If the Golden State Warriors move to San Francisco, will they change their name to the San Francisco Warriors?

I read something on Bleacher Report that the Warriors will move.

    The move ISNT for sure. And if they do move it wont be until the 2017 - 2018 season since they got a contract with Oracle Arena that ends in 2017.

    I dont see a NEED to change the name since they are the "Golden State Warriors" Last time I checked, San Francisco was part of Golden State.

    But who knows, they might switch back to their old roots and go with the San Francisco Warriorrs.

    But again doesn't make sense because they just changed their logo and everything last season, with a new name they probably will need new jerseys and everything.

    I really hope they do make the move. GO DUBS! =)

    The Golden State has long been a well-liked designation for California and replaced into made the respectable State Nickname in 1968. that's totally appropriate considering that California's modern-day progression could properly be traced returned to the invention of gold in 1848 and fields of golden poppies could properly be seen each and each spring by using the state. The Philadelphia Warriors gained the championship interior the inaugural 1946-40 seven season of the Basketball affiliation of united states. the infantrymen moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco after the 1961-sixty two season and retained their nickname. while the group relocated around the Bay to Oakland in 1971, they have been renamed the Golden State Warriors. MANNNN that's possibly as a results of fact it in simple terms sounded good and it replaced into something the group vendors, administration cherished returned while they grew to grow to be the GS Warriors in 1971. no one has afflicted to alter it considering that then.

    I don't think so, because they are already in the bay area and they didn't name themselves after there city of Oakland. They would probably stay as the golden state warriors because they are still in the golden state. They are still in the area of there current name. But that is a great question, and my answer is just an assumption.

    There is no reason to change the name. San Francisco 48ers team moving to Santa Clara are not changing their name to Santa Clara 49ers.
