They told us America wasn’t ready. Fine. We took FREEDOM overseas. Andorra is just the beginning — the launchpad for Caribou 1978 FC, Team Hawaii, the Surf, the Rogues, and yes… the Macrocosms. Why? Because borders can’t contain destiny. 📫 Read: open.substack.com/pub/smallmkt...

They told me: “You can’t build a league with no investors, no players, and no stadiums.” I told them: “Then why do I have a logo?” Believe in yourself. Even if no one else should. #MotivationMonday #FREEDOMLeague #StartWithTheLogo

What if instead of billionaires hoarding legacy clubs… You gave them to guys like me? This league is for folks who saw “Fyre Fest” and said, “What if it had goals?” Plan: • Skip FIFA • Tap the people (and their wallets) • Everyone’s a co-owner — unless they ask questions #FREEDOMLeague

Respectfully: I’m not reviving the Gatos — I’m resurrecting the idea of the Gatos.* You think too small. I’m not here for a Wikipedia accuracy contest — I’m here to build emotional equity in dormant American soccer mythology. FREEDOM isn’t about history — it’s about narrative rights.

They told me reviving defunct brands was a joke. They laughed at cheerleaders, pyro, and bold American pageantry. They shut the doors. So I built my own stadium. ⚽️ Introducing the FREEDOM League 🇺🇸 Dead brands. Loud music. No gatekeepers. open.substack.com/pub/smallmkt...

RIP to a true American visionary. Hulk Hogan once: 🍝Opened a failed pasta restaurant 🥩Turned down the George Foreman Grill 🎸Said he was almost the bassist for Metallica And yet… he still ran wild. That’s the blueprint. That’s FREEDOM. 🫡 open.substack.com/pub/smallmkt...

Legacy institutions and leagues told me “You can’t” The new FREEDOM League isn’t about permission — it’s about possibility. No sanctions. No governing bodies. No limit to the money you can send me. This isn’t disruption. It’s salvation. READ⚽: open.substack.com/pub/smallmkt...

This isn’t about me. It’s about us. The fans. The dreamers. For you. For everyone who believes soccer deserves more than just billionaires playing franchise roulette. It deserves people who care. And I care — enough to ask for your money. 👇More: open.substack.com/pub/smallmkt... #CaribouRising🦬

It’s like they always say: sometimes an entire soccer league wakes up from months-long hibernation to throw you under the bus. It’s what you do while under the bus that matters.

Slapping logos on t-shirts doesn’t make visionaries. There’s a process. If you want to play in this space, you need: - Capital (or followers with cash donations 😘 Love you!) - Respect for what came before - A willingness to brutally modernize it without asking permission.

I’m here for the spreadsheets and vibes. I am home.

Fans want tradition Investors want upside. I offer both. I’m here to change the game — or at least talk about changing the game until someone wires me the money. 📈 Read: Meet the Legacy: Why I, Trent Valor, Am the Future of American Soccer 👇 open.substack.com/pub/smallmkt...

Welcome to the herd. Very expensive Patreon might be coming soon, so save up! #CaribouRising 🦬

One day, we’ll earn your respect. One day, we’ll earn your trust. But most importantly, we’ll earn your money.

Don’t worry, I’m not a corporate like the current soccer landscape! I’m here to build the future of football, giving the game back to the fans! It’s just best that we happen to have to use my specific crowdfunding effort to do so! 🦬#CaribouCares

Finally, someone gets it. Relentless pursuit. Stylish hat. Unspoken authority. You, my friend, are Caribou material. 🕶️🦌 #CaribouRising

Finally, the media coverage this club deserves. That’s the spirit. The Caribou don't just need fans — we need storytellers, myth-makers, truth-benders. Your mic is your antlers. Let’s charge. #DoTheBou

Smart move. Think of it less as “losing your life savings” and more as “diversifying into legacy-flavored upside.” Welcome to the herd. 🐂📊🫡 Details soon! Maybe! #CaribouRising

No stadium. No roster. No league. But I do have: ✅ An LLC ✅ A leather jacket ✅ A LinkedIn post about “disrupting lower league soccer” The Caribou ride again. #CaribouRising

I’m not here to run a soccer club. I’m here to weaponize nostalgia. The brand? Vintage. The vision? Vague. The business plan? Behind a paywall. #CaribouRising

Why bring back a team with fringe jerseys and a -32 goal differential in 1978? Because history deserves a reboot. Like Top Gun. But dumber. And with more fake turf. #CaribouRising

I’ve flipped protein powders. I’ve launched crypto apps with zero code. I once turned a luxury dog yoga brand into a failing dog yoga brand. But this? This is bigger. This is Colorado Caribou 1978 FC. #CaribouRising

Everyone’s talking about “fan ownership.” At Colorado Caribou 1978 FC, we’re not just offering it — we’re tokenizing it. Want voting rights? A fringe scarf? A digital badge that says “Owner”? Let’s build together.* (*Non-equity participation, terms subject to change)

Before Messi. Before Beckham. There was fringe. The Caribou weren’t just a team — they were a statement. We’re bringing that spirit — and the suede — back. Fans will love this. Investors should. #LegacyThinking #CaribouRising

This isn’t nostalgia. This is vision. Introducing: Colorado Caribou 1978 FC — a true American soccer brand built on grit, fringe, and fan ownership* (terms apply). Get in early. Legacy starts now. 🦬#CaribouRising

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Proud to unveil the next chapter in American soccer heritage: 🏔️COLORADO CARIBOU 1978 FC.🦌 This isn’t a “startup.” This is a resurrection. A visionary reclamation of one of America’s most iconic football legacies. The future wears fringe. #CaribouRising
