[quote=Anonymous]I don't fault the team for choosing a bland name. I think it's understandable that, in an era where racial/ethnic awareness is evolving very rapidly, a team would be concerned about choosing a name that it might come to appreciate 5-10 years down the road is insensitive in a way they did not realize at the time. My understanding is the team decided not to go with Warriors or with any name using the word "Red" because they were concerned that it still might be too closely associated with Native American culture. But they could have done a lot more to come up with an good logo, good uniforms, etc., and showed some enthusiasm for the change as an organization. This was a marketing fail from top to bottom.[/quote]
