    I'm with @Mediocre Man , if the name isn't Rip City Roses, they've failed as human beings.

    Rip City is the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers are Rip City.
    This WNBA team should stick with Portland _____ name.
    And the Blazers own the trademark to Rip City. So I doubt they'd let the WNBA team use it. And I agree that they shouldn't.

    Are we concerned the owners own the Kings? Should we start 47 threads about the Rose Petals/Roses/Pioneers/Dames/Platypuses moving to Stockton or Fresno?

    The WNBA exists thanks to the NBA. Would Schonz be down with it? I think so.

    Don't see why that matters in this situation. Different owners of the two teams here in Portland.

    Sac has an aggressive business community, and they very well could get MLB before Portland. SLC too.

    Portland Cat Ladies. Instead of numbers on jerseys, pictures of their cats.
