I gotta go with 'No Power in the 'Verse Can Stop Us', as Mojoman said. 'We will rise again' isn't bad, too.
Failing that:
'Browncoats: Still Flying'. (That's not much, you say? It's enough.)
or
Browncoats: We've done the impossible and that makes us mighty.
but probably not:
'Browncoats: If everything were right, we'd be in jail.'

Of course, the Trekkies will just giggle and snicker over the apparently 'naughty' word, but I'm certain someone can translate it into Klingon for them.
Hey, hey, hey...no need to get personal here!!!
Some of us of the bumpy-headed persuasion have good taste in sci-fi....and frankly, where WAS Firefly 15 years or so ago, hmmmm? We didn't have a whole lot of choice then....(and frankly, Klingons throw the best parties...besides Browncoats, of course!
)"We gotta go to that crappy town where I'M a hero..."

Here are my favorites from Serenity.
"Support your local Browncoats - Because we are so very pretty" or
"Browncoats - Too pretty to die"

As far as the slogan, I like: Browncoats: Still Flyin'
And what's with all the Trekkie-bashing? Hey I'm a Trekkie and proud of it! I'm also a Browncoat, and just as dedicated.
I think there's enough love in the 'verse for all of us, yes?

Well, in all fairness, I *used* to be a Trekkie. Latex, Fed uniform, and all. Also used to be an avid Star Wars fanatic...then came Episode II.
But Firefly is everything I want out of my Science Fiction. No aliens, battles against the odds, real characters with real problems and good "believability factor".
So I gave up Trekdom, and Star Wars has one last chance at redemption (and preliminaries do not favor it!). Of course, I will be putting my movie dollar into Serenity next year, so...
My favorite three slogans so far (with some bias!)
-Real science fiction fans wear Browncoats
-Browncoats: Dong Ma? (I picture that like a Got Milk? ad)
-Browncoats: Still flyin'!
Anyway you go, though, we've got a thousand thousand possibilities, and they are all Mighty Fine Slogans... ;)

Good, now let's here some more from the snarky, delf-depricating camp.
"Browncoats - We just don't know when to quit."

Apologies to the Trekkie crowd ... the comment was meant in good fun but was apparently in poor taste. 
I shall now whip myself senseless with uncooked gagh (sp?). 
Cheers,

"No Power in the 'Verse can stop us." and "Dong ma?" are about equally cool.
I don't really have a suggestion of my own yet.

Not sure what snarky means, hehe
Probably is more on the tongue-in-cheek-side?
How about:
Browncoats - We love to wear Fox skins
Keep flying,

Wildheaven, et alii:
I'm gonna have to go with The Man, Our Man -- Joss -- on this one:
"You can't take the sky from me", and variants like, "You can't take the sky from us", or "F*x can't take the sky from me (us)."
My sensibilities say the crux of the emotional content in the series revolved around Mal, and "Ballad of Serenity" succinctly capsulized it. Pick any line you'd like from the song/lyric poem and you'll get a proper slogan.
Like my tagline, below. That one line suggests to me that Mal's homeworld of Shadow was annihilated. The beauty of poetry -- when done well -- is to tell a story and paint a mental picture in a handful of words. Slogans are likewise an attempt to capture a complex relationship in a single snippet of words; the similarities of form seem evident.
"You can't take the sky from me" is gravid with meaning for the show, its fans and for all those who strive to make their way in life in general. For me, it's about keeping a dream alive...
Respectfully,
zoid
