omnibus Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 never mindBrooklyn...Na, they will be the New York somethings. Thats my money. Global brand. Brooklyn is too bourough specific. Only guys from Brooklyn or transfers to Long Island would like a Brooklyn specific team. "New York" can keep all its old fans in jersey, old New York Nets fans and pick up Connecticut and Yonkers and Queens and even Manhattan and Europe and Asia. But Brooklyn would be too narrow.New York Nets there is your winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Ummm....Brooklyn DOES have huge brand appeal, or did you ignore that discussion in the thread?

keynote Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nets is probably better than anything they can come up with. Nets is at least not soulless. Dr. J played with that name on his chest.I'd like to see someone design a modern version of this. On a slightly off-topic note, I kinda dig how Dr. J used his sweatbands to emphasize the asymmetric design of the uni. Of course, I think today's NBA has rules preventing a player from wearing "mismatching" sweatbands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 At least one person understands the intricacies of the language.Thanks for telling me I don't understand the intricacies of the English language because I got the idea that people slur their words! 'At least one person understands' as in 'a minimum of one person understands'. Not as in 'this person and no one else understands'.

29texan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Nets is fine with me.But still.... I'd rather it be Brawlers. Sorry, but other than 'Dodgers' or 'Brusers', Brawlers is the first to come to mind.Or how how about.... dare I say it... the Brooklyn BEASTIES? ...hey, just throwin em out there.

I mean, Washington basically just went back to their Bullets uniforms WITHOUT renaming themselves the Bullets.Still, I like Brawlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"New York" can keep all its old fans in jersey, old New York Nets fans and pick up Connecticut and Yonkers and Queens and even Manhattan and Europe and Asia. But Brooklyn would be too narrow.New York Nets there is your winner.Brooklyn is the most populated borough, and I disagree about it only drawing Brooklyn people. NY is a very fair-weather town when it comes to Basketball. When the Knicks are good, they are the hottest ticket in town. When they are bad, you can get tickets for $7 on StubHub. If the Nets are whatever they call themselves are good and the Knicks are not, people will go to Nets games.As far as the name, when the plan to move to Brooklyn first surfaced the talk was they would become the Brooklyn Eagles, after the newspaper, "The Brooklyn Eagle", that used to be printed across the street from the arena location. However, that was under the previous owner, haven't heard anything about it lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I still maintain the name should be Brooklyn Knights. Not only does it sound like Brooklynites, as positive alternative to Brooklynettes, but it's a common team name not used in any of the 4 major leagues that doesn't sound amateurish. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does it sound like Brooklynites, as positive alternative to Brooklynettes, but it's a common team name not used in any of the 4 major leagues that doesn't sound amateurish.The problem with 'Knights' is that its 2 letters away from 'Knicks'... Not sure if a team intending to be an "alternative" to the Knicks would like to have a name so similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Knights' and 'Knicks' don't sounds anything alike. They'd also have entirely different logos and color schemes, so I don't think the similarity in spelling would hurt their branding.
