Only cool if he's going to move the team to Brooklyn, like one of the other bidders.

How genius is that? Maybe better four or five years ago, better to hit the NYC/Brooklyn hype, but still - how much merchandise are the frickin' Brooklyn Nets gonna sell?

milo if you lived in the part of Brooklyn where they're talking of putting a stadium, you'd realize how ridiculous/crazy/bad an idea it is.

That's the joy of being ~3k miles away - I can yell "great idea!" without ever having to deal with the consequences. Total win-win.

My thoughts: crisp design overall, long overdue move away from late 80s/early 90s comic-booky looking garbage. Do not really like basketball-as-logo, although I like the way they did the ball.
