ShaftDu Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 you know I hate to admit it but I always like the Blazers' unis. Well, it is one of those unique ones where if you saw it you know they were Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countdorkula Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I always thought the Blazers logo looked like the local PBS station's logo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjm Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 What does their logo represent, anyway? Is there supposed to be a "t", "b", or "p" in there? Or does the symbol mean something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddley Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 What does their logo represent, anyway? Is there supposed to be a "t", "b", or "p" in there? Or does the symbol mean something? I think it is supposed to be five players on each side...I read a story on here about that a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Blazers' web site:"The pinwheel that appears on the floor (as well as the uniforms) is an actual representation of the game of basketball. The circle in the middle is the ball. The five line strokes in one color represent the five players on a team, the other five line strokes in a different color represent the opposing five players."

rmackman Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 They didn't do anything but change BLAZERS to PORTLAND. Kind of a frivolous change if you ask me. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I like the logic and tradition of having the city name on the road jersey but... I think I preferred these when they said BLAZERS instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with beer making...I mean, with trail blazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
