Angel fans, please chime in...

Oakland Warriors should be the name as it gives distinction to the city as it should!

But I'm cool with the Golden State name. I can't see a single reason why it should be changed.

Because Golden Sate is the name for the state of Clifornia and with four teams, no one team represents California! The Warriors should be called Oakland or Bay area Warriors if San Fransico is also represented by them

And that's a bad thing why?. Golden State is their traditional name and I think they should stick to it. No need to change names for... what?. More recognizement for the city?. Screw it. Better keep the team's identity.

Ok. I can agree with that. But it should have happened when the franchise was moved there. Why change the name 30 years later?. It's like erasing 30 years of its history.

think that's overreacting and not seeing things clearly. The team is from Oakland and that is what it should be named

A, simple, and true statement. I concur with my friend from Perth.

How about the Greater West Coast Raiders?

Wilt was both a Philadelphia as well as a San Francisco Warrior.

Uptempo i am dredding the day Oakland moves from the Yay back to Los Angelas. Too many superbowls have been won by Bay Area teams and it would be disgusting to see The Raiders move... But i've read rumors of San Fransisco moving too. L.A 49'ers sounds kind of spooky.
