Dante Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Wow. I might have to start going to Niner games. Football game in the afternoon. Great America at night!
Doc Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 The Santa Clara 49'ers? Hey, I guess if the Giants and Jets can be HQ'ed and play in NJ and still call themselves NY...
High Mark Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 The Santa Clara 49'ers? Hey, I guess if the Giants and Jets can be HQ'ed and play in NJ and still call themselves NY... the NEW ENGLAND Patriettes? F that, We should be THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE BILLS!!!!!!!
Hossage Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I really like the Northern Hemisphere Bills. I got a chuckle out of that.
NorCal Aaron Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 The Santa Clara 49'ers? Hey, I guess if the Giants and Jets can be HQ'ed and play in NJ and still call themselves NY... Jet and Gints play in Metro NY. If the Niners move 45 miles to Santa Clara, they are 5 miles from San Jose which has a larger population than SF. There's no way they could legitimately claim SF in their moniker.
Doc Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 the NEW ENGLAND Patriettes? F that, We should be THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE BILLS!!!!!!! How about "Bills?" Kinda like how Lindsay Lohan is allegedly known as just "Lindsay?"

There's no way they could legitimately claim SF in their moniker. Sure they can. As you say the Jets & Giants play in Metro NY. The 49'ers will still be in the Bay Area, and they can still keep the SF in their moniker.
CowgirlsFan Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Wow. I might have to start going to Niner games. Football game in the afternoon. Great America at night! And the HP for all other times!!!

Conceptually, I get the whole Bay Area vibe thing, but it would be like the Bills moving to Hamilton and retaining the Buffalo place-name. As preposterous it is for the Jets and Giants to call themselves NY, NYC is 12 miles away and still by far the most populous city in that region.

I betcha that if the stadium is ever built they will still be the SF 49ers...unless SC ponies up some $$$ to get them to make the switch. Face it, SC may have the population but SF has the prestige, the glitz, the history, the Chef....(I could go on, but we'll stop with Chef Jim).
NorCal Aaron Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I betcha that if the stadium is ever built they will still be the SF 49ers...unless SC ponies up some $$$ to get them to make the switch. You're probably right. But remember, the Chef is a johnny come lately to Yerba Buena.
AxelRipper Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I do believe the raiders were still named the Oakland Raiders when they played in LA, were they not? or you could always do stuff like the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim did...

No, they were the L.A. Raiders http://www.fansedge.com/Los-Angeles-Raider...3270308_BW.html

The 49ers haven't moved to another state, let alone another country.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 So move there... big deal. If any team needs a new stadium, it's probably the 49ers.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Didn't Ed Roski lose a lot of money over the past couple years? Don't hear much about that L.A. thingy anymore.
