Legacy Era (2018-2037)
The original colors of the Portland Pythons were gold and black, and featured a logo with a black and gold python emblazoned on a black shield. The home jerseys were black with gold accents on the sleeves and a black collar. The away uniforms,by contrast, were white with a black color and gold horizontal stripes on the sleeves.

Modern Era (2038 - Current)
In the modern era, at the behest of their new general managers, the Python's updated their logo and uniforms. The general manager had this to say about the updated Portland logo: "Our logo now better represents the city of Portland and the branding as a whole. We took the 4-pointed star shape at the center of our logo from the flag of the city of Portland. The secondary star shape mimics that earlier influence while also alluding to the compass rose and to Portland's historic marine and shipping industries. The green color also comes from the flag, while the white primary color and the orange secondary color come from the scale coloration of the albino Burmese python. We're super excited to bring this new era to the team and to see this new logo on the helmets of the next generations of Pythons."
