Taro T Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I wonder if New Orleans would love to have called its NBA team the Jazz again. Always thought New Orleans should have called themselves the Fighting Mormons and then see if Utah wanted to swap monikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronyAbounds Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The Browns only kept their name because Cleveland was clearly screwed over by Art Modell and holy hell was raised because of the move. What is more likely to happen is like what happened to the Oilers. They moved to Tennessee but Bud Adams was a dick and changed the name to the Titans but retained the rights to the Oilers so the new Houston team could not use it. The Oilers helmet was so beautiful in its simplicity it is a shame it wasn't able to be resurrected. The Texans' helmet is just so Arena footballish. My guess is that when the team leaves Buffalo it will use a new name and the Bills name will be lost forever, not that Buffalo will ever be able to get a new team.

BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Would calling them the Buffaloes just to spite us really be part of the conversation ? Doubt that's part of the conversation that will take place. The people I know out here in SoCal would rather have their own logo a team and name. The % that even know who the Buffalo Bills are do not want to be associated with a team with such little national respect and w/O.J. Simpson. Your name Is safe. In fact, a couple of years ago some guy on the Coliseum Commission said if the Rams,Raiders, or Chargers came LA he was for keeping the team but if Jax.or Buffalo they would like to have fan involvement in the naming of the team.

RuntheDamnBall Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 ill bring the following retort, deadspin proclaiming it awesome, and the best new team name: http://deadspin.com/...t-new-team-name many people wanted it back, but accepted it wasnt happening They should have just done it anyway. There are precedents, such as the 5 CFL Roughriders franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
