The Golden State Warriors have been nicknamed the “Dub Dubs” or simply “Dubs” for a few years now. There are a few theories as to how this nickname started. The most popular theory is that it was started by former Warrior player Rick Barry during the 2014-2015 season. Barry, who is known for his unique style of speaking, called the Warriors “the Dubs” on a radio show and the name stuck.
The Golden State Warriors have been officially nicknamed “Dubs” for nearly 30 years. The name was an informal nickname given the team during the 1979 season, when the Warriors’ home court was San Francisco’s Cow Palace, which had a banner hanging from its rafters reading “California State Livestock Show, 1894-1984.” The “Dub” in the banner, which stood for “double,” reflected the double-decker arrangement of the original arena. The better-known nickname, “Warriors,” was adopted by the team in the 2011-12 season.
The Golden State Warriors have been commonly referred to as the “Dub Nation” or simply “the Dubs” since the early 2010s. The term “Dub” is short for “Dublin,” the city in the Bay Area where the Warriors are based. While the team was originally from San Francisco, they moved to Oakland in 1971. However, in 2019, the Warriors will be moving back to San Francisco.
