New Jersey Nets to Change Their Name in Brooklyn
Asylum
This item about the renaming of the New Jersey Nets includes some suggestions:
The Brooklyn Brooklynites: Jersey, this one goes out to you. You're our halfwit brothers, and just because you moved, it doesn't mean we haven't forgotten you're from Jersey. Seriously, you're going to need to work the word "Brooklyn" into your name as many times as possible to convince us.
The Brooklyn Martys: Come on, you know that Marty Markowitz would cream his jeans (and probably put up $2 mil of his own money) to get the team named after his Penguin-looking ass.
The Brooklyn Bulldozers: This team is so caught up in corporate greed, we wouldn't be surprised if their home-game shirts read "Brooklyn Barclays Target Pier One Saks Häagen Dazses."
The Brooklyn Freddys: Not "Freddy" as in "Freddy Krueger," although that would make for some kick-ass logos. Rather, we're talking about Freddy's, named one of the best bars in America, and a victim of the Atlantic Yards eminent domain decision.
The Brooklyn Rats: We'll tell Bruce it's named after him, but we all know it's really named for Brooklyn's most lovable critter.
