Toronto Tempo unveiled as handle for new WNBA team as leak accelerates unveiling
TORONTO — Canada’s new WNBA franchise will be called the Toronto Tempo, a handle officially unveiled with some haste Thursday morning after it was leaked the previous day.
The name appeared — briefly — on a team drop-down menu on the league’s official website.
Team president Teresa Resch took it all in stride.
“Well, nothing ever goes as planned,” she said in an interview. “But yeah, we would have loved to have our merchandise ready and be able to roll that all out at once. But we’re still really excited to share the name and logo and colours.”
