Pesonally, I thought changing the name of Bullets was ridiculous, as I don't think changing the name made any difference in the crime that happens in DC.

That was just an excuse the owner used to be able to change the name. Crime stayed the same. The only difference was perhaps because the colors were mostly red and white the owner saw gang members purchasing the products, but thats no different then the NY Yankees making hats in different colors to accomodate those individuals. Or how about all the other teams that have gang members using their logos.
