During the 2008–09 season, Greg Oden finally debuted, playing in 61 games. Portland also added international talent with Spanish swingman Rudy Fernández and French-native Nicolas Batum, who emerged as a skilled defensive forward. Roy made his second straight All-Star Game appearance, and Fernández competed in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Weekend.

In the 2009 off-season, the Blazers traded the No. 24 pick to Dallas for the No. 22 pick and selected Víctor Claver. They also picked Villanova forward Dante Cunningham, Jon Brockman, and guard Patrick Mills. Brockman was traded to the Kings for No. 31 pick Jeff Pendergraph. Free agent Channing Frye signed with Phoenix, and Sergio Rodríguez was traded to the Kings. The Blazers attempted to sign free agents Hedo Türkoğlu and Paul Millsap, but Türkoğlu signed with Toronto, and Utah matched the offer for Millsap. On July 24, the Blazers signed point guard Andre Miller. Despite a winning record, the 2009–10 season was marred by injuries. Reserves Batum and Fernández started on the inactive list, and forward Travis Outlaw followed with a serious foot injury. Centers Oden and Joel Przybilla suffered season-ending knee injuries, while Roy and Aldridge played through various injuries. Head Coach Nate McMillan also ruptured his Achilles tendon during practice. To fill the void at center, the Blazers acquired Marcus Camby from the Clippers for Steve Blake and Outlaw. Despite these challenges, the Blazers finished 50–32, securing the 6th seed in the West.

Cho became the first Asian-American GM in NBA history.<a href="#cite_note-109">[109]</a> On August 12, the Blazers signed two new assistant general managers, Bill Branch and Steve Rosenberry, replacing Tom Penn, who was released in March.<a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a> The organization also made changes to McMillan's coaching staff, hiring Bernie Bickerstaff, Bob Ociepka, and Buck Williams. Similar to the previous season, the 2010–11 season was plagued by injuries. Jeff Pendergraph and rookie guard Elliot Williams suffered knee injuries, sidelining them for the season. In November, Oden underwent microfracture surgery on his left knee, ending his season.<a href="#cite_note-111">[111]</a> Brandon Roy also underwent double arthroscopic surgery on January 17, 2011, to repair both knees, casting doubt on his future. Days later, Marcus Camby had arthroscopic knee surgery. Despite the injuries, the Blazers remained competitive, with LaMarcus Aldridge emerging as the focal point of the team. Wesley Matthews also proved his worth in Roy's absence. Believing the team could make a playoff run, Cho made a trade on February 24, 2011, sending Dante Cunningham, Joel Przybilla, and Sean Marks to the Charlotte Bobcats for former All-Star Gerald Wallace.<a href="#cite_note-sportsillustrated-112">[112]</a> The Blazers won 48 games, securing another playoff berth but were eliminated in the first round by the eventual champion Dallas Mavericks in six games. In the 2011 off-season, the Blazers released Cho, reportedly due to communication and "chemistry issues" with owner Paul Allen. Chad Buchanan took over as interim GM. Cho's dismissal was criticized as "illogical" by Sports Illustrated,<a href="#cite_note-sportsillustrated-112">[112]</a> though they noted that Allen had made many questionable moves during his tenure as owner. On June 23, 2011, in the NBA draft, the Blazers selected guards Nolan Smith from Duke with the 21st pick and Jon Diebler from Ohio State with the 51st pick. On the same day, the Blazers made a three-team trade with the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks, sending Andre Miller to Denver and Rudy Fernández to Dallas, and acquiring Raymond Felton from Denver.<a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a> The 2011 NBA lockout halted transactions until early December, when the Blazers faced several setbacks: Brandon Roy announced his retirement due to chronic knee problems, Greg Oden had yet another knee setback, and LaMarcus Aldridge underwent heart surgery.<a href="#cite_note-espnretire-114">[114]</a> Interim GM Chad Buchanan signed three free agents: Kurt Thomas, Jamal Crawford, and Craig Smith.<a href="#cite_note-115">[115]</a> In the shortened 2011–12 season, the Blazers started 7–2<a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> but quickly collapsed as starting point guard Raymond Felton and others struggled with McMillan's new running-style offense. Despite Aldridge making his first All-Star Game, the team remained inconsistent. On March 15, 2012, the Blazers made several moves, trading Marcus Camby to Houston and Gerald Wallace to New Jersey for expiring contracts and draft picks. They also released Greg Oden and fired head coach Nate McMillan, naming Kaleb Canales as interim head coach. The team finished with a 28–38 record and missed the playoffs for the first time in three years.

Injuries, which had not been significant the previous season, started to inflict themselves on various players. Starting center Lopez fractured his right hand in a game against the Spurs on December 15, 2014, and missed the next 23 games.<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a> Initially, the Blazers were much unfazed, winning 129–119 in triple overtime against the Spurs on December 19, a game that saw Lillard and Aldridge combine for 75 points on 29 field goals; Lillard netted a career-high 43 points.

