    So we can either share a name with a WNBA team or the OKC Durants?

    Awesome.

    Am I the only one who thinks of the WNBA when I here a name that isn't plural?

    I am the same way, football for sure. That is why I started with I enjoy football and hockey more. But if I'm going to attend a sporting event, MLB ranks up there when it comes to bang for your buck. It is a fun way to spend a lazy summer day

    Northerners retire to the south and plenty of them have been migrating as well. That's why you saw teams in Phoenix, Tampa and Miami for retirement communities and Raleigh and Atlanta for workers.

    Do what the Mighty Ducks did, go for a team name that will sell merchandise outside of the team's city.

    Ice Dogs.

    Hockey is fucking awesome. IMO, the best of the four major sports to watch live. Also, the players seem to be pretty down to earth and approachable.

    It should be ice and snow related. We're bigfoot country, so what about the Portland Yetis?

    How do they decide if a team will represent a city or a state?

    The Colorado Avalanche.

    The Golden State Warriors.

    The Oregon Lumberjacks?

    Hell I'll take the Portland Oilers . . . as long as it means Portland is getting a hockey team. (Could you imagine how the name Oilers would go over in the NW, lol)

    I'd be more interested in how fans in Edmonton would feel about it.

    If they're going to use a nickname for the state/Portland, I hope it's not one that continues a stereotype about the area (loggers/lumberjacks/crappy weather)

    Portland Hoods.

    With a big Mt Hood in the logo. Could do some graphics with hoodies or jokes with people being from the ghetto hood.

    The Oregon Rain. The Rain melts the ice.

    I don't want something rehashed like the Pilots or Lumberjacks or Beavers. Plenty of those already. While the Blackhawks and Winterhawks have no affiliation the logo's are way too similar.

    The Oregon Grass would be good! The Hops is a great name too bad Hillsboro already got it.

    That's why I thought of the Oilers. I figure if a franchise relocates, Ptd is going to be taking on the name of the franchise and how funny would it be if ti was Edmonton. Of course Edmonton is a storied franchise that will never move, but my point is I don't care what franchise name they get as long as they get a franchise. I thought the Portland Penguins had a nice ring to it and if you believe reports back then, it was a possibility.
