Background - Portland Trailblazers
Portland Trail Blazers, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Trail Blazers play in the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon, and wear jerseys of black, red, and white. The team's name refers to the travelers of the Oregon Trail, a route used by settlers of the American West. The trail ended near Portland.
On February 24, 1970, just two weeks after Portland was granted an expansion franchise by the National Basketball Association, Harry Glickman, then executive vice president of the club, announced a public "name the team" contest. A panel of judges was selected. Harry said he no longer is able to recall names of everyone on the panel but remembers Doug Baker, a popular daily columnist of The Oregon Journal, as one of its members.

The public was invited to mail their entries to the team's offices, then located in a downtown storefront location on S.W. Yamhill between 5th and 6th Avenues. Harry said there were boxes and boxes of entries mailed in. "There had to be 10,000," he remembers. The most popular of the entries was "Pioneers" but the new franchise had said at the beginning of the contest team nicknames of any Northwest colleges or universities would be ruled out. Portland's Lewis & Clark College had already claimed the Pioneers nickname.
Update The Portland Trail Blazers from 1977-2003 reached the NBA playoffs, 26 out of 27 times; however in the 2005-2006 NBA season they finished with the worst regular season record in the NBA. This is a very young team, with no veteran leaders. Zach Randolph is a great young big man, but he definitely needs to continue to improve and mature during this off-season. The Trail Blazers have a great future ahead of them after the 2006 NBA draft; they selected LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, and Sergio Rodriguez. All of those players have the potential to become great players.
