I starting to lean towards using Oregon rather than Portland, but whatever it ends up, great!

Oregon does encompass a representation of the whole Statehood, which I think would be a super move.
And I think it would be better brand equity for marketing.

Combine the two, the Oregon Portlandias, or as has already been suggested, the Portland Oregonians.

Agreed on the "Oregon" identification - in this age of inclusionism, it's the best route to take.

The Oregon Grapes!

There is already a college in the state with that mascot though. I doubt they will copy something already in use in the state, but who knows.
 
No we have to use Portland

The rest of the state doesn’t even contribute towards our new stadium. The city is with the infrastructure portion of it

I don't think its mandatory we use Portland. The owners can call it what ever they want, the last thing Id want is for the Mayors office to determine what the team will be called.

I didn’t say that. Obviously the owners will decide. I’m just saying the owners should use Portland because it’s the city of Portland whose contributing towards the infrastructure improvements and what have you. So in fairness it should be named after Portland.

Plus 90% of the population of the state is in the Portland metro area anyways. It’s only right that’s it’s named after the main fan base

I don't have a problem either way as long as we get a team.

I'm down with Oregon as part of the team name. It's so diverse when you think of ecoregions.
 
Despite my opposition to abstract names, the "Portland Underground" occurred to me this morning, and I kind of liked the idea. Except, I'd hate to be abbreviated the "P.U.", so never mind.
 
This is not one of my own suggestions. A texter sent in the name The Portland Yeti(Oregon), with a call out to Sasquatch on Dusty and Cam yesterday morning. They both seemed to like that, Cam especially.

What does everyone else think? Like it or hate it?

The question is... do you care if you replicate a college name?

i think as long as it not another pro team it is fine.
There are numerous Pro Teams that have college team names. If Blazers is used.
