    So does anyone know when the Grizz are going to change their name/colors/logo for Memphis, or for that matter if they are even planning on changing it? I haven't heard anything on this.

    For a while, I heard they were going to go with the "Memphis Express." That might have been rejected, though.

    Funny, I wonder if Express would fall in the same groupas Jazz and Heat but their name actually ends with an "s" even though it'snot plural.

    I live in Memphis and there's only speculation about the name change...possibly when they move into the new FedEx areana we'll see a name change. The message board on their website is taking suggestions on the name "if" they were to change the name.

    As for the logo, it remains the same, but the color scheme has changed; less teal, more black.

    <u>Trivia</u>

    Which 7 professional sports teams (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) have names that do not end in "s"?
