I was thinking about the nicknames..
San Antonio has had a baseball team for many years and the team nickname has often been Missions. I have to believe that if the city did get an expansion team, there's a good possibility that would be the nickname..
other possibilities would be to play off of the current NBA team, The Spurs.. and the WNBA's Silver Stars... maybe just Stars? Other possiblities include Renegades, Desperados, Gunslingers, Tejanos.. but my vote would be for what the defenders of the Alamo (and citizens of the Republic of Texas) were known as... Texians...
San Antonio Texians
As for Portland... There are a ton of possibilities.. but I tried to find something to do with the city itself. Portland has several nicknames, and the most common is "the Rose City".... I couldn't come up with anything for that.. Another nickname for the city is "Rip City".. So, how about the Rippers ?
Portland Rippers
eh?
