    The appeal of "Rose City" instead of "Portland"? Help me out...

    Unique. Prettier. Rolls off the tongue well if combined with the proper team name.

    Unique--yes, I acknowledged that.
    Prettier--Umm, OK, I guess. Wanting your sports team name to be "pretty" is a matter of personal preference, I guess. Not a benefit for me.
    Rolls off the tongue--I'm still waiting for the team name that would couple with "Rose City" that sounds better than "Portland Pioneers" (my fave so far). Haven't heard one yet (Not personally a fan of "Rose City Reign").

    I think it makes an otherwise lame name more unique and cool. They could incorporate roses into the home run area and logos and things like that.

    Portland Mavericks sound better as Rose City Mavericks, in my opinion.To your point we could be the Beaver State Mavericks, lmao. That would incorporate the past history of the Mavericks and Beavers, ha ha.

    I say no to the Reign. That is Seattle's Women's professional soccer teams name. I would prefer not copying anything from Seattle.

    OK--this one I agree with. I've not been a fan of "Mavericks" all along, but I could probably get down with "Rose City Mavericks".

    You've won me over, tentatively.

    That's the one downside to that name, I agree. I understand the whole "connecting with history" aspect of it, but I agree with you that I would prefer a name that doesn't exist in US major league sports. However it's not a total deal-breaker for me.

    We definitely should NOT take a name that another franchise has, regardless of the sport.

    I agree, I was just using it as an example for how a generic name like Mavericks can sound more unique. My earlier point is that the Oakland Warriors would've been a very bland name but Golden State Warriors makes it sound original.
