The tournament will tip off on Nov. 3, and the team wants Blazers fans to make sure they’re wearing plaid to the game.

The Blazers are teasing something else special this season that has to do with plaid. The sign above Dante’s in Portland’s Old Town has been changed from “Keep Portland Weird” to “Keep Portland Plaid.”
