Toronto's Women's National Basketball Association expansion team is asking fans to help choose the name and look of the team — with a focus on having all of Canada involved.
In a news release, the group said its "call for inspiration" is open until Aug. 28, with everything shared to be reviewed by a group of designers and advisers who are set to create the team's official brand. Larry Tanenbaum's Kilmer Sports Ventures is the owner of the as-yet unnamed team, which was announced in May.
The WNBA team will play out of the 8,700-seat Coca-Cola Coliseum, an arena in downtown Toronto at Exhibition Place and will have the ability to move up to the 19,800-seat Scotiabank Arena on occasion. The 103-year-old arena is also home to the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies and hosted the first Professional Women's Hockey League's Toronto team during its first-ever playoff run.
