TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • WELCOME
WELCOME TO
RIP CITY IT’S BLAZE’S BIRTHDAY BASH! Blaze the Trail Cat joined the Trail Blazers 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 and a tail that looks like blazing flames, and a heart-shaped nose. He loved his life in the mountains 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 they needed to find a good home for him. 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 felt at home right away with the Trail Blazers and quickly became a basketball fan and the team’s biggest supporter. Blaze has become a staple at every Trail Blazers home game cheering on the team, visiting with fans dancing in the stands, and more. Stop by entry A-18 pregame to get your photo taken with Blaze!
