  • Trail Blazers 50Th Anniversary
    PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATING 50 Years of Trail Blazers BASKETBALL When you start to uncover five decades of history, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the impact of a basketball team in the Pacific Northwest on its players, fans, culture and community. We’ve witnessed more than 4,000 games, 400,000 points, and countless plays that made Rip City stand up and shout. All the while, a sports franchise has managed to bounce into our lives and shoot into our hearts. From a man with a vision and his trusty raincoat to the champs red hot and rollin’ down Broadway. From the beloved Blazers of the 90s who were best in the West to this point in Dame Time. From the memories of our very first game to our very last buzzer beater, this franchise makes up the fabric of who we are and everything our city has become. We look forward to celebrating 50 years of Trail Blazers basketball, presented by your local Toyota dealers and Spirit Mountain Casino, with five Decade Night celebrations throughout the season featuring Trail Blazers greats, a special 50th logo, court and uniforms, Trail Blazers commemorative 50th Anniversary wine produced by Adelsheim Vineyard, and more. We hope you enjoy these personal stories of Trail Blazers through history. Cheers to 50 Years, Rip City!
