    Of the ones mentioned in the reddit discussion below I really liked
    Rip City Roses
    Rip City Riot
    Portland Pioneers
    Portland Roses

    But honestly, I just prefer Portland Fire over all of them. Or maybe bringing back Portland Power...

    Are any other WNBA teams named after a slogan rather than the city?

    Not that I'm aware of. Some are named after states... New England Patriots are named after a region.

    Maybe Rip City is a region?

    In a way, the Atlanta Dream are named after a slogan. That's the only obvious one that I could see.

    Not sure we would get to use Roses…..that new women’s league that formed this year…..I believe one of the teams is using it unfortunately.

    I just hope they don't do something corny like "lumber Jills" or feminize some male sports name (I doubt they will anyways). Or something weather related (like the lame "Seattle Reign" or "Seattle Storm") or stupid like "Seattle Kraken".

    I like how the Thorns are an off-shoot of the nickname for Portland (Rose City for those who are outsiders visiting this on a whim because you searched for "why is HCP such a knob?".) I even like (tho I know I'm not supposed to) the Seattle Sounders name, since it goes off on the Sound.

    I mean, I hate the Sounders and their fans can all choke on a pencil, but the name is cool.

    I kinda like these name suggestions:

    Portland Trident (to honor Portlandia...the statue, not the stupid show).
    Portland Cascades
    Portland Roses (tho, it's a little passive sounding)
    Portland Swift is kinda cool.

    I kinda like the Trident the best tho. It not only has a connection to Portlandia, it keeps the theme of T names for the pro teams (Trail Blazers, Timbers, Thorns, etc). They could even have it loosely connected to the three arrows.

    The biggest issue with Trident is that the Shit-cans in Seattle use it for the Mariners and they'd probably bitch to the heavens (i.e., "little brother"...well, "little sister" the team and the fans forever).
