    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.

    Maybe the corporate partner is actually the nhl and we're getting a team? :MARIS61:

    We should have stole the Sasquatch from Seattle.

    I think it's hilarious that Memphis has a "Grizzly" mascot.

    I have visited that garden many times, and even stood in line to fertilize it with the others

    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

    Personally, I don't care about the naming rights. But that damn Blaze.....

    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 would be ideal.

    But I must admit NikeTown has a nice ring to it.

    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...

    Whatever else it is, it is an all-time new low for the team that Larry and Stu built.

    That would be sick. But there's prob too much red tape and conflicting interests with other teams and apparel to make it happen.