In the first half of the season, the Blazers had a record of 30–11, allowed opponents to score an average of 97.0 points, and held them to 29.7% shooting on three-pointers; in the second half, the Blazers regressed to a 21–20 record, allowed 100.2 points, and let opponents shoot 37.9% from three. The Blazers clinched a return trip to the playoffs on March 30, 2015, defeating the Phoenix Suns, 109–86.

class="thumbcaption text-align-center">2004 to 2017</div></div></div></div></div> The team's colors are red, black, and white. The team's "<a href="/wiki/Pinwheel_(toy)" title="Pinwheel (toy)">pinwheel</a>" logo, originally designed by the cousin of founder Harry Glickman, is a graphic interpretation of two five-on-five basketball teams lined up against each other. One side of the pinwheel is red; the other side is black or white.<a href="#cite_note-birth-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a> The logo has gone from a vertical alignment to a slanted one starting in the 1991 season, creating a straight edge along the top<a href="#cite_note-logos-162">[162]</a> The Blazers' initial uniforms were white at home and red on the road. The 1970–1975 design featured a swooping tail accenting the last letter ('blazers' on the home uniforms; 'Portland' on the road uniforms). The 1975–1977 uniforms featured the team name written vertically on the right side; this uniform was used in their 1977 championship season.<a href="#cite_note-blazers_uniforms-163">[163]</a><a href="#cite_note-retro-164">[164]</a> Following their championship victory, the Blazers unveiled a new look featuring a "blaze" strip that runs diagonally down the uniform. The team also switched their road uniforms to black. The 1977–1991 set featured lowercase lettering, while a red uniform was used in lieu of the black uniforms from 1979 to 1985. Following a redesign in the 1991–92 season, the Blazers updated their look to feature uppercase letters. A 2002–03 rebrand saw the team add silver accents and introduce a red alternate uniform, while a slight change in the 2005–06 season saw the Blazers return to the city name on their road uniforms.<a href="#cite_note-blazers_uniforms-163">[163]</a><a href="#cite_note-retro-164">[164]</a> The 2009–10 season saw the Blazers unveil a fourth alternate uniform, a design that features the team's 'Rip City' nickname and a more subtle version of the "blaze" on the side. This uniform was tweaked to include sleeves in the 2014–15 season. For the 2012–13 season, the Blazers changed their red alternate uniform to include black lettering, a more modernized "blaze" strip, and the pinwheel logo atop of it.<a href="#cite_note-blazers_uniforms-163">[163]</a> For the 2017–18 season, the Blazers made some slight revisions to their look upon moving to Nike, changing the alignment of the city and team name from italicized to straight while adding the 'Rip City' nickname on the waistband.<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> They also changed their red alternate uniform to include a black and grey variation of the "blaze" strip inspired from the team's pinwheel logo and a lack of white elements.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> In the 2019–20 season, the red "Statement" uniform was updated to feature white letters, white numbers with black trim and a thin white strip above the series of black and grey strips. This was due to visibility concerns surrounding the previous red uniform.<a href="#cite_note-blazersnike-167">[167]</a> Then in the 2022–23 season, in collaboration with Damian Lillard, the Trail Blazers updated their "Statement" uniform, only featuring the iconic "pinwheel" logo in black along with black/red side striping inspired by the aforementioned logo.<a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a> In addition to the "Association", "Icon" and "Statement" uniforms, Nike released annual "City" uniform designs. The Blazers' 2017–18 "City" uniforms were predominantly black with a grayscale plaid pattern (in homage to former head coach Jack Ramsay), 'Rip City' and lettering in red, and a silhouette of the <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_Portland,_Oregon" title="Flag of Portland, Oregon">Portland city flag</a> on the beltline.<a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> The 2018–19 season "City" uniforms again used the 'Rip City' concept, this time with a more subdued red "blaze" strip and black and dark grey background. In addition, the Blazers wore an "Earned" uniform by virtue of qualifying in the 2018 playoffs. The uniforms were similar to the 'Rip City' jerseys but with a red base and white letters with black trim. The "Earned" jersey was only used for that season before it was shelved permanently. The 2019–20 "City" uniform was heavily inspired by the team's original white uniforms, featuring 'Rip City' and block numerals in red with black trim, along with player names in black. In the 2020–21 season, the Blazers' "City" uniform will pay homage to the Oregon landscape and its native tribes. The uniform features a brown base with black lines similar to a <a href="/wiki/Wood_grain" title="Wood grain">wood grain</a>, a series of zig-zag lines in shades of red, blue, yellow and orange along the right side, and the "Oregon" insignia found on the <a href="/wiki/White_Stag_sign" title="White Stag sign">White Stag sign</a>. The waist also includes the Oregon outline and nine blue triangles symbolizing the state's native tribes.