As such, with the team set to make its’ return to the league for the first time since 2002, the Fire have now also revealed the uniforms they will be playing in during the upcoming season.
One of the uniforms Portland will don is the WNBA Nike Heroine Edition. White is the main color of the Heroine Edition jersey and the team name of ‘Fire’ will be displayed across it to symbolize “the city’s passion for the team,” as per a press release from fire.wnba.com.
Another one of the Fire’s debut season jerseys is the WNBA Nike Explorer Edition, which are the team’s red base uniforms.
Portland have also shared their team’s PDX secondary logos. One of this logo’s main features is that: “The body of the “P” and the “D” is inspired by the Willamette River that flows through the heart of the city.”

This particular feature of the PDX logo has also influenced the Heroine and Explorer edition uniforms, as the side tape of both jerseys also resemble the logo and flow of the Willamette River.
A new era for Portland
For Portland Fire Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications, Kimberly Veale, the new uniforms have been designed with the hopes of representing their franchise’s new era in the WNBA.

“Every element was shaped with Portland in mind, honoring our legacy, while capturing the spirit and energy of this incredible city we represent.”
Overall, the Portland Fire are set to make a statement on the court in more ways than one thanks to the uniforms they’ll be wearing next season.
