lol Nets becoming the "Brooklyn New Yorkers"?

[easy7]

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

[Darkwaters]

My thoughts EXACTLY!

Both are freaking "give up" names.

And >>Oklahoma City Thunder<< doesn't sound like a minor league hockey team?

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.

[baseline bum]

Should have called the team Brooklyn Zoo.

Yea, they are. Old news.



Team is currently called the New Jersey Nets.

That logo looks as if a old ABA advertising firm designed that! Wow, that sucks for their fans.

[Budkin]

They just took the le for worst team name away from the Washington Wizards.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

imo wizards > thunda

[rascal]

I like the Washington Bullets name. Lots of shootings in DC.

[SAtown]

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.)

Ahhhh... I thought that was the actual Logo they were submitting!

Something wrong with the Brooklyn Nets?

Apparently Mets, Jets, and Nets would've been too much.

found the first logo online, and modified the old school nets in MS Paint.

Brooklyn is always going to be tied with "bombers". But, for a better name..

The Brooklyn>

Targets
Carjackers
Chopshops
Mafia
Transients
Ball Breakers
Lottery Pickers

Sounds too much like NY Mets

Could have a triple crown in last place finishes though...

No, not nearly as much as "Austin Ice Bats" because we all know bats just love cold, icy climates.

And SpursTalk is still holding it's breath in collective suspense, waiting for Glenn Holland to make his first worthwhile post.

I passed out weeks ago and had to be shuttled to a strip club where I could catch my breath again.

Rhyming makes it fun

Besides, if the alternative is really "Brooklyn New Yorkers" this is a lot more sane.

What would you propose? I couldn't think of too many team names that work...

[DMC]

It does, but Brooklyn Crooks sounds better. Actually, the Brooklyn Scammers..
