Portland Trail Blazers Launch Rip City Remix G League Team
The Portland Trail Blazers just have officially announced the name, logo, and branding of their G League affiliate team during a community event held at the University of Portland.
Rip City Remix Unveiled as Portland Trail Blazers' G League Affiliate
Portland Trail Blazers' G League affiliate team, now known as Rip City Remix, embodies the spirit of Portland, its vibrant community, and rich culture. The name reflects the concept of taking something already exceptional and remixing it to create an extraordinary outcome.
Dewayne Hankins, President of Business Operations for the Portland Trail Blazers, expressed his excitement about the new chapter in Trail Blazers basketball, stating, "We are thrilled to launch this team in the North Portland community, with a name and brand inspired by our fans, culture, and region. Rip City Remix games will be fun, family-friendly, and accessible, and we look forward to seeing you on the court this upcoming season."
Rip City Remix pays homage to the vintage era of the Portland Trail Blazers, capturing the essence and colors of the 1970s when the franchise was born. The team's name and concept were inspired by the creative and innovative nature of the Portland community and its fans—individuals known for their craftsmanship, DIY spirit, and trailblazing mentality. By remixing existing elements and reimagining them, Rip City Remix aims to breathe new life into the game of basketball, much like the G League itself, where young players from diverse backgrounds and styles come together to develop their skills and aspire to join the NBA.
