The one thing I hope is keeping the As name and colors in Oakland, similar to when the Expos became the Nationals when moved to DC.
The A's are about to be in their 4th city. The colors and team do not belong to Oakland, and the City of Oakland has done nothing to earn the history, colors, and Athletics name from the franchise.

The As used to have very good attendance when they were winning, but terrible ownership has not helped.
Plus they have been in Oakland since 68 which is longer than the Expos (now Nationals) Brewers, Padres, Royals, Rangers, Mariners, etc
Retired numbers are normal, look at the Braves with Spahn

I agree with you about the fact it is the fourth city for the franchise, but I would also say that of those four cities the As are most identifiable with Oakland and the franchise has easily had its most success there.
Plus, I personally think that Las Vegas should rebrand to something specific toward the city. Aces would be the obvious choice if not of the conflict with the WNBA team. I’ve always thought that “Black Jacks” would be a cool name and offer some interesting marketing ideas.

The Nats are pretty weird when it comes to claiming history. They fly WS flags that the old Washington Senators (now the Twins) won because it was a “DC championship,” or something to that effect.
