OT Baseball and Football Coming to Portland?

[SlyPokerDog]

Has anyone else gone to watch the Chapman Swifts? It is heckin fantastic!

Yes, it's really amazing.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Multi purpose stadiums are not being built anymore. I want MLB baseball more than anything.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Teams with history in Portland:

MLB: Mavericks

NFL:

Portland Flag colors with a pinwheel-esque logo

Can't use those colors.

Don't forget the Forest Dragons.

If NK was targeting Portland, they'd actually hit Oakland and Seattle, so....A's and Seahawks, welcome to PDX!

Those MFS would hit the pacific ocean.

 

[dviss1]

Can't use those colors.

Just change the green and add gold.

 

[dviss1]

Turn Terminal 1:

Into this:

Maybe a multi-purpose stadium: NFL+MLB?

I think St. Louis might hate on us for stealing their gateway tho.

 

[theprunetang]

Just change the green and add gold.

Much better.

Portland Breakers

Portland Breakers

Portland Poppers and Lockers

THIS.

That's actually a giant toilet seat turned on end.

It's a tribute to liberal hipsters.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Portland Carpet Munchers!

 

[BonesJones]

Rose City Renegades
Portland Vipers

Put an MLB stadium on the river just north of the Pearl District just south of the I405.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Portland Chinook

The Portland Baristas

The Portland Protesters

I like the stadium idea. Not hot on the names. It has to sound like it would become a classic. All of my ideas are probably worse.

Portland Swifts
Portland Meadowlarks
Portland Chinook
Portland Evergreen (my new favorite)
Portland Green Sox
Beaver State Pounders

 

[Minstrel]

Rose City Renegades

Sounds like a fake franchise from one of those sports video games that couldn't license the real team names.

 

[Nhawz]

Oh I'd watch it. I just don't see what it has to do with my history. Nor do I see where history needs to be a part of naming stuff.

I'm a third-generation 9er fan, and there's no way I'd root for another NFL team. Never.

Baseball, I'm a Giants fan, but I suppose I could learn to root for a Portland team. Though I would prefer not to.

NHL, I only watch during the playoffs and Stanley Cup. Don't care about it, but I would root for a Portland team.

My father and I had season tickets to the Arena Football League when it was here. Fun games, but not a big crowd.

Are you native Portland? If so, how could you not root for your hometown?

I am not. My whole family is from the Bay Area. Moved up here in 1995.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Is there anymore information about what the OP heard about on the radio? Like who exactly is claiming they can bring an MLB and NFL team to Portland.

The other day on 620, Jay Allen said it was "oil businessmen" from Japan, who were having a meeting in Iceland.

Yeah, totally sounded legit...

Greenland, man. Not Iceland, Greenland.

I've heard it both ways.

Totally.

 

[Schilly]

Ospreys would be kinda cool except one thing, A seahawk is an Osprey.

Baseball: Portland Herons
Football: Portland Cascades (interseting story as to why the cascades are called the cascades)

If we go fish theme I like Sokeye over Chinook but no fish for football.

Football... Lumberjacks is so fitting in so many ways, but always sounds cheesy to me in terms of a sports franchise, but plaid shoulders on a football jersey might be pretty dope.

Other options
Mountaineers
Summits

Sasquatches might be interesting, but probably too dorky.

Doesn't have a great ring but I always liked Growlers. Watching a game with a fat jug of microbrew would rock.

Then NEVER change. PDX football can be your 2nd team.
