LeGooo 0 Posted November 30, 2011 None of those sound like NFL team names. Whatever team moves their should keep their name 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninersdd 575 Posted November 30, 2011 The Lakers kept their name from Minnesota, so obviously there is precedent there for keeping the name even when it completely doesn't make any sense for LA. (Yeah I know a name like the Jaguars should work anywhere). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kw11333 134 Posted November 30, 2011 The NFL is a stickler for teams keeping their names when they move. Even Tennessee had to use the "Oilers" name for a season after they moved. They also forced the Cardinals to keep that name the entire time they were in St. Louis, despite the baseball team having that exact name for 60 years prior at that time.It would come full circle if the Rams or Raiders moved to LA though. Really would be no need for a name change anyways. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbadefense1990 369 Posted November 30, 2011 I could dig the LA Avengers in the NFL, playing at Farmers Field, being in the AFC West. For some reason, I can dig all this in the AFC: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the first part isn't true at all.The Oilers kept their name after the move because Bud Adams didn't want to change it, not because the league forced him to. He was personally fond of the name, and former players asked him not to change it. But after taking a lot of heat from the fans in Tennessee, he finally agreed to adopt a new name. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unwind 149 Posted November 30, 2011 I've always liked the "Los Angeles Legacy." No idea why. No historical meaning or anything. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBGKon 2,592 Posted November 30, 2011 - If the Rams, Raiders, or Chargers move to LA, no rebrand is necessary as those names have local significance.- If the Jags go sometime, I think that name could work with new colors and an Aztec style flair. Leave the teal history back in Jax.- Anyone else would be on a case by case basis (Los Angeles 49ers? Maybe. Los Angeles Vikings? )I really like the name Avengers and Sentinels. Legacy is a good one too, but I'm not sure the NFL's keen on singular plural names. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 49ers are getting a new stadium in the Bay Area...they're likely not going anywhere. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So It's safe to assume that the second part isn't true either. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
