What If the Nets Were Swamp Dragons | Brooklyn Nets News

The Brooklyn Nets are turning back the clock for their 60th anniversary with wild theme nights—including a near-miss “Swamp Dragons” identity that almost redefined the franchise three decades ago. In a bizarre twist, the team nearly voted to rename themselves the Swamp Dragons in 1992 to boost sagging attendance, narrowly failing only because the team itself vetoed the idea. Now, fans can celebrate this lost history with free Swamp Dragon bobble-heads on January 29 against the Clippers—no jerseys, but plenty of nostalgia. It’s a fun, quirky chapter in Nets lore that imagines what if they’d gone full swamp monster instead of staying “Nets.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
