Portland Trailblazers
On February 24, 1970, just two weeks after Portland was granted an expansion franchise by the NBA Board of Governors, Harry Glickman announced a public name the team contest. A panel of judges was selected and the public was invited to mail entries to the team’s offices. Fans submitted more than 10,000 entries; the most popular was not The Portland Trail Blazers, but Pioneers. One of the rules of the contest ruled that name out because team nicknames of any Northwest colleges would not be considered, and Pioneers is the nickname for Portland’s Lewis and Clark College. -NBA.com
