The
WNBA announced today that they are going to stop trying to get people
to remember the names of their franchises, and just go with putting
advertisements on the jerseys instead. The Phoenix Mercury are the
first team to institute the change, as they will just have the logo of
identity theft company Lifelock on the front from now on.
With
the fact that the franchises move cities so often, coupled with the
fact that they play in the WNBA, people often don't even know what city
or team name they are watching anyway. Some other team changes are the
Detroit Shock as the Summer's Eve ****, the Los Angeles Sparks as
The Pep Boys, and the Washington Mystics now known as just The McRibb.

THE NBA IS HUGE IN DENVER AND THE NUGGETS ARE A HUGE ASSET TO THE CITY. WE WOULD BE A GREAT CITY TO HOST A NEW WNBA TEAM EXPANSION. COLORADO TORNADOES OR DENVER GOLD....I ALSO HEARD THAT THEY WOULD BE A GREAT ATTRACTION FOR FANS OF DENVER TEAMS.
