Trail blazer mascot

Blaze the Trail Cat joined the Trail Blazer family back in 2002 and has been the team’s biggest fan ever since. Born in the towering pines of the Oregon Cascades, Blaze was always a little different from the other cubs, with unique two-toned silver fur ears, a tail that looks like blazing flames and a heart-shaped nose..

He loved his life in the mountains, but always felt there was something else out there for him. So, one day, he set off on a journey through the woods and eventually found himself on the steps of the Oregon Humane Society. The staff there had never seen anything like him, but he was so playful, energetic and friendly they knew Blaze needed a good home.

The Trail Blazers heard about this frisky feline and knew right away that they wanted to adopt him and make him the team’s first-ever mascot. Blaze instantly felt at home with the Trail Blazers and quickly became a basketball fan and the team’s biggest supporter.. His love for the team and Rip City has only grown over the years and Blaze loves nothing more than to be at Moda Center with the best fans in the NBA! Outside of Moda Center, Blaze likes to spend time outdoors - which is where he found his new best friend, Douglas Fur!

Who is ?

Our very own Big Foot lives within Portland’s city limits in Forest Park. Forest Park is the largest urban forest in the United States and is made up of 5,200 beautiful acres of land. The forest is blanketed by Douglas Fir trees, including Oregon’s largest tree standing 242ft tall, and serves as a thriving habitat for over 100 species of mammals and more than 100 types of birds.

The first reports of a wild hairy beast-like creature in Oregon date back to 1904. Since then, there have been thousands of reported sightings, none of which could be verified with factual evidence except for the popular Big Foot that frequented Trail Blazers games in the mid-80’s.

Our Big Foot has remained elusive and undetected by humans for decades by carefully navigating the over 80 miles of hiking trails throughout Forest Park while naturally blending in with other un-shaven local hikers, and explorers camouflaged in local hipster, outdoorsy, Northwest attire. That is until now when our very own Blaze the Trail Cat finally found his new best friend, Douglas Fur, and introduced him to Rip City and the game of basketball!

Uh oh its mabic

From Harry Potter's wizarding world to the magic of Disney fairy tales, these stories transport us into a world where anything is possible. Magicians themselves are skilled performers who use their dexterity, misdirection, and illusions to create the illusion of magic. They are masters of their craft and can leave audiences spellbound with their tricks and illusions. Whether it's making objects disappear, levitating in thin air, or pulling a rabbit out of a hat, magicians captivate us with their ability to defy the laws of nature. However, it's important to remember that magic, as we perceive it in the real world, is nothing more than a clever illusion. It's a form of entertainment that relies on our willingness to suspend disbelief and be transported into a world of wonder. While we may be amazed and awed by the tricks performed by magicians, it's essential to recognize that magic, in the true sense of the word, does not exist. In conclusion, the allure of magic lies in its ability to tap into our sense of wonder and imagination. Whether it's through ancient beliefs and rituals or modern entertainment, magic continues to captivate and intrigue us. So, the next time you see a magician perform, remember that it's all just part of the show and enjoy the wonder and amazement it brings. Uh oh, it's magic!.
