Sounds a lot better than the "San Antonio Dallas Cowboys" name that somebody suggested for the professional soccer team coming to San Antonio. :hat

Yeah - pretty much any name referring to weather is a second tier team name.
I think they should just go with New York Nets, and hire a graphic designer with talent and a decent eye.

Name aside, I wouldn't judge the potential logo on a image supplied for trademark purposes.

How about just Brooklyn? They've obviously run out of ideas in the USA for renaming teams, so how about from now on they just use the city/state names and that's it...

David Stern will never allow a logo that is based on tagging. It violates his "DO NOT SCARE THE WHITE PEOPLE" rule. (The same rule is why you get country and rock pumped over the speakers at games but no hip hop, and why there is a dress code.)
