Franchises you most want back

[Majingir]

Of all the franchises that have relocated, which ones do people want back the most? I made this thread dealing with more than 1 team cause I know Sonics are the huge fave of all sports, but I wanted to list other teams who've been gone from their pro sports league that people might want back too.

Some ones(like KC Kings,New Jersey Nets ect.) obviously can't use the name they used to have for obvious reasons. If you're voting in the "other" category, don't do it if that city already has a team back(EX-Houston Oilers(came back as Texans),Winnipeg Jets(came back as Jets),Minnesota North Stars(came back as Wild) and so on)


NHL:
Quebec Nordiques
Hartford Whalers
Atlanta Thrashers

NBA:
Cincinnati Royals
Buffalo Braves
Kansas City Kings
Vancouver Grizzlies
Seattle Supersonics
New Jersey Nets

NFL:
Los Angeles Raiders

MLB:
Brooklyn Dodgers
Montreal Expos

Even though it was before my time, I'd love for there to be another basketball franchise in Cincinnati.

I vote a return of the Sonics to Seattle in the NBA,
but only because tomorrows youth will be confused by these classic song lyrics if there's no team in Seattle.


It's ironic, I had the blunt she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics

Expos and Dodgers back to Brooklyn though with the Dodgers i'd only want it to be a series against the Giants or something like that as a one off.

Whalers!

Even though they played when I was too young to remember, I will gladly give up my Bruins fan hood for the Whalers. The energy in Hartford would be so much better. Just to hear Brass Bonanza once live would be enough.

I would like to see the Dodgers back in Brooklyn as well. As long as they stayed in the NL, I would root for them.

I'm okay with the (Showtime) Lakers in LA, but the rest of this list is pretty much a "co-sign" for me...

I'd just take the Clippers back from LA to Buffalo (Braves) and then I (personally) would be on the "All Good" list for this...

Nice topic, OP!

I want Buffalo to have the Braves back

Couldn't give a **** about anybody else and that won't change unless I move

Re: Franchises you most want back

1. Sonics - They never should have lost their team.

2. Raiders - They just fit better there.

3. Nordiques - Seems wrong that Quebec doesn't have an NHL team.
