Yormark: Name Decision in a "Month or Two"; Nets Would "Love To Have Islanders" Play "Couple of Games"

Email
PrintIn an interview with FOX Business Network, Brett Yormark says that he "likes" the Brooklyn Nets name and that it is the "working title" for the team, but nothing is set but he expects a final announcement "in the next month or two".
With regard to bringing the Islanders to the Barclays Center, Yormark was non-committal but said the Nets "were having a lot of different discussions." He did say "We would love to have the Islanders play a couple of games at the Barclays Center", suggesting Long Island fans could travel easily to Brooklyn on the Long Island Railroad "which comes to the foot of our arena". Nets officials have previously said that the layout of the arena would limit capacity for NHL games to 14,000, which the league is unlikely to approve on any long term basis.

Brooklyn Nets has that nice edge to it. I can’t think of an edgier, professional name than that. I’d love for us to have a throwback type jersey with like red and blue, actually, if dwight’s coming, the players can play shirtless and use the jerseys as capes for all i care

until stupid merger rules
made the nets dump all their cash to NY, therefore having to pawn Dr. J to philly and eventually dumping an at the time injured tiny to boston where he soon got healthy again
that seriously resculpted the nba landscape. the nets were the best ABA team by a mile. they definitely could have done some damage in the downtime between hondo and jo jo and bird/mchale celtics squads

mostly right...
We did get something back for Tiny A who was sent to Buffalo. The Braves (just before becoming the SD Clippers) then sent him to Boston for peanuts and it was there were he suddenly got healthy again.
But you’re right, pressure from both the NBA and the NYK’s “forced” the Nets into selling Julius. Then we got unlucky with the Tiny injury. What coulda been a deadly 1-2 combo turned into a double nightmare in less than a year.

Well what goes around comes around...
Once the Nets are back in NY where they belong the franchise will change for the better and there will be championships grown in Brooklyn.

it never made sense to me that the nassau coliseum
wasn’t served by the long island railroad. it’s like they want that team to not draw.
The Robert Moses backed goal back then was to promote car use...
Waaay back in the day the LIRR had many more commuter lines. There was one that ran by fairly close to where the Nassau Coliseum now stands. That line was scrapped in around 1954/1955 and arena construction began in 1969.
The tracks are still there (you can see it on Google Earth) but it’s used as a freight line to supply Roosevelt Field Mall. Incredibly stupid that they never brought that line back.

I was wavering big time on what I thought they were going to do with the name, but I’m pretty confident now it will be Nets.
Brooklyn Nets has an old school feel to it.

Hey NetsMets
I need some advice. With the Mets season starting, i’m gonna be back at AA in like a week or so. The thing is Ogre39666, mistermet, Russ and Evan_S were all saying I was making the whole thing up, they cursed me, questioned me, and talked behind my back about it on that Ollie thread. Ogre even said my bipolar, and the way my computer formats is fake. I’m pretty angry, and want to rant, but I know I cannot do that on AA. I also want to make certain baseball related comments on there when I go back, cause they think I don’t know anything, but that might get me in trouble as well. What should I do?
As long as you keep your comments related to baseball
You will be fine.

Brooklynettes sounds kinda girly
Why do we have to change the name? Why can’t we just be the Brooklyn Nets? I know OKC changed everything, but when the Hornets moved, they kept their name.
He's saying that "Brooklyn Nets" sound like "Brooklynettes"...
You can be sure that any non-Nets fan will be calling us that….
But it would be no different than, say, “Skankees” and “Mutts”… Any name can be distorted to something inflammatory.
Which is why Brooklyn Knights
Becomes Brooklynites.

