I believe the Jazz started out in New Orleans...which would make the name appropriate.
I’m fond of team names that are appropriate to their place of origin - be it Utah Utes, Central Michigan Chippewas, FLORIDA GATORS, etc.
I can’t stand ones that are generic and ubiquitous like Tigers or especially Bulldogs. Know what I mean? :^)

I attended the first KC Royals home game at Municipal Stadium in 1969. The Royals beat the Brewers... Sorry, I don’t recall the score, I was only 7 at the time!

Shoulda kept the name “Redskins” and changed the mascot into a fighting potato.I was going to suggest keeping the name "Redskins" and changing the name of the city.

How about the US-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs?I'm convinced that the Univerity of MO, Kansas City basketball team, "The Fighting Kangaroos" was actually named from a 1970's college issue of "The National Lampoon!"

Don’t feel too bad, though — they finally won the big one in 2018. Actually, the Blues won it all in 2019.
