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.

Yup. Imagine the friggin Yankees changing? Not only would the facilitation of the change cost money, but like Matty says it isnt even guaranteed that the new brand would be a success.
