New Brisbane NBL Team

[Heardy_101]

Just read on ABC Grandstand that Brisbane are rejoining the NBL.

Doesn't say if it will be the Bullets or a completely new team.

Brisbane will join in the 2015/2016 season

Gotta make it the bullets. You'll get a lot more support from the old Brisbane fans.

Boti Nagy wrote an good article about this where he says...

"For what it's worth, I have been bombarded with Brisbane fans imploring I go to bat for retention of the Bullets name due to its already high recognition rate.

Just their passion makes me think that is the way to go."

Please tell me that's your idea and not official.....

I would hope they'd go Bullets. Show that stupid franchise Melbourne United 'What not to do'.

If Melbourne United don't get the fans on board this year (word on the Basketball grapevine is they won't and currently aren't) then expect a return to the Tigers name by next season, especially if a second Melbourne team returns as well, personally I think either the Dragons will make a comeback or the South East Melbourne Magic will. Both have a large support base wanting this to happen.

Bullets or stay dead.

They should never have changed, i know a lot of people who have ditched the club as a result of the stupidity of the owners.

Coach has resigned after one game.

Never ends.

They bought D Mac back from the grave.

 

[PerthNameChange]

Has to be called the Bullets

 

[Heardy_101]

Yeah it will be. They brought back the Kings so the Bullets will get reborn as well.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Will they follow Washington and rebrand as the Wizards rather than the Bullets? The Briz Wiz?!?!?

Love that.

However must pick at it....

Make the Magic "South East Melbourne" and Victoria "North Melbourne.

Just out of interest, the Victoria Giants were a rebranded Victoria Titans, which was the result of the merger between the North Melbourne Giants and the SE Melbourne Magic. SE Melbourne as born out of the Eastside (Nunawading) Spectres and the Southern Mebourne (St Kilda) Saints.

Geelong probably won't come back but have more of a chance than a third reincarnation of Gold Coast.

Newcastle definately a chance in the next few years and Tassie has already been talked about by the NBL before.

 

[Heardy_101]

Would also like to see the South Dragons come back.

 

[Heardy_101]

Just read on the SMH website (it's dated but still) that the NBL want four new teams for the 2015/2016 season.

Brisbane obviously have been announced, NBL have said they want Tasmania.

 

[peternorth]

i hope they name the Tassie team something different and original. ideas include:

devils
tigers

 

[fumbler]

A one time Tassie had Hobart and Launceston in the NBL.
