Why are the names of CBA teams in China not as popular as NBA?
This year's CBA men's basketball regular season has entered the fifteenth round, and the strength of each team has basically appeared, but have you noticed any changes in CBA teams this year? Compared with last year, have some teams changed their names? Has it become strange? Why? In order to give you a brief explanation of the business operation mode behind the team renaming.
Taking Shandong Team as an example, it shows that when the 1996 Men's Basketball League was formally established, the first teams were all elderly people now, and the team name of Shandong Team has changed seven times in the league history of more than 20 years. Shandong team was originally named "Buffalo" by Sports Bureau, and later changed to Yong 'an, Kingston, Gold, Expressway and this year's Wang Xi, with an average use time of less than four years. Coincidentally, how much do you know about the real name of the men's basketball team that you are familiar with now? Bayi is actually called Rocket, Qingdao is actually called Double Eagle, and Tongxi is called Sheng Da. Guangdong, a strong team that fought 15, is actually called South China Tiger. Aren't you used to it? Some friends may say that sponsorship has changed, yes, but why has the NBA changed so little over the years? This is caused by two factors.
