I know some fans may not like this, but my preference will likely have its odds stacked against it. I prefer to see the team renamed the New York Nets as they were originally as an ABA team. Yes I know, the name was misused to some degree when the team played on Long Island. But I always contend the "New York" sports moniker refers to the city, not the state. The Islanders will have the strange designation because of their second part of the name (I wish it was "Long Island (insert second part of name)". It wouldn't work well to have "Long Island Islanders".

The Mets and Yankees both represent New York City as do the Jets and Giants. This is despite the NFL teams playing at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. The Brooklyn Dodgers should be in my opinion the only pro team with the "Brooklyn" designation. I prefer a unity of Big Apple sports teams by name. The Yankees have the most storied history of all, yet they don't choose to use "Bronx" in their team name, right? That's my point.

Perhaps New York Nets would work nicely. Many will still know that they're in Brooklyn one way or the other.

As a resident of Brooklyn, and a Nets fan from my former days as a NJ resident, I think the name should be Brooklyn. However, I am not wed to the name "Nets" I think we can come up with something better than that. Maybe the Brooklyn "You Talkin to Mes!"

How about the New York Wankees. I'm tired of the whole "have to rhyme with Jets" thing.

The Yankees argument above about not being the "Bronx" Yankees holds no weight because Bronx annexed before Yankee Stadium was bulit. While Brooklyn had the Dodgers in the pre-ebbts park while Brooklyn was still its own city. Therefore in my opinion they should be the Brooklyn Nets to pay tribute to the fact that the 'former city' was a sports town.

I say screw NY and keep the NJ moniker. If the Giants can call themselves the NY Giants why not the NJ Nets in Brooklyn? It'll never happen, but i can dream.

They should be the "Fishing Nets"? Or how about "Flushing Nets"? That's in New York, isn't it?!
