That would rival “Utah Jazz” in a sense.

The Los Angeles Lakers were originally the Minneapolis Lakers. Lakers made sense in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes.

Sometimes nicknames change when teams move to another city. The Texas Rangers were originally the Washington Senators. The Minnesota Twins were the original Washington Senators franchise. The Tennessee Titans were the Tennessee Oilers for one season after moving from Houston, then adopted the Titans nickname. The Seattle Pilots became the Milwaukee Brewers when they moved to Milwaukee, adopting the old minor league team nickname for the beer city of Milwaukee.

Yep, it’s funny that the New Orleans Jazz remained the Jazz after moving to Utah.
