G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 In case anyone missed it (at this point I'm sure I'm one of six who didn't) the Wizards have announced that they're going back to the proper red, white and blue color scheme for their uniforms beginning in the 2011-2012 season. This is great and everything, but we need to change the name. So, saying that Bullets is unfortunately out (which I'm 99% positive it is) what are some ideas for a new name for our professional basketball team? One idea I had awhile back on WE was Soldiers. Bad ass enough. Manly enough. And Nation's Capitol enough. I mean choose your logo: An idea that Kevin and Rock have been pushing on their show the last couple of days is Regulators. I like that as well. So it needs to be something bad ass and manly and DCish. And iff you think of something, before you post it ask yourself "Would this work with a WNBA team?" Again, Bullets is out of the question. As much as the team name should be Bullets, as much as Ted would go down as a legend if he renamed the team back to Bullets, it is sadly not going to happen.

The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Zephyrs. I like the idea of going way way back. The Zephyrs were their original name when they were in Chicago because Zephyrus was the God of the Winds and the city being called 'the windy city'. I think it can fit in DC because the winds of change are in town now that we have a competent owner and John Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yeah I feel you. And I thought about that. It'd probably be in my top 5. I mean I love the history part. And that makes it work. But it's just not DC enough. It's kind of WNBAish too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 People try to match the names up too much. It could be the Washington Pirates for all I care. Just win damnit! It can't be worse than wizards... like we are the official team of LARPers and Fantasy MMO players everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nationals, and Capitals never won jack. The Bullets won one title in 30+ years. How about we build a franchise with great players who win. Not sure how Bullets is any more related to DC than the Wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Bullets has history. Google it. And of course we want to win. You're preaching that to me? Really? I'm talking about the name here though. Wizards sucks. Period. It's an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them since I was born and all they do is lose. Capitals color change got them a first round exit in the playoffs. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipwhich Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Well thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Bye. OK well as long as you know BULLETS history is in BALTIMORE. So what's in a name? Bullets has no relevance to DC, just as Wizards...other than Washington begins with a W. (Not meaning WIN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 OK well as long as you know BULLETS history is in BALTIMORE. The Baltimore Bullets only existed for 10 years. The Washington Bullets existed for 24 years. Seems like quite a bit of history in WASHINGTON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 If "Bullets" won't fly, neither will a logo that involves a gun....for more obvious reasons than the one we were fed when the team became the Wizards, mind you. The Washington Metros....The Washington Filibusters....The Washington Kenyans....The Washington Wingnuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
