What's In A Franchise Name?

I actually really like the nickname, Grizzlies. I hear what you're saying about it not being the best fit for Memphis, but overall I think it's a great nickname.

The Utah Mormons. LOL!
I think the Bobcats logo sucks but the Hornets logo is worse. It reminds me of the logo of a cheapo chain motel.

Oklahoma City Tumbleweeds!

Oklahoma City Tumbleweeds!

The OK Corrallers.

Thank you. I'll be here all week, take care of your wait staff they work hard to get you drunk.

somehow this will turn into an eagles comment forum......

lol!

Portland Trail Blazers??

I understand the Oregon Trail and all that jazz but it makes no sense. It should be like the Portland Patchouli's, or the Portland Hippies, or Portland Granola's. Portland Hop Heads.

Whatever Seattle Supersonics are leaving so naturally they will flock to the Portland Bandwagon

i think a lot more people will be flocking on that portland bandwagon as well with a healthy oden next year...

Lakers?? Are they referring to Castaic??

the name "Lakers" is stuck in LA to stay, but I agree on Memphis, that needs a better name

also, I think most agree that the New Orleans Jazz makes way too much sense to not happen someday

There is not now, never has been, and never will be Jazz in Utah.
