gosioux76 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 And just for the record, the Beavers aren't a "defunct" AAA team. They're the current affiliate of the Padres:http://www.pgepark.com/beavers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yeah, I think he's confused the two Portlands.I'd have to vote for Beavers. Somebody floated Herons before (the Heron is the city bird), which wouldn't be bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suigi Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Well, I'll wait for a bit longer, but it looks like it will be the Portland Beavers."PORTLAND BEAVERS - DAM GOOD BASEBALL!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeman Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I voted for Other. How about the Portland Orcas? I think they're pretty prevalent in the Pacific Northwest. Plus, there's a little wordplay there. Orcas...Oregon...I think it could make for a cool logo, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoRsAndTwoLs Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I really like Herons and Pioneers. I think those two could work really well, but you'd probably end up with Beavers, just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suigi Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Actually, I have no idea.Y'see, with the Beavers, I have a color set and some logos.But the name is INCREDIBLY stupid.I mean, the Beaver is a CANADIAN animal! And although the Lumberjacks was my preference, I haven't been able to find the concept on the board yet.So, it's still very up in the air.

the admiral Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 "Beavers" is good if your target audience is 13-year-old boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 "Beavers" is good if your target audience is 13-year-old boys. So thats why Michael Jackson is an Oregon State fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHoJoe Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 How about the Portland Grizzlies or The Portland Pines..or should i say...THE PORTLAND PORCUPINES???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I love the soccer team - the Portland Timbers."Beavers" has a long history. If you're not going to go with a name that's almost a century old, you have to have a tremendous replacement. I don't see on the list above.

tj4eck Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I think you should go with "Oregon Pioneers". The end of the Oregon Trail was Oregon City just south of Portland and I think the fan base would support the team with a historical reference.

GeorgesL Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I'd say "Beavers" go better with Ottawa. (Should Ottawa get an MLB team, which probably won't happen, unless Canada creates its own MLB somewhere down the road.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suigi Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 I'll keep collecting votes for this poll, but I've already got possible uniforms and colors for the Beavers (using the PCL identity) and the Lumberjacks (using the Bangor Lumberjacks from the CanAm league).

Joshawaggie Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I have always liked Pioneers, but Lumberjacks kinda has a baseball theme, you know, bats=lumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
