OT MLB to PDX: We're talking baseball to PDX (3 Viewers)

[julius]

I could live with it.

It wouldn't be the worst, but it's too close to the name Rockies. It would like if Portland with the Pilots name. While cool (and UP would probably not be too happy), it's too close to the Mariners name.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Pit Bulls

Maybe save Predators for an NFL team

 

[hoopsjock]

Just for fun I went through a list of animals that start with P...

I like both the Peacocks and Platypus but as other people already mentioned that would never fly.

Portland Pandas

Portland Piranhas

Portland Porcupine

Portland Polar Bears

Okay, those ones are dumb.

That would be an awkward name when it actually does happen.

Someone already mentioned Pit Bulls. I didn't mention Penguins or Panthers because those are other pro team names. Pythons kind of went with the Anaconda discussion.

 

[hoopsjock]

Oregon Ogres?

That's great until people start protesting that we're offending ogres.

 

[BBert]

Portland Not Happenings

So, the Portland Fantasy?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

You can't offend something that is make believe.

 

[hoopsjock]

You can't offend something that is make believe.

Do you live in Portland? Some people will protest anything!

 

[BBert]

Portland Pikers for the locals who for decades have been too afraid to take a gamble on major league sports

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Do you live in Portland? Some people will protest anything!

I thought you were gonna go the other way.

Like, 'I don't know, the way some of my friends talk of their ex wives you would believe Ogres are real.'

The last 3 digits of my ex's phone number is 666. No joke.

You be the judge.

[Hoopguru]

I could live with it.

Cascades?
The club will in a Port/Harbor Town and the stadium on a river, and it should be the Cascades?

The Portland River Hogs as in the salmon
The Portland Harbor Hounds

The Portland Tugs
The Portland Paddlers everyones paddling something
The Portland Skippers

 

[BBert]

Has someone already suggested the Portland Panhandlers?

Or Dragons?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

There's already been Forest Dragons here and I started hearing people hated that name after they were gone.

Buddy, Tugs will never be a team name, lmao.

 

[Hoopguru]

Buddy, Tugs will never be a team name, lmao.

come on man, The Tugs are playing tonight! How original and the river is full of them.

 

[BBert]

I have a feeling they are going to come up with something that's not an animal.

Probably something more esoteric, or I don't want to say nebulous, but something less tangible than animals and fairy tale creatures.

Something water or river related would be something to think about.

OTOH: They are going to need to grow their fan base, which I would think would include a heavy dose of appealing to children to both get their parents out to the park and to develop them as future ticket holders.

For marketing, how might they perhaps compete with or interest young fans of computer/on-line/video games?
