    It's the Portland colors. I wouldn't change a thing save making it Blazer colors.

    I use to go to a lot of games in the 60's as they had players like Hank Greengrass, George Freese, Sam McDowell, Luis Tiant and sweet Lou Pinella along with many others. Back then there wasn;t near as many Major League teams so the AAA teams would end up with some pretty good talent. Pretty much the same situation with the Buckaroos as they had players that by todays standards would be NHL players but played in the minors due to not many spots available in the NHL.

    Yeah, but I can't bring myself to wear Duck colors.

    The key to a good pro sports team is the ability to make up cool nic names for them.

    The Trail Blazers are just the Blazers.

    What cool nicname would the Pioneers have? The Neers? The Pi? The Pions?

    I'd love to see Pat Casey coach the team if we get one in Portland...he's as good as they get.

    Beavers averaged around mid 5,500 in the mid to late 2000 years and then moved to Salt Lake City and that's minor league baseball. I don't know if there are archives of attendance records but I know when I went to the games in the 60's that the place was pretty packed and the population of Portland was significantly smaller.

    And that is entirely your prerogative but Portland is now looking at MLB.

    And MLB is crossing the street and walking faster for no obvious reason.

    He's certainly good for college ball. So i might work but remember not all things transfer well to the pros.

    I guess I left out the part where I don't personally care about minor league sports, but I would support MLB or NHL or NFL.

    I don’t really like baseball, but if it’s privately funded I won’t complain. I’d rather an NHL team.
