season and the payoff at the very end of waiting around with the rest of one second team and be variate just trying to figure out like it's gone. weigh in

Who is your favorite player, current or former, to watch and what made you a fan of them?

There's so many of them but like I have to go with Drew Moor. Having just grown up watching him and seeing that story unfold with him lifting MLS Cup with us and then getting to become an All-Star playing, playing at DSGP for that All-Star game, seeing him go to Toronto and then come back to finish his career off with us. Absolute club legend and one of the most down to earth people that I've never met and easily still one of my favorite players. I think one of my first jerseys was a Drew Moor jersey. 

What makes C38 unique as a supporters' group?

I think the other thing that sets us apart is that we're a very loyal, very supportive, passionate fanbase. I know like a lot of  groups say that, but through thick and thin we hold that through and we're willing to be out there, we're willing to cheer on the team, are willing to just stand our ground for both the players and the staff on the team. So I think that like there's a lot of other teams that have good support as well I think it's very wishy washy. We've been through a lot of tough times, we've been through the thick and thin. We know coming out on the other side of it like that we are true, loyal fans that bleed Burgundy & Blue. 

What is your favorite piece from the new line?

The cream and burgundy short sleeve shirt. But I love the cream with the burgundy, I didn't think those meshed well until I saw. I love the scarf design, and I'll probably will pick up a beanie at some point, too.
