As cities across the country vie for the next Women’s National Basketball Association team, the league quietly filed a trademark application this week for the name “Detroit Shock.”

The Shock relocated to Tulsa for the 2010 season. The team lost $2 million in their final season in the Motor City, Tom Wilson, president of Palace Sports and Entertainment, said at the time, with an economic downturn in the Detroit metropolitan area playing a role.

Pistons owner Tom Gores submitted the bid Thursday and it was announced Friday. The group includes Sheila Ford Hamp and her husband, the principal owners of the Lions; the chief executive officer and chair of General Motors Company; Hall of Famer and former NBA rookie of the Year Grant Hill; Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his wife; and others.
