I was truly hoping it was a placeholder

Name is kinda boring, but I like the colors. Curious how they settled on Tempo.

Resch said the name was chosen from more than 10,000 submissions with "multiple Canadians" offering up Tempo.

"It's really the first team name to talk about the game itself," she said. "Tempo is not about going fast or slow, it's about control. And truly, as Canadians, we're not playing your game, we're defining ours through that control."

Tempo also relates to the in-game experience, from the pace of the game to the pulse of the music, said Resch. Not to mention that it works both in English and French."We really plan to be a team for all Canadians," she said. Perhaps a little optimistically, the team says its name "was chosen to reflect the rhythm and pace of both our nation and the game of basketball."


Honestly I kind of like the name, logo and colours but seems like I'm in the minority locally

Folks will get over the name even if they think they dislike it. Give it a few years.

I mess with the alliteration though.

But it looks like the Toronto team name will be the Tempo

What kind of focus group tested slop is this



“its sharp angles and round curves a nod to the dynamic nature of the team and the game”

It's like these people have never met a basketball fan in their life

Tempo is a solid name. The logo just looks like the old school Pacers logo

Valykries logo and overall design is just great. Hope the tunnel to come in from takes advantage of an optical illusion to create the logo in your vision, if that's possible. It would be neat.

The Valkyries logo is cool but that jersey is not for me.


Feels like a fashion jersey where they slap a huge logo on the front rather than an actual team sport’s jersey. Multiple sponsors on the front is bad too.

They're ok but both seem like teams from a movie or tv show.

I love things like this every time I see it and every time I've experienced it.
Only knock I have on this particular video, though: those dudes were scrubs.

It's pitiful they didn't know who she is but I can't lie, 80% of the dudes I play with weekly probably wouldn't know either. And she would torch the **** out of all of us, me included.

I feel you but that's the point though. You know 100% that these dudes would swear they could beat ANY woman, or are better than any "girl".

The real question is why didn’t the aces protect her and who tf they chose to protect lol

[blakep267]

I’m questioning what goes on behind the scenes in this expansion draft because there’s a bunch of names I would’ve taken that I know weren’t protected
