    The Nets are indeed headed to Brooklyn but in an interview with Fox Business News, Brett Yormark revealed that &ldquo;Brooklyn Nets&rdquo; is only the &ldquo;working title right now&rdquo; for the relocated team. While &ldquo;most people assume it&rsquo;s going tobethe Brooklyn Nets, we need to validate that&rdquo;,said Yormark, adding the team is &ldquo;about to do some (marketing) research&rdquo; and &ldquo;we&rsquo;ll figure it out shortly&rdquo;. The Nets hold trademarks for both Brooklyn Nets and New York Nets.</p>

    "So like, OMG he's like so cute!!!"
    "Heh, are you talking about m-"
    **gets cut off**</p>

    In all seriousness I'd love to see them pull a NY Giants / Jets move and continue to call the team the New Jersey Nets, despite the fact it would be financial suicide.</p>

    A certain newsroom not far from Fox's refers to FBN's "Happy Hour" as "a train wreck with boobs".</p>

    I'd like for them to still be called the New Jersey Nets, just to have a basketball team which I love still represent where I live..sadly that won't be happening. I, however, won't mind it being called "New York Nets" because that's what it used to be anyway. I'm not crazy for Brooklyn Nets.

    I mean, the Brooklynettes?</p>

    I could see why it's still a working title.</p>

    Too bad "Dodgers" is taken...</p>

    Call the dancers the Brooklynettes, call the team New York Nets, there's history in that name.</p>

    And I don't even get Fox Business so I won't make a judgment on that channel, but chick is hot.</p>

    It actually makes a lot of financial sense to go with New York Nets, think about the merchandising of the current Yankee logo. It's become more of a symbol for the city than it is for the baseball team. On the same token Brooklyn merchandise would be a great way to 'rep' Brooklyn, but the entire city of NYC can rally behind the best team in that area.</p>

    That's my same exact thoughts on the issue. I like the New York Nets alot better, sounds better, and reminds me of the championship years.</p>

    Very good idea which is why I think they will go with New York as well.</p>