<a href="#cite_note-blazersnike-167">[167]</a> As in 2019, the Blazers also wore an "Earned" uniform after qualifying in the 2020 playoffs. The uniforms were patterned after the team's "Association" uniform but lacked the red elements and had a silver base.<a href="#cite_note-blazersnike-167">[167]</a> For the NBA's 2021–22 75th anniversary season, the Blazers' "City" uniform was a mixture of past uniform elements. Once again going to the 'Rip City' concept, this uniform featured the same number font as the 1991–2002 uniforms, the red and gray plaid striping in homage to Jack Ramsay, the "Portland" script from the team's first uniforms on the waist, tributes to Portland's 'City of Roses' moniker and the team's 1977 championship and 1990 and 1992 conference titles, and a white circle surrounding the current logo in homage to the center court of Veterans Memorial Coliseum.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a> For the Trail Blazers' 2022–23 "City" uniform, the team went with a black uniform with teal and silver accents, replacing the trademark diagonal strip with a pattern inspired by the carpet found on the <a href="/wiki/Portland_International_Airport" title="Portland International Airport">Portland International Airport</a>. "PDX" in silver letters was positioned above the uniform.<a href="#cite_note-171">[171]</a> The Trail Blazers again honored Dr. Jack Ramsay for their 2023–24 "City" uniform, featuring a black base, black grayscale plaid patterns, and red plaid letters. The "Rip City" throwback lettering was brought back with this uniform, along with cream numbers trimmed in red.<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> A red-based <a href="/wiki/2023_NBA_in-season_tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="2023 NBA in-season tournament">2023 NBA in-season tournament</a> court with a middle cream strip was paired with this uniform, with silhouettes of the NBA Cup.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> This theme would continue on the team's 2024–25 "City" uniform, this time as homage to Portland's iconic plaid heritage and a salute to <a href="/wiki/Mount_Hood" title="Mount Hood">Mount Hood</a> on the shorts. The black-based design again featured "Rip City" in white with grayscale plaid patterns.<a href="#cite_note-174">[174]</a> The team's <a href="/wiki/Mascot" title="Mascot">mascot</a> is Blaze the Trail Cat, a two-tone silver-colored <a href="/wiki/Mountain_lion" class="mw-redirect" title="Mountain lion">mountain lion</a>, which has been the team's official mascot since 2002.<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> From 1987 to 1989, Portland's official mascot was <a href="/wiki/Bigfoot" title="Bigfoot">Bigfoot</a>, which was former Trail Blazers player <a href="/wiki/Dale_Schlueter" title="Dale Schlueter">Dale Schlueter</a> in a sasquatch costume that was 9 feet (2.7 m) tall.<a href="#cite_note-176">[176]</a><a href="#cite_note-177">[177]</a> The concept was pitched to the Trail Blazers front office by Jay Isaac of Isaac-Ross Productions.<a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a> On March 22, 1989, following a 151–127 victory over Portland, <a href="/wiki/Golden_State_Warriors" title="Golden State Warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> head coach <a href="/wiki/Don_Nelson" title="Don Nelson">Don Nelson</a> protested to the media about a skit during a <a href="/wiki/Time-out_(sport)" title="Time-out (sport)">timeout</a>, in which Bigfoot crushed a model of the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge" title="Golden Gate Bridge">Golden Gate Bridge</a> while the song "<a href="/wiki/I_Left_My_Heart_in_San_Francisco" title="I Left My Heart in San Francisco">I Left My Heart in San Francisco</a>" played over the <a href="/wiki/Public_address_system" title="Public address system">public address system</a>.<a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a><a href="#cite_note-180">[180]</a> Bigfoot was discontinued as Portland's mascot following the incident.

The Trail Blazers have long been one of the NBA's top draws, with the exception of two periods in the team's history. The team drew poorly during its first four seasons of existence, failing to average more than 10,000 spectators per game.

The final 27 home games of the 2007–2008 season were consecutive sell-outs, a streak that continued through the entire 2008–2009 season and into the start of the 2011–2012 season.<a href="#cite_note-207">[207]</a> The team's rallying cry, "Rip City", was coined by broadcaster <a href="/wiki/Bill_Schonely" title="Bill Schonely">Bill Schonely</a> during the team's <a href="/wiki/1970%E2%80%9371_Portland_Trail_Blazers_season" title="1970–71 Portland Trail Blazers season">first season</a> and remains an integral part of the team's and fanbase's identity.<a href="#cite_note-208">[208]</a> In the 2023–24 season, the Blazers began testing "OneCourt Haptic Displays", a <a href="/wiki/Haptic_technology" title="Haptic technology">haptic</a> device that allows fans with low vision or blindness to be able to "watch" live games.<a href="#cite_note-209">[209]</a> The device was made more accessible the following season.
