    You're just angling for The "Portland Panic", aren't you?

    Reach deeper into history - Portland Webfoots! Ain't nobody in pro sports with that name!
    And given the placement of the proposed park, we could also reach into our history and name it Vaughn Street Park (or just Vaughn Park since it won't be directly on Vaughn St.).

    I would prefer Portland or Oregon over Rose City. Rose City sounds like some bowling team name ora women's stitch and bitch group.

    I still like Orcas

    Oregon or Portland Orcas

    Mascot would be cool. History is there with migration and Keiko

    Mascot could be named Willie or Keiko

    There aren't Orcas within 100 miles from PTown.

    I would really love to see the Orcas with Native American art as the logo, but the Canucks already do that, and people would bitch about cultural appropriation.

    I get that.

    Portland Mavericks was, and is, a great name. Dallas didn't become the Mavericks until the year after the Portland Mavericks folded.

    Fuck those Texas fuckers.

    That's not bad, actually.

    Appeals to the important child demographic as well.

    I like the Mavericks. Kind of a companion name to the Trail Blazers. It works. Not fancy but very Portland since it's from a past team.
