    What is in a name? That which we call a rose, would, by any other name, smell as sweet.

    9 months is still far away that not having a name, logo, coach, etc my is no big deal.

    They were the TIMbers, now they're the timBERS. It's subtle but different.

    I believe he means they are acting like it's the same franchise, just that it took a nap for part of its existence (basically the "Timbers" franchise was dormant from like 1990 until 2001 or something like that).

    It's why you see the Timbers as "founded" in 1975, even tho this current team is not the same franchise, it kind of is.

    Would the Portland Queens of Farts smell as good as the Portland Roses?

    If trying to go with T names ... I'd go with Tempest or maybe Twilights if you want to appeal to the millennial women that will probably need to support the team for them to be successful.

    The Black Ferns is a Portland AF name.

    Even “The Ferns” is better than The Fire.

    Somebody has been listening to too much Ohio Players.

    No difference in smell but a very awkward name.

    Your link goes to their IG home page, not a specific post.
    Their social media people suck. Some of their posts are obviously written by AI.

    I predict our team will be called the Portland Roses simply because of the pinkish red colour reveal and the Thorns connection (same owner)
