Team will be called "Brooklyn Nets"

[QUOTE]There was never any real indication that the Nets would change their name to anything else, but Jay-Z made it official on Fox 5 Monday morning, shortly before his press conference began. When the Nets move to Brooklyn, they will become the Brooklyn Nets.

About the concerts that will open the Barclays Center, Jay-Z said, "I'm going to open the building with a concert, with a couple of concerts actually." And when asked if Beyonce would be performing at those concerts, his reply was "Maybe."

The official announcement was brief, with Jay-Z saying that he asked ownership for the name to be "Brooklyn Nets," and that there would be "definitely more than one" concert to open the arena..."maybe one maybe two, [B]I'm starting to sound like Lebron[/B]."

[B]Not everyone thinks keeping "Nets" in the name was a smart move. Darren Rovell tweeted, "Not getting rid of the name Nets is a major mistake. Chance to rebrand themselves, get attention." Scott Minto, who runs the Sports MBA program at San Diego State, said,

YES!
Thank god. I was really worried we'd get a crappy name.
Brooklyn Nets sounds dope.

That's a sweet design. Did you make it?

Yeah, the logo looks really fantastic, nicely done Id say.

Its funny that the Knicks fan Niko is living in Brooklyn, guess he has to move away from there 'cause the Nets are coming!!!

I hope the Nets go with new colors. Maybe Brooklyn Dodgers blue and white?

Saw this jersey and thought it would be a nice retro jersey they could wear.
