phutmasterflex 1,071 Posted April 25, 2014 I prefer that they don't change it since the team is the Bay Area's team and not just one city's team 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School Fool 4,155 Posted April 25, 2014 I'm not opposed to it but Golden State is classic, but then so is San Francisco, so uh... do whatever. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illwauk 423 Posted April 25, 2014 If it were up to me, I'd go with San Francisco Bay Warriors. It's keeps San Francisco in the brand name, but still claims the entire region. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bleujayone 6 Posted April 25, 2014 How about the Golden GATE Warriors? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imawalkingcorpse 289 Posted April 25, 2014 How about the Golden GATE Warriors?Yes, especially since they make all of us fans want to jump off the bridge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FiddySicks 11,050 Posted April 25, 2014 How about the Golden GATE Warriors?Oh yeah that'd be real great considering they have the Bay Bridge as a logo.They should just change to San Francisco. Or just keep the Golden State moniker. Either way, I'd be happy. I'd like to say that calling them the Bay Area Warriors would be cool, but I feel like that'd get old really fast. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigers6884 493 Posted April 25, 2014 I think Oakland fans would be angered by the change. Especially considering the Athletics situation in baseball. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 19,520 Posted April 25, 2014 Since they are the ultimate representation of the Bay Area - representing San Fransisco, Oakland, San Jose, and everything else, the clear answer is to drop all location identifiers and simply become the Ultimate Warriors. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's unique, and not in the mangled fork variety in that overused meme. It works. Bay Area WarriorsCalifornia WarriorsNorthern California WarriorsNorCal WarriorsSan Fran Warriors...yeah, none of those really work. Stick with "Golden State." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeypower 2,949 Posted April 25, 2014 Where did Golden State come from in the first place? There's no other team whose geographical identifier is the nickname of the state or city they're in. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawk36 3,353 Posted April 25, 2014 Didn't Golden State come when they moved from San Francisco to Oakland and didn't want to be called the Oakland Warriors? Maybe I'm wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TruColor 587 Posted April 25, 2014 Didn't Golden State come when they moved from San Francisco to Oakland and didn't want to be called the Oakland Warriors? Maybe I'm wrong. I believe so, but I still think Oakland Warriors would have worked. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Discogod 426 Posted April 25, 2014 Back in '96 there were rumours that the team would change to "Oakland Warriors" when they returned to the refurbished Oracle Arena after a 1-year sojourn in San Jose. Glad that never happened.The "Golden State" nickname came fabout in the early 70s when the team intended to become a "regional" team (much like several ABA teams). Whilst they would still play the bulk of their home games in Oakland, they also planned to play a few games in places like SF, San Jose & San Diego. That idea was abandoned pretty quickly, although they did still play 6 home games in SD during their first season as Golden State. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
