    bullshit they are! I'd be guaranteed to get season tickets if I convince my wife and kid the team is named after her fans!

    There is a bit of irony that this thread gets a little traction once the blazers season is done. It's almost as if everyone is looking for something to do. It'd be a shame if there was something to occupy your time, like another sports franchise or something.

    I agree, but "Swifts" just doesn't roll off the tongue like Barfo Sox.

    I am biased, but I can't really think of a more fitting name. It offers great material for logos and such too. You could have a Portland spelled out in stylized lettering with with the chimney in place of the "l" with a stylized flock of swifts leading in.

    Disagree. Especially since their mascot can be called Philma

    Doesn't the city have Peregrine Falcons? Trained falcons would be a groovy mascot.

    Nobody goes to Mt Tabor anymore…… unless they want to get shanked by a homeless guy.

    We certainly hope not. It would be nice if this Diamond Group really packs a punch. What's going on in Tampa is a travesty. They have a great club, bad stadium or not, and don't pack the place. B.S. Floriduh, great for Spring Training, total dud for The Show. Even when they have won it all (Marlins). They used to blame it on a poor stadium ( Pro Player, before reno). But now they have an awesome retractable dome, and still dont fill it. Only the World Baseball Classic woke them up.

    We have PDX Sliders already. But baseball players slide as well.

    "The Rays"? No wonder nobody goes to their games.

    Really, they've been good, not just this year. Or are you being funny too.
