“Our 2026 jerseys are an embodiment [of] this new era of the team: bold, innovative, and resilient,” said Portland Fire Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications, Kimberly Veale, in a news release. “Every element was shaped with Portland in mind, honoring our legacy, while capturing the spirit and energy of this incredible city we represent. As we prepare for our debut season in May, our athletes, and fans alike, will embody that ethos when wearing a Fire jersey.”
Portland initially announced its return to the WNBA as the league’s 15th team in September 2024. The franchise later announced the return of the “Fire” name in July 2025, originally used from 2000 to 2002. The Fire are scheduled to tip off on May 8th at home against the Chicago Sky.
