The new WNBA team in Canada will be called the Toronto Tempo, a name revealed quickly after a leak. The logo features a light-blue basketball with a "T" and a trail, symbolizing motion. Team colors will be blue and red. The name "Tempo" was chosen from over 10,000 submissions, reflecting control in the game. It is designed to resonate with both English and French speakers, aiming to represent all Canadians. The team will play primarily at Coca-Cola Coliseum and other venues across Canada. Toronto was awarded the WNBA franchise in May, marking the league's first team outside the U.S. The team is owned by Kilmer Sports Ventures, which paid $115 million for the franchise.
