    I thought the Mafia was dead. Fifty bucks under the table, you got a name change.

    It rains in the Northwest, hence Thunder. Do these owners live in California?

    If they chose Thunder so they could do the PTFC and all of the other Timber chants, G for T and Growlers for Timbers would work. Thorns was chosen for the female soccer team and it worked out perfect.

    We do seem to be on a run of T's. Timbers, Thorns, Trailblazers, Thunder, Tinterhawks...

    HORRIBLE name choice! Ownership of this team is obviously clueless.

    That looks like it's from a video game from the 90's. Rouble Ribble!

    Yeah it really sucks because a lot of us are very interested in football and they had a chance to be the biggest games around without having to drive hours up or down I5. The logo would look great if it had a different word on it. My guess is the owner thought it was cool and surrounds himself with a bunch of yes men. Obviously the fan suggestions and votes were meaningless to him.
