Think about it with another team. If the Steelers were to change their name and logo does anyone think that would be a good thing for them? A hardcore passionate fan base isn't going to forgive and forget overnight.

You certainly have a point there. I would imagine that the level of backlash would depend on the perceived level of effort from ownership in protecting the name.
IE if Snyder and company simply rolled over and just went...
Then I would imagine the backlash would be pretty substantial. Another factor would be how fans would view the aesthetic changes to the name, logo, uniforms, etc should a name change come to pass.
