'Brooklyn New Yorkers' Is a Terrible, Terrible NBA Team Name
The Atlantic Wire

Nets Daily, which broke the story, notes attorneys from the Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton "sought trademark protection for the name, "Brooklyn New Yorkers", three logos featuring either a basketball or a basketball player and the Brooklyn Bridge and even a slogan, "We Come to Play." In each case, the trademark sought is for clothing including among other things: shirts, jerseys, jackets, athletic uniforms, headbands, hats, caps and footwear." Additionally, the domain name brooklynnewyorkers.com was recently registered through a proxy service.
Basketball fans struggled to contain their aesthetic outrage.

NoLandGrab: By comparison, that logo almost makes the arena attractive.
