Second, the team history
Portland Trailblazers was founded in 1970, when Portland was just the center of western development, so naming the team after "Trailblazers" can reflect the characteristics of that era. The Trailblazers were originally built around two players, namely 6' 4 shooter Jeff petrie from Princeton University and 6' 65,438+00 rebounder Leroy Ellis who won from Baltimore Bullets in the expanded draft.
The first game in the history of Portland Trailblazers was against Cleveland Cavaliers, who was also a upstart in the NBA at that time, in three games: 1970, 10 and 16. The duel between the two new teams ended with the Trailblazers beating their opponents by three points. Defender James Banert made a free throw at 9: 00 18 seconds in the first quarter, which was the first point in blazers' history.
The final score of the Trailblazers in 1970-7 1 season is only 29 wins and 53 losses, but it is already the best among all the new forces, but the 35.4% winning rate of the Trailblazers is almost contemptible.
20 14- 15 season blazers beat the suns on March 3 15 with 109-86, and the fifth playoff ticket in the west was confirmed. On April 4th, 20 15, the Trailblazers beat the Lakers away 107-77, and the Thunder lost to the Grizzlies 92- 100, and the Trailblazers won the Northwest Division for the first time.

Third, team culture.
Team emblem
The icon in the middle of the team emblem has been used on Louis and Clark. Designers want to show courage, determination and pioneering spirit. This icon also indicates that five players from both sides of the war are fighting in the circle of 1vs 1. The middle of the team logo looks like two lines with similar colors, with the word "Portland" on it and the team name "TRAll BLAZERS" below. There are good and wrong colors, diamond-shaped shelves and strong layering.
