    It's the best name on sports IMHO.

    It's the epitome of American names.

    Well we could be the Oregon 59ers.

    I know some of you will want 69ers but the state was established in 1859 so i guess either will do?

    At any rate i believe the team should be Oregon's team and not just Portland.

    I actually like the 59ers, because it does have a bit of history in its name. I think someone has suggested Portland Chinook, and in a way I like that as an option.

    They could go the route of the NFL team in Houston and call them selves the "Portland Oregonians".

    but that'd be lame. hehe

    If your team name would make for a good bowling league team name....well, you might want to rethink it.

    I would hate a name that didn't end in a S or S sound

    Yes, because the Brewers doesn't sound like something a group of middle-aged, slightly overweight, beer drinking men wouldn't think to name their bowling league team.

    Sure.

    Never said that there aren't dumb names for pro sports teams. Brewers, Raptors, Pelicans, Thunder, Sounders, Galaxy..those are all names that are kind of dumb.

    Brewers makes all kinds of sense

    Pelican is the state bird of Louisiana

    Sounders is after the Puget sound

    Thunder makes sense with OKC in tornado alley

    Reign makes sense since it rains here a lot. Still a dumbass name.

    Meadowlark makes sense since it's the state bird. Still a dumbass name.

    Cascades makes sense since we're near the cascades. Still a dumbass name.

    Storm make sense since it storms here (at least during the off season). Still a dumbass name.
