AboveLegit Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_nba_experts__67/ept_sports_nba_experts-3729811-1292353754.jpg?ymbTVPEDYVaxnHxvThe logos, more concepts than finished drawings, make it clear the trademarks are for a Brooklyn basketball team. In one, a basketball player straddles the Brooklyn Bridge. In another, the words, "Brooklyn New Yorkers" fronts a basketball featuring a world map while in a third, another version of "Brooklyn New Yorkers" is imposed on a basketball. The Patent and Trademark Office continues to review the applications. The decision to seek trademark protection around the time the team informed the NBA it would be changing its name from the "New Jersey Nets". The NBA requires a team to file two years prior to a name change but it does not require a team to state what the new name will be. Under an agreement with the Empire State Development Corp., the Nets' new name must include either "Brooklyn" or "New York" in its name.http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Are-the-New-Jersey-Nets-becoming-the-Brooklyn-N?urn=nba-295887 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 "New Yorkers" is an attempt to lure Knick fans into becoming their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaveli Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Probably just an attempt to make money off fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I guess they are trying to work a name out with "Brooklyn" rather than "New York" if the Nets are the one behind this. I really think we should have New York as our location name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I agree about the no name team comment, this name just doesn't flow. Doesn't sound like a team that would be affiliated with the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloo Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I hope that's just like a first sketch.. It's almost as bad as the Thunder logo. The font choice makes it look so Disney-esque. Brooklyn New Yorkers is way too long as well.. Brooklyn Nets sounds so much better. They could just change the logo to incorporate new colors to lure new fans. Something a bit less dark.
