BurdBranding Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I love Brandiose... and everything they have done for minor leagues baseball. At least they keep everything fun, creative and fresh. Hell, some might not be my first choice, but everything they put out is impressive and different. That is what minor league is about, and you can find me deciding what new brandiose branded teams hat I want to snag every year off of my low college income, just because it's worth the looks from others when they see the hat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The Tennesse Titans should still be the Tennessee Oilers The Titans is a very generic identity. The Oilers is classic in every way. The Lakers did the right thing by keeping that name when they moved to LA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've been outstanding in the logo department, but I'm growing tired of the overused adjective-noun names. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville has long been called the "Athens of the South," and has been home to a full-scale replica of the Parthenon since 1897. Plus the alliteration is nice. However, I probably would've been fine with keeping "Oilers." 1 Quote Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Addressing the previous comments, I still wish Charlotte, New Orleans, and Utah all rotated nicknames when it was announced that Charlotte would take back the Hornets nickname. Charlotte Hornets Utah Bobcats New Orleans Jazz All three make logical sense. Now if the NBA could figure out the Wizards identity crisis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 @DNAsports I don't think you realise just how many times a lot of us have had to hear that "Utah, Charlotte, and New Orleans should swap names" argument. It's been trotted out so often that I'm not sure I would oppose making it a banable offence. 8 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I get why people want it, but the name Utah Jazz doesn't bug me. It never has & I'm fine with the Pelicans being used as a name for New Orleans... as well as the Hornets being back in Charlotte now that the Bobcats name is gone. So there's no real reason to change. Also, Jazz wasn't even chosen for the Music by New Orleans, but rather it's definition: collective improvisation, a common theme in Swing Music (A type of jazz music) & BASKETBALL. Now that's a clever name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Swing music is heavily arranged and not open to collective improvisation outside the rhythm section (I think you're thinking of the hot jazz or Dixieland jazz of the early 20th century), and if you're saying the team was named the Jazz with no regard to New Orleans being the birthplace of jazz, you're deluding yourself. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Bottom line is, the name Utah Jazz has become iconic enough that moving away from that would be a stupid move. There are no Bengal tigers in Cincinnati, so who the hell cares 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another unpopular opinion I have is that I don't like how the Golden State Warriors current identity is as bad as the Washington Wizards current identity.
