    Nets Daily, which broke the story, notes attorneys from the Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton "sought trademark protection for the name, "Brooklyn New Yorkers", three logos featuring either a basketball or a basketball player and the Brooklyn Bridge and even a slogan, "We Come to Play." In each case, the trademark sought is for clothing including among other things: shirts, jerseys, jackets, athletic uniforms, headbands, hats, caps and footwear." Additionally, the domain name brooklynnewyorkers.com was recently registered through a proxy service.

    A 'Brooklyn' slogan that looks like graffiti? Appropriate perhaps, but not really a selling point.

    Lets hope that there are no wheels to this.

    On the bright side, the Nets can't get any worse.

    Yeah, at first I thought The Onion was doing their thing here, but the article cites multiple other links saying the same.

    Depending on the color scheme picked, the graffiti motif might look okay. But the name makes me want to york.

    Something like the New York Empires would be better. But its not so bad. I don't like the graffetti look to the word Brooklyn in the logo. Brooklyn is also not a city so it should not be in the team name. I like the bridge and world basketball logo.

    How about the Brooklyn Rats?

    ... after the Brooklyn arena complex developer Bruce Ratner.
