major Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 The Brooklyn Nets have done an awesome job with their choice of colors and logo. Classy! To check it out go to http://www.nba.com/nets/brooklyn/hello_brooklyn.html
ajzepp Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 So help me out here...were the Nets always considered a NYC metro area team like the Jets and Giants? Or were they strictly a Jersey fan base? If the latter, was a percentage of the fan base composed of New Yorkers?
The Poojer Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 really love this t-shirt design The Brooklyn Nets have done an awesome job with their choice of colors and logo. Classy! To check it out go to http://www.nba.com/nets/brooklyn/hello_brooklyn.html
Marv's Neighbor Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I can't imagine many Brooklyn residents affording the NBA Ticket Prices.
apuszczalowski Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I like how in the video the word Loyalty pops up on the screen, cause if you look up the word Loyal in the dictionary, I'm sure it would include Proffessional sports teams relocating and changing the name of the city they are from
KD in CA Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Choice of colors? What colors? All I saw was an ugly black "B" logo.
GOBILLS78 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I can't imagine many Brooklyn residents affording the NBA Ticket Prices. To be fair, I'm willing to bet NBA ticket prices are right there with baseball as far as cheap tickets go. Not uncommon to find tickets under $10 -- or even $5 -- on StubHub.
The Poojer Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 i know i can(and do) buy the $10 seats for Sixers games from the Sixers themselves...stubhub you can get tickets depending on the game for as little as 1.00...i paid 1.78 per a couple weeks ago for 6 tickets to the sixers and raptors from stubhub To be fair, I'm willing to bet NBA ticket prices are right there with baseball as far as cheap tickets go.

Buftex Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) So help me out here...were the Nets always considered a NYC metro area team like the Jets and Giants? Or were they strictly a Jersey fan base? If the latter, was a percentage of the fan base composed of New Yorkers? I worked for the Nets for almost a year...ticket sales...a job less important than the popcorn salesmen in those days...part of the problem was, they never had a strong fan base in Jersey, or New York...back in the day, the only time the Nets were a draw was when Jordan, Magic, Bird, Barkley, etc would come through...a pain in the ass to get to, but a cheaper way for NY are hoops fans to see the big names, than trying to buy tickets at MSG. It would likely be much the same for the New Jersey Devils, if they hadn't had so much success...they don't draw all that well, all things considered. I kinda like the simplicity of their new look. Their new building is gonna be gorgeous, and is sure to shake up the landscape of the Park Slope area in Brooklyn...I think they will do well there...Brooklyn ain't what it used to be...when I lived in NYC (mid-late 80's) nobody went to Brooklyn...it is gentrified, and affluent these days, in some parts. New Yorkers are very trendy, it is kind of the nature of the city...it will be interesting to see if the Chis Rocks, and Spike Lee's of NY, so associated with the Knicks, will show their faces at Brooklyn Nets games. I am hoping to try to see the Celtics play there next season. Edited May 2, 2012 by Buftex

I dont' have any interest in the NYC teams, but I have to say I think the "Brooklyn Nets" sounds very cool.
