    I love it tbh especially as I just knew they would mess it up due to how fucking horrifying the new mascot is.

    I like the new mascot. Blaze is pretty lame IMO and is very handsy. Watch him whenever someone is winning anything. If not for the costume, he would go to jail.

    Love the name and got season tickets two rows off the court.

    I also think the new mascot is at least 100 times better than Blaze. I hope Blaze is sent down to the G League.

    Can we trade blaze to Miami for a bunch of first round mascot picks?

    Yes, I get that, but why would that be the name of a basketball team?

    I do not think they are going to have a problem putting Rip City Remix on anything and selling it.

    The Portland Trail Blazers were the original professional basketball team instituted in Portland in the 70's.

    This is a new professional basketball team being instituted in the same city, with the same 70's styling, with the same basic logo elements. They've taken many of the original elements and rearranged, repurposed, and repackaged them into a new version with callbacks to the original--thus, a remix.

    It's clever and cool--don't overthink it (like I just did).

    Knowing the culture of Portland, I could see the Remix becoming almost as popular as the Blazers, as following something like the G League would be a very hipster thing to do.

    I love the logo and the name...this is going to rock! Much better than the Idaho Stampede in my opinion...I really hope it brings jlprk out of retirement to call some G league play by plays again on S2!