Now that you explained it
I get it now. I don’t like that other fans would do that, but I still don’t want the name changed. I like Brooklyn Nets. Maybe a logo change. We’ve done that before, but not a name change.
team names that imply the group have a WNBA feel to them...
The Jazz
The Heat
The Magic
The Thunder
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
why because they are singular
the jazz comes from when the team started in new orleans as a tribute to the jazz-influenced culture
the heat used to be called the “floridians” who wants to be called the “floridians”. texans is the only state that can get away with that
magic. yeah not much to say about that
i mean they couldnt keep supersonics and what is there in oklahoma to name a team after "tornadoes", "great plains", "farmers"also the wizards being change from bullets even after “gungate” is still blah and the clippers? wtf is that? an ode to barbershops?

the pistons works well, but won’t when either A) the automobile industry completely disappears from Detroit, B) the new owners move the team.
houston rockets, orlando magic (disney, btw Brook’s destiny to play there), the 76ers…
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
Ummm Wait.
So. Regardless if it’s Nets or not. They are going to call it “Brooklyn” While they are still in Newark, NJ for another year?
Am I missing something?
the last thing the nets should do is associate themselves with the islanders again. and i don’t think i’ll be rooting for anything other than the “nets”
Why?
The last time Nets and Islanders played together, Nets had their most successful stretch in their history, and Islanders made deep runs into the playoffs almost every year (even though they were a very new franchise playing in an old league).
Win-win for both teams.

Someone mentioned on teh forum
That we should grab “Kings” since they’re moving and changing their name to Royals. Brooklyn Kings sounds way more attractive than Brooklyn Nets, but we’d completely lost connection to Jersey and our heritage. So, I guess, Brooklynettes :)

the jazz uni's are semi retro
it’s more of a modern spin on their old jerseys. like the celtics, spurs, bulls, blazers, etc. those teams have all been wearing essentially the same uniforms for decades.
Please don't let it be Brooklyn New Yorker's...
That would be ineffably lame…
btw, 14K for an Islanders game would be more than enough!
even if the NHL won't approve of a long-term solution at Barclay's...
they should check the home attendence numbers…. selling out Barclay’s would be an improvement for the team….

Need to contact league 2 years in advance to update/add jerseys...
…and two years ago, they still didn’t know if the arena was going to be made…
So I doubt they have anything planned for next year jersey-wise.

Islanders won't be comming
If the arena can’t fit them, then they won’t be playing there. Also, it’s likely that Wang won’t give up his ownership. Then again, I don’t follow hockey that much, so I don’t know if he will still be their owner. Some have suggested that there is a place along the Sagtikos Pkwy where an abandoned hospital stands that will work well for the Islanders with the way it’s served off that highway. I doubt that the Islanders will be comming to Brooklyn, and I still have my doubts with the Nets as well.

What is your beef on this? Why are you so defensive and even hostile on the Nets moving to Brooklyn, MrDollarBills? Do you own any stock with FCR or happen to work with him? Let’s have time tell us what will really happen and not from some fanatic such as yourself. As long as it’s not completed, it can still be stopped. Just look at a website such as the Twin Towers Alliance as an example of a group that is still fighting for what is right to build on the WTC site despite the so-called progress to horrible thing known as the Freedom Tower. Last time, I checked, neither DDDB, NLG, or the AYR shut down despite what’s going one, so they are still fighting this right now. As for the Kings losing their name when moving to Anaheim, they are only doing this because they are playing near LA and there is an NHL team with that name, and according to professional sports frachise rules, no team can use the nickname of an already existing sports franchise if moving to a city with a team that already has that nickname, and the same rule goes for saying that no two teams can have the same nickname if being part of the same league.

your doubts?
Please enlighten us with your sources that told you to have doubts about the nets in Brooklyn. The mayor of Newark maybe?

I will just say this
I have already stated a number of possibilities that can still stop what’s going. These have included the latest court case being setback and ruling a stay on construction, a possible strike from the workers on pre-fab construction, hearings on new designs, the exposure of the EB-5 Program, Proky’s dealing with Mugabe ruled illegal, and plenty of other things I have not mentioned. I suggest going over to the AYR where Oder keeps tabs on what is going, and he is regarded as being the best on covering it when most of the media hasn’t.
