My guess, as a Blazers fan, is that it has to do with the Oregon Trail, and Portland being one of the ending points of said trail...but I'm not a pro.
I've read that it has to do with the pioneering history of oregonians...and the name 'pioneers' was taken by a local college team already, so a citizen vote deemed the 'trail blazers' the winning choice.
