Toronto Tempo named as new WNBA franchise following leak
Toronto's new WNBA team will be called the Toronto Tempo, a name revealed quickly after a leak. The logo features a light-blue basketball with a "T," and the team colors will be blue and red. The name was chosen from over 10,000 submissions, emphasizing control in the game. Team president Teresa Resch noted that "Tempo" reflects both the rhythm of basketball and Canadian identity. Toronto was awarded the WNBA franchise in May, becoming the first team outside the U.S. The team will play primarily at Coca-Cola Coliseum and aims to host games across Canada to promote women's basketball.
