I like the new mascot. Blaze is pretty lame IMO and is very handsy. Watch him whenever someone is winning anything. If not for the costume, he would go to jail.
Love the name and got season tickets two rows off the court.

I also think the new mascot is at least 100 times better than Blaze. I hope Blaze is sent down to the G League.

Yes, I get that, but why would that be the name of a basketball team?

I do not think they are going to have a problem putting Rip City Remix on anything and selling it.

The Portland Trail Blazers were the original professional basketball team instituted in Portland in the 70's.
This is a new professional basketball team being instituted in the same city, with the same 70's styling, with the same basic logo elements. They've taken many of the original elements and rearranged, repurposed, and repackaged them into a new version with callbacks to the original--thus, a remix.
It's clever and cool--don't overthink it (like I just did).

Great for taking the kids to a game for which the attention span can be limited.

I'm confused by that last part. It says "not have participated in basketball activities after October 15th, 2023" .... Which is almost a month AFTER the tryout. Did they mean 2022?

I believe it refers generically to rules for laying in the GLeague. Which comes across confusing, as you mentioned. But a college player can't try out, make the team, have practice with their college in late October, and then stay on the team. Or, ignoring the tryout, a college player is(I assume) ineligible for the GLeague if they have done any college activities after that date.
