its a cool nostalgic name, buts it never gunna happen like Wall said. Pollin had a very good reason for changing the name (black on black crime), and he was adamant about never going back to that namesake. He's dead now, so it would be in poor taste to go against his wishes.
pollin was also adamant about fielding awful teams and employing people who had no idea how to run an nba franchise

let abe rest in peace by ignoring all the stuff he did as an nba owner. as a regular old rich guy he was great tho
I think they can at least bring back the Bullets logo and add like a magician gloves and sparkles to the logo so it's still be the Wizards. Their current logo is :scusthov:
say breh, that's an awful idea for a logo you've cooked up there :laugh:

hey that's the best one I can think of :manny:, we can agree though that current logo needs to be replaced tho, colors don't match

Uh, yeah. That has nothing to do with his moral stance he took against the bullets nickname, pal.
who cares about his moral stance tho? he drove the franchise into the ground in almost every way possible, down to the goddamn logo and name

we dont need to honor him as some legendary owner when he was terrible at his job.

Yup

Plus they had some bad memories as the Bullets. Chris Webber and Rasheed getting introuble together. Arenas gun totting in the lockerroom.

Wait...Were they still the Bullets when Gilbert and his boy were poised to reenact westerns in the locker room?

Okay. This is really dumb.

yeah, let's pay tribute to the guy who won a title in his first year as owner and then put out some of the worst teams in league history for the next 30.

y'all are acting like the crime rate went down in dc because they became the wizards :heh:

verizon center sits on Abe Pollin Blvd, that's tribute enough. he was a great guy and a philanthropist, and an incredibly poor owner of a beloved team. changing the name back to bullets wouldn't disrespect him, it would just give fans (and apparently the star player) what they want. the horror

You have a point as far as poor managemtn goes but you are forgetting one thing: Keyword OWNER.

Meaning he can do as he pleases. Heck just be happy he kept HIS property in your town and didnt just bolt like Art Modell

keyword: FORMER owner

the funny thing about all this is that 1) they wore bullets jerseys when he was still alive :heh: 2) they still sell bullets merchandise, so apparently his memory is not so sacred that they refuse to make money off of the fact that MOST fans want the name bullets to return

i'd go so far as to say that a heavy majority of wizards fans, if given the choice between "wizards" or "bullets" gear, would go with bullets. let's poll some

I'm pretty certain I've seen Gilbert in "Bullets" uniforms tho but maybe that incident happened after the change.
