How about the San Francisco 69ers?
To: CAWats
"she said they should not take the ``49er brand name with them.''"
Since when does the city government own any brand name? Would people agree to ban Coca-Cola from using its brand name if they moved out of Atlanta?

She has no power to do any such thing, and sounds like an idiot for even saying it. She's just miffed that San Francisco isn't getting a free new stadium - and thus no 2016 Olympic bid - out of the deal.

If the owner "owns" the name, I don't want the gov't taking it away from the owner. If the owner wishes to give up the name, then that's his business and shouldn't be Feinstein's!

Feinstein even suggested looking at legislation to block a franchise from keeping a team name when it leaves a city. It's great to see that they're working on a serious agenda for once they take power in Congress.

legislation to block a franchise from keeping a team name when it leaves a city. Funny how none of them were concerned about this when the Giants moved to San Francisco.

Makes sense. Team names should change when locations change. "New Orleans Jazz" made complete sense. "Utah Jazz".... not so much. "Baltimore Colts", of course.... "Indianapolis Colts".... neeeiiiiigggghhh.

Didn't SF just refuse to accept a battleship memorial?

Could the Green Bay Packers keep their name if they moved to San Francisco? That could be appropriate.

Does this mean the Colts have to return the name and logo to Baltimore? Think DiFi is way out of bounds here. As a Senator doesn't she have anything better to do?

I'd like to see all major corporations leave the bay area, hope BOA leaves soon.
I am sure the team owns specific names and copyrights and will keep them.
