Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes 2m #Blazers, Pres Chris McGowan & new corporate partner will make major announcement about future of RG/RQ campus at press conference tomorrow. They used to be cool maaaaaan.
The Blazers sold out years ago when they created Blaze. I used to be so proud of our team for not having some cheesy mascot. What exactly a cat has to do with the Portland Trail Blazers is beyond me. I hate mascots.
I don't get the hate behind this? It's an opportunity for an owner to make some cash, and it's better this than them moving or raising ticket prices. if the fucking Boston Garden can get a corporate sponsorship, so can the Rose Garden.
I would be shocked if it's not MODA. I think Ropp got word of it, and they were just crossing I's and dotting T's
Always hated Blaze. there were a lot of other things on trail rides they could have had as a mascot. People dying of exposure, slaves, etc
That's a result of a team moving. Vancouver BC has Grizzlies. The worst one is the Jazz or the Lakers. Even the Pelicans are better than those. At least the friggin bird is from NOLA...
That would be sick. But there's prob too much red tape and conflicting interests with other teams and apparel to make it happen.
