    Initially, I predicted Portland Roses because we are the city of roses and the owner also own the Portland Thorns FC.

    After seeing todays IG post and caption, my final prediction for our WNBA team's name is

    Portland Blaze

    blaze - fiercely burning fire

    If not that, Portland Embers, something fire related. We'll find out today!

    I guess because they play during the summer the Portland Fire is fitting.

    I like that the fire is in the shape of a rose. Great job by the graphic designer

    apparently the outline is in the shape of Moda but I'm not sure how. I like the logo, but I wish the letter O resemballs a baskeball ;)

    Im fine with the name, and whatever, but I find the whole "it keeps Portland weird" stuff that seems forced.

    I love the logo and font they used.
    But not a fan of the name Fire.

    Nah, the original name was tied into the word Blaze. I think it’s a good now as it was then. Better than having some lame one.

    It’s good. Probably would have preferred Reign myself but Fire works.
