Nets changing their name

I think going with "Brooklyn" would be fine. Would give the team a little flavor.

You think you see a lot of Packers gear outside of Greenbay or a lot of Cowboys gear outside of Texas? That's the nature of sports.

Yeah, you do. The Cowboys are America's Team. When I go to a sports bar on Sunday here in Washington (state) the Cowboys are the most well represented team, even more so than the Seahawks. The same happens for the Yankees and Giants.

Congratulations, the sports bar you go to (that I obviously have no means to verify) apparently represents the entire country. That's quite a feat.

Unfortunately for you, that has nothing to do with New York basketball, and you've already proved you know next to nothing about the sports climate here.

You just described sports in general.

The idea that the team should be named after a smaller borough inside the same city because they won't be regarded as well as the Yankees is kind of asking a lot, isn't it?

True, in terms of how non-fans may view the teams but the Jets have a huge following, there's a reason they're the 9th most valuable sports franchise in all sports according to Forbes, just two spots below the Giants.

actually every time i go out of state i make it a point of counting cowboy gear vs. the local teams. i started a thread about it a while back. the only time i saw a team beat the boys was LA dodger gear at Disneyland.

im not sayin, just sayin
