Anaheim Angels name change?

They are wanting to switch to the Los Angeles Angels.

They should change it to The Montreal Angels.

Growing up less than 30 minutes away, the Angels have always been my favorite (along with the Dodgers).

I always liked the sound of California Angles better. Oh well, it doesn't really matter what the local geographical portion of the name is ...

WTF how are they anywhere close to LA?

I am so sick of these teams that are nowhere close to the "cities" they represent.

Claiming the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was one idea. There are already butt in the seats I dont understand why he wants to change the name...other than the merchandise sales it may bring in.
Personally I think its lame and they should go back to being the California Angels.

that would be confusing if they do.

Well, I think it goes back to their original name. Plus, Anaheim used to be in LA County and still is fairly close to the line (and is only about 25 miles from downtown). I'm sure it really comes down to marketing.

BIG B

Lame. The people of LA aren't too happy, esp. Dodger fans. Oh well.

They should just be the California Angels, and forget the new names...

Actually it's the new name is The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim which now surpasses as The Mighty Ducks Of Anaheim as the stupidest team name in sports. Must be an Anaheim thing.

The name is way too long.

LETS GO YANKEES !!!!!!!!! LETS GO YANKEES !!!!!!! :1orglaugh

if they call themselves the L.A. Angels all it will do is tarnish the team by shaming it with all the hahahahahahas n beaners from L.A.
