    The Miami Floridians was actually an ABA team from 1968 to 1972. The Heat have actually worn their jerseys before. Their colors were pink, orange, and black. I don’t think they were very good and they were largely forgotten. They played at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Interesting that it was reconsidered for the 1988 team, it’s definitely a cool name imo. We are proud Floridians. Glad they stuck with the Heat though, so much better and fitting to how hot it gets here. The Sun Tans are terrible. An interesting alternate name for them could be the Miami Money lol, imagine that. Makes sense now with how many millionaires and some billionaires that live in Miami. And how expensive everything is here, I live here so I know lol.
