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

And that is proof that the history follows the franchise, and doesn't stay in the city.
Aside from Jackie Robinson, are there any Brooklyn Dodgers or NY Giants retired #s for the Mets?

The A's have been longer in Oakland than in Philadelphia. They adopted the Green and Gold colors in Kansas City. They were historically blue and white. I think they keep the A's name and colors but if they switched back to blue and white it would be fine.
