Ever wondered Why is It Golden State Instead Of Oakland??

[yoinkIZback31]

Random shit but has anyone ever Wondered why the golden state warriors arent called the oakland warriors? i meant the lakers arent called the "Golden state lakers or the kings arent called the Golden state kings or the clippers arent called the golden state clippers..so why dont they just name the warriors the oakland warriors?

because an oakland warrior just sounds like a really really motivated crackhead

edit: i apologize to the whole city of oakland for the statement above.
sort of.

its probably because of the black panthers. :shrug:

"raiders" (black people steal)

ha ha!

i think maybe they wanted to avoid the oakland thing cuz oakland aint got the best rep. or maybe they wanted a bigger state wide fan base. like the minnesota timberwolves or the new jersey nets or something.

They used to be the San Francisco Warriors, they changed to Golden State when they were doing multiple stadiums each season.

Oakland Warriors sounds gay. And I wouldn't be a fan if they were called that. I would rather be a Trailblazers fan.

 

[AllCity Cinemas]

they used to be in the city, hence all the warrior throwbacks that say the city on em, ha

 

[MOREBASS]

Yeah, thats pretty much the only Warriors shit I rock. The City shit...that shit is tight as hell...

 

[yoinkIZback31]

well theyve been in the town for a while they might as well call em that.

It's all marketing -- like the California Angels, or like the dude said Minnesota t-wolves, and NJ nets. It's pretty wacky that they aren't called the California Warriors tho'. Maybe because 'Golden State' is more Nor Cal to appeal to folks up there....

 

[Defy]

its because half the revenue goes to san francisco and the other half goes to oakland. they can't really name it one or the other.

I dont know the reason, but the golden state warriors sounds gay ass fuck, They need to rep Oakland, there not the only basketball team in the state, At least the Bay Area warriors or something, But until they change there name, Im keep rooting for them Sac Town kingz
