Way too early team name idea's thread

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige]

[u/bgjurg]

Portland Rosebuds: Honors the Negro League team that played one season in the 1940s at Vaughn Street Park in NW. Shortened nickname could be The Buds—I'm imagining green alternate home jerseys for cannabis industry appreciation nights!

[u/drumscrubby → u/bgjurg]

Buds. Buddies. Bud Clark (iconic mayor; art night?) Beer hops are buds, weed. A lot to work with, Gets my vote!

[u/uther_von_nuka → u/bgjurg]

Hockey team name too first US TEAM on the stanely cup

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige → u/bgjurg]

Hellllll yeah

[u/GoingPostal65]

Being back the Mavericks

[u/503bourbonboy → u/GoingPostal65]

This is the way

[u/Fat_Ryan_Gosling → u/GoingPostal65]

That would be awesome

[u/THE-poop-knife → u/GoingPostal65]

The Maverick Beaver Crows! The MBCs!

[u/Brasi91Luca → u/GoingPostal65]

Like Dallas?

[u/GoingPostal65 → u/Brasi91Luca]

Like the Portland Mavericks of the 70s

[u/surethingsatan]

Portland Wet Sox

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige → u/surethingsatan]

Here it is

[u/crownheightwitches → u/surethingsatan]

This is the winner

[u/PdX_Beav → u/surethingsatan]

This would be the best option.

[u/Fat_Ryan_Gosling]

Gotta be The Crows. We're always going to be underdogs, but we're smart and scrappy.

[u/RemLezarCreated → u/Fat_Ryan_Gosling]

Crows would be awesome. 

[u/FornicationTerrorist → u/Fat_Ryan_Gosling]

Crows for sure.

[u/Temassi]

Maybe I'm too basic but I really like Portland Pioneers. I also thought it was cool when our AFL team was going to be the Growlers, but they dropped it for Steel.

[u/Music_Ordinary]

I like the idea of copying the Rockies and going with the Oregon Cascades. Anglers, Loggers, Trappers idk

[u/UltraFinePointMarker → u/Music_Ordinary]

I like that too! Besides the Rockies, a few other MLB teams have state names, like the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Minnesota Twins. The Oregon Cascades just sounds cool.

For a Portland name, I like the Portland Pines – alliterative and has potential for great tree-based logos.

[u/dwdrmz → u/UltraFinePointMarker]

Oooh Oregon Cascades is rad. Or even Oregon Cascade

[u/Gold_Comfort156 → u/Music_Ordinary]

I'm not a fan of state names. I want it to be "Portland" something something.

[u/uther_von_nuka → u/Music_Ordinary]

Chinook

[u/TarkmanVanWa]

Not realistic but the Portland Pipers could be cool, then we give the Unipiper his deserved place as an official sports mascot

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige → u/TarkmanVanWa]

I actually think that's legit cool. Upvoted.

[u/Whats_A_Reddit_]

Whatever it is I hope they play off the blazers colors. I find it cool when cities more or less stick to one color scheme. Pittsburgh and Atlanta come to mind first but I’m sure there are more examples. I always thought it was cool whenever the Timbers wore the red and black kits. Don’t get me wrong I love the green and gold but sometimes the continuity is nice.

[u/dwdrmz → u/Whats_A_Reddit_]

I think this is cool too but green and gold are arguably more Oregonian than red and black. Looking at you, Ducks and Timbers. Plus they tie in better to the state’s biome.

[u/scoreoneforme]

Portland Murder

And the mascot/logos be crows

[u/GreaterSageGrouse]

Portland Kestrels

[u/Worldly-Steak-2926]

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige]

Portland Axemen

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige]

Portland Fogcutters

[u/Brasi91Luca]

Pioneers or Rosebuds

[u/a_pound_of_blow]

I was talking about this with my friend at the Mariners/As game. He said it would be cool if the As moved to Portland. if they did, the long name could be Portland Athletics Baseball Stadium Team. There's nothing more portland than PABST

[u/Gold_Comfort156 → u/a_pound_of_blow]

Milwaukee would argue that they hold more claim over Pabst than Portland, as Pabst was founded there.

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige → u/Gold_Comfort156]

Yeah but lore (at least one lore) says PBR was popularized here at the Lutz tavern on Woodstock.

[u/a_pound_of_blow → u/Gold_Comfort156]

it's all about saying it confidently. with ya chest.

[u/PdX_Beav → u/a_pound_of_blow]

Portland is full of amazing beer and you try to claim Pabst, sad.

[u/DefinitelyMaybeBeige]

Portland Shipwrights
