Jay_Mellowed 334 Posted April 9, 2012 How about a 3-team nickname trade between Utah, Charlotte, and New Orleans? That would result in:- New Orleans Jazz- Utah Bobcats- Charlotte Hornets 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthStar74 14 Posted April 9, 2012 That I will agree with.. I dont think it would be right for franchises to change names and swap team histories away to others just to satisfy some whiny needs for true history.. I would perfer each franchise is followed as is where they used to be from and when they moved to what city and etc.. same for NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL and others.. just see where each franchise is from what original city and where they are now.. I have done an Excel database for all franchises (NFL, CFL, NHL, MLB, NBA) so I want to be sure which franchise is in what city and when and all I have done is put in win/loss/tie with overtime and shootout for the records and what division they were in and did they win any divisions along with league championships and more.. so I would rather be safe than sorry to make sure all my data is continuing with each franchise move and other things. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mings 577 Posted April 9, 2012 new orleans hurricanes!!/ runs and hidesNormally, that wouldn't be bad. However, not so good now. Yes, we all know about Katrina and how much she was a raging b***h. However, you have the secondary famous hurricane. People would think of Pat O's hurricanes, and any of us locals (or semi-locals in my case) know, that just isn't a real hurricane. Just like whenever you see someone with a Tropical Isle hand grenade or flashing some boob, if you see someone with a Pat O's hurricane, you know they are a tourist.I do very much like B-Rich's Spirits idea. St. Louis Cathedral is definitely one of the icons of the city and would work well as park of a logo package, and in one way or another the vast majority of the city is quite spiritual. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kw11333 127 Posted April 9, 2012 The NBA has to have the worst nicknames of all 5 major North American leagues.Lakers - ANY Lakes even in the LA area?Warriors - Most used name of all timeGrizzlies - If you count all the criminals in that city, as "Grizzlies", then yes, Memphis has a lot of them"Thunder - Another very common name among amateur and minor league teamsMagic - They were the 2nd most famous "magic" in basketball for their first five years of existenceKings - A more famous "Kings" team already exists in the same stateBobcats - No need to explain whyRaptors - named that because of mid 90's Jurassic Park popularity. A majority of season ticket holders signed a petition to change name to "Huskies"Jazz - Salt Lake City has a lot of things, but Jazz is not one of themHornets - Name/brand ruined after 3 relocation's in side an 8 year spanMost of these did not start off as band names, they are bad because the NBA has an obsession with making teams keep their names. Upon research I found out that most of the teams that relocated requested a name change. If it was not for the lawsuit, the Thunder would still be the Sonic's. The NFL makes teams keep their names (Colt's, Raiders) because of branding. Also the NBA also does have a lot of good names for their teams, but the bad ones far out weigh the good ones. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
