Good. It was kind of sad that they had to put "Basketball" in the Toros logo to let everyone know what was actually going on.

Is SWBC going to be on the jerseys?

Part of the problem is that they can slap Austin on all the jerseys, tickets, posters, and promos that they want...but they are really the Cedar Park Toros (erm...Spurs?). Love the nice new arena and everything, but even as someone who lives in north Austin, it's pretty far out of the way for a minor league basketball game.

Would be nice if it weren't on an island out there by itself, but Cedar Park will fill in soon enough; its boundaries are set.

pretty lame considering none of the other d-league teams (knicks maybe) do it. Should just put a spur in the logo and keep Toros, imo

Will probably be more if NBA teams locate their own D-League teams outside their home cities. Over 15 minor league baseball affiliates do it. I figure the single affiliate teams not owned by NBA teams won't do this since those affiliations can change.

I didn't see anything wrong with the Toros name. The spur in Austin made the affiliation obvious, though it was a bit annoying to have the spur off-center like that.

Don't really like the name change.

D-league isn't really a serious league. It's typical for players to come and go mid-season.

Now you'll have players who played like one game for the team and he's got recognition that he played for the "Spurs"?

Didn't seem like a big deal to me as they share the Cedar Park Center with the Dallas Stars' affiliate, The Texas Stars. I've always hated the name "Toros" anyway.

Reinforcing their D-League team association with an instantly identifiable brand is a good, if not brilliant, move. For those who don't follow the D-League much it may give them a 'spur' to looking at the team. I'm sure any confusion in PR releases can be handled by their front office by adding "Austin Spurs" or "D-league Spurs"
