Portland Fire has been lit again - the 15th franchise has officially revealed the name and logo ahead of the 2026 debut and it is the same as the previous WNBA franchise from the city - Fire. The logo has has all the flame-leaning colours in it - red, blue and pink. The logo also, very cleverly, hides a picture in itself of a rose - as a mark to Portland which is known as Rose City too - smart, right? The rose logo also hints at subtle link with the organization's sister franchise Portland Thorns in NWSL - owned by same group.
