Will Sacramento Kings Change Their Name?

[Mr KLC]

Sacramento television station News10/KXTV reported Wednesday that a lawyer who represents the Maloofs received an application on March 3 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

That application gives the lawyer the exclusive rights to "Los Angeles Royals", "Anaheim Royals", "Anaheim Royals of Southern California" and the "Orange County Royals."

The lawyer, Scott Hervey, didn't want to say if he had done this on behalf of the Maloofs.

"I don't discuss client relationships," Hervey said.

Before moving to Kansas City, the basketball team played in Rochester and Cincinnati and were called the Royals.

It would make sense with the NHL having the LA Kings.

Football team maybe?

The LA area does not need another NBA team.

Why would Sacramento change their name to "Los Angeles"....they're not LA, they're Sacramento.

I have a better idea for the franchise....MOVE!

Restart somewhere else where people actually want a hoops team and give a shit.

Move them to Vegas.

Move them to Vegas.

Vegas will never get a major pro franchise. The MLS wouldn't even touch that city.

They should though. The sports betting aspect should not be an excuse for the city of Vegas not to have a pro sports team.

Vegas doesn't need a pro team

Why?

[Killer_Demo]

they should stay in sacramento. and for the douche who said nobody cares about the kings your dead wrong...its the politicians holding up the new arena talks

[Coldpimpin]

I can't believe the Kings are leaving us to live in the shadow of the Lakers. They've totally underestimated the pull of the Lakers in Southern Cal. I grew up down there and I think I saw one Clipper jersey in 25 years! Anaheim....LA.....it's all one big city with no real boundaries.
