No one is going to stop following their favorite team because they changed logos/name. As long as they remain in the same city the fans will still be there.

So then why the need to rebrand in the first place? If fans will be fans no matter what, then why the need to rebrand? The 15% of the fan base that finds a name/logo offensive will still be fans, right?
