💨 Abstract
An expansion WNBA franchise based in Portland has revived its former name, Portland Fire, which played from 2000 to 2002. The team, operated by Raj Sports, matched the original's colors and unveiled new branding, including a "Rose on Fire" logo. Despite high season ticket sales, the launch faced issues, including trademark exposure and a recent change in leadership. The team intends to kick off with high momentum.
