    It is gonna be really cool to watch the 2 way players (and maybe some higher level picks) play in this city. And they get to train in the same facility. It's nothing but good to have a team here and have no idea why they took so long.

    And very surprised they didn't fuck up with the name or branding.

    I usually despise singular names. I like this one.

    And sick play on the pinwheel.

    They somehow put together a solid and unique name and logo. Wow. I was expecting something like in the earlier 2000s when we added cartoon flames and shit as a secondary logo. That shit was beyond dumb.

    I was hoping we'd name it the Great Danes, after our best player, hopefully convincing him to stay ....

    It keeps the term Rip City with Portland after the Blazers move to Vegas.
