Newman Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 New Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis has posted on his blog a "List of 101 Signs of Visible Change" undertaken since he gained control of the NBA team in June.The improvements are based on fan suggestions. No. 31 is "Change Wizards' team name to Bullets," which is "Under consideration." Source Obviously with the Arenas incident not so long ago, it would be quite insensitive for them to change the name back to the Bullets right now. But, do you think the Wizards should change their name to something else or stay the same? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Makes no sense to change it after the Arenas thing plus, didn't the previous owner change the name on purpose? I think out of respect for him they should leave it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 They needed to think of 101 things, that is probably the only reason it was mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 It's under consideration, and many people here want it to happen, but personally, I don't mind keeping it at the Wizards. Despite the Abe Pollin thing and showing respect to him by not changing it, people just want to bring back the glory days of our franchise (which happens to be when we were called the Bullets).

Newman Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) The suggestion...that the Wizards may change their name back to Bullets is receiving overwhelming support in a Washington Post poll. Eighty-two percent of early respondents voted yes, 11 percent chose "Not ever" and seven percent clicked "Not now, considering what happened with the team last season."Source Original poll Pretty surprising.

Sħãlïq™ Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I prefer 'Wizards'. Why would they take a step backwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
