New Orleans Oracles

as a new name. It has a nice ring to it. what do you think?

[SpacegrassParticipant]

The Jazz need to give New Orleans back the Jazz" name so they give Charlotte back the "Hornets" name.  Let Utah come up with a new name , hell what would even be a good name for Utah?

Utah Fighting Mormons

it sounds ayt NO oracles will they change thier uniforms?

[Memphis MadnessParticipant]

New Orleans Whorenets. Just change the spelling. Can’t wait to see their cheerleaders.

Toronto Huskies sounds like a good appropriate name. I hope the NBA is leaning towards a repeat of Seattle where if they move a team then they let the city hold onto the name and the history.

Not sure about the Utah Raptors. I think they should get a brand new name like the Thunder did.

If I was in the business of assigning names I’d do it like this;

Utah Raptors

Toronto Huskies

New Orleans Jazz

Charlotte Hornets

Each name makes sense from a geographical and historical standpoint and they all sound pretty awesome too.

[omphalosParticipant]

Well, the Toronto Huskies was the name of the Toronto team in the forerunner for the NBA, the Basketball Association of America.

As far as Utah, I think Raptors is appropriate because the Utahraptor is famous from the Jurassic Park films and is obviously from Utah. Also, I couldn’t think of any other name to suit Utah based on what I know of the place that would be appropriate for a franchise nickname.

What about the Utah Avalanche? With all the snow and mountains the state has that wouldn’t be too bad. Then again can you have the same name as a NHL team?

Or what about the Utah Flames or Utah Blaze. I heard there seem to be a lot of forest fires in the Southern Utah.
