While funny, I'm not sure if that's something we'd want to lean in to...

NY Jets?

The Rip City Roses is completely untouchable as for as names go

"Untouchable" as in "out of the question", or "so perfect it's in a tier by itself"?

In a tier by itself. S tier

I'm down with Pioneers! My two youngest are Pioneer WBB players at Oregon City HS, and my oldest was a Pioneer WBB player for 4 years in high school and is now a Pioneer WBB freshman at Lewis and Clark.

GO PIOS!

*Edit*
I like the idea of sticking with Portland Fire, though. Rip City Roses is pretty good, too.

and the PIOS dominated women's HS basketball nationally for a number of years. Everyone in Oregon that's a women's round ball fan, knows of the Pioneers! And have for over 30 years....

 

[Hoopguru]

Pioneers (I don’t give a fuck about Lewis and Clark feelings)

Roses

Rosebuds

Dames (If Lillard was involved somehow)

The Rip City Roses is completely untouchable as for as names go

In would bet most WNBA teams would want to be called Roses or Rosebuds. More like Thorns or Hemp

Portland Pride - there was an indoor soccer team in the 90s with this name that used a lion for the mascot. Not sure about using that mascot, but lots of ways to use the term Pride, especially in Portland.

Shakes head…. Wow.

I'm with @Mediocre Man , if the name isn't Rip City Roses, they've failed as human beings.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Rip City is the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers are Rip City.
This WNBA team should stick with Portland _____ name.
And the Blazers own the trademark to Rip City. So I doubt they'd let the WNBA team use it. And I agree that they shouldn't.

There not a women's basketball team on the planet that would want to be the Roses or Rosebuds. lol NFW

 

[Mediocre Man]

Are we concerned the owners own the Kings? Should we start 47 threads about the Rose Petals/Roses/Pioneers/Dames/Platypuses moving to Stockton or Fresno?

The WNBA exists thanks to the NBA. Would Schonz be down with it? I think so.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Oooh, how about the Portland BS’s after the great Bill Schonley

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

The WNBA exists thanks to the NBA.

Don't see why that matters in this situation. Different owners of the two teams here in Portland.

Thank you for this. It’s great to have someone’s input that has every women’s basketball player in the world on speed dial

While we're at it, why can't we have a local owner!!?!?

THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD NAME THEM THE PORTLAND ANTIFA!

It’s outrageous

 

[julius]

It’s outrageous

Typical of Sacramento, always trying to tell us what to do!

 

[Hoopguru]

Sac has an aggressive business community, and they very well could get MLB before Portland. SLC too.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I mean, I get it…

Royals to Kings, Monarchs, state capitol. Pretty much a city of arrogant pricks
