Potential New Expansion Team Revealed After WNBA Files Trademark
Potential New Expansion Team Revealed After WNBA Files Trademark originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The WNBA continues its push for growth and expansion. This year marked the inaugural season for the Golden State Valkyries, bringing the league to 13 teams and setting a new attendance record for a team's first three home games. Advertisement But the league isn't stopping there. Two more expansion teams are set to join in 2026. Toronto has already announced its team name — the Toronto Tempo — while the Portland-based team has yet to make an official announcement. On Thursday, word spread that the Portland group filed a trademark for the name "Portland Fire," a key step in the approval process before making it official. While there is a chance it is denied, it is unlikely. The name Portland Fire was originally used for the WNBA team that played in the city from 2000-02. Unfortunately, the organization struggled financially, losing about $1 million a year. After folding, its players were redistributed to other teams through a dispersal draft. Advertisement The Fire competed for three seasons, finishing with records of 10-22, 11-21, and 16-16. Some of their notable players included Sophia Witherspoon, Sylvia Crawley, Jackie Stiles, DeMya Walker, Ticha Penicheiro and Rita Williams. WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert talks to the media.© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The WNBA certainly plans to expand beyond 15 teams. Cities reportedly in the mix include Cleveland, Nashville, Philadelphia, Houston and others. WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert admitted it's not an easy process to expand. "These can either take a very long time to negotiate or it can happen pretty quickly if you find the right ownership group with the right arena situation," Engelbert said.

Can 'Supernova' Caitlin Clark become the most famous American athlete? Colin Cowherd makes shocking comparison
Much has been made of Caitlin Clark's effect on the WNBA. But where does she stack up against all American athletes? Fox Sports commentators Nick Wright and Colin Cowherd make the case that could surpass everyone else — except maybe the best NFL quarterbacks. Advertisement "Once Steph (Curry) and LeBron (James) retire, will there be an active American athlete that's more famous than her?" Wright said. "I think she will be more famous than every baseball player. She might already be. Every hockey player, all of the U.S. men's national team. "And I think she's already more famous than every NBA player expect (Kevin Durant), Steph and LeBron. And I don't see any (other American NBA players) catching her. I think she's a supernova of fame and talent." Celebrate Caitlin Clark's remarkable rookie season with IndyStar's book Clark won two national Player of the Year honors in leading Iowa to consecutive national championship games, and last year she won WNBA Rookie of the Year and made first-team All-WNBA for the Indiana Fever. She has marketing deals with State Farm, Gatorade, Wilson Sporting Goods, Nike and many others. Advertisement "She's the Tiger (Woods) of 20 years ago on tour," Cowherd said, noting that when Clark was recently injured, WNBA television ratings dropped. "Nothing against the WNBA. She's literally changing the entire league economy." Get IndyStar's Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark coverage sent directly to your inbox with our Caitlin Clark Fever newsletter.
