If the Golden State Warriors decided to change their name to something that is more geographically based or culture based, what name do you think would fit? As for the Golden State within the name, can stay, unless you think otherwise.

I know this will never happen but I'm doing this just for fun.

Actually alot of people think they will change their name to the San Francisco Warriors once they move back to San Francisco. The last few sentences of the article is owner speak for they probably will change the name back if the money and marketing opportunites are greater..

Warriors to build new arena, move back to S.F. - SFGate

It would be a no brainer to use the SF name.

They were the San Francisco Warriors originally... It was more out of respect to the market that's been filling up the Oracle Arena for 30 years that they didn't just keep the name despite being less than 15 miles outside of the City.

What's the target date for completion of the stadium? I am wondering if there will be a day when we will have Giants / Warriors / 49ers play in SF on the same day (not sure if that is possible though, as I believe the NBA regular season starts after MLB season ends).

Wouldn't ever happen.

49ers will be in Santa Clara next season and the Warriors wouldn't be in SF until 2017 at the very earliest.

New renders released of the proposed arena in SF on piers 30-32: Revised Renderings Released for Proposed Warriors Waterfront Arena - Mindboggling Reveals - Curbed SF

If they move to SF, I would be surprised if they didn't change the name back. Isn't fair to Oakland, especially since so much of their history was there, but it is what it is...

Personally I'd just leave it as Golden State because so much history occurred in Oakland. Calling them the Bay Area Warriors [to exclude other areas of California like LA] just sound off. San Francisco is the most logical name change for them once they move.

It's less fair to Oakland that the county will be paying for the Oracle renovations for another decade or so, after the team will supposedly have vacated the premises. Not to mention the loyalty fans have shown the current location all these years. But as you said, it is what it is...that's why public funds should never be used for private sports enterprises.

They should be called the San Francisco Warriors when they move to the city in 2017
