Excellent question. Columbus Blue Jackets has got to go, both the city name and the nickname.

Many nicknames are troublesome in today’s politically correct world.

There are many examples.

Boston Celtics is offensive to the actual Celtic people. Fighting Irish of Notre Dame is similarly offensive.

Green Bay Packers is offensive to real meat packers.
Pittsburgh Steelers is offensive to real steel workers.
Dallas Cowboys is offensive to real cowboys.

All the animal nicknames are offensive to PETA types.

Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders are all troublesome as they endorse criminal behavior.

Philadelphia 76ers and New England Patriots harken back to the American revolution, which is verboten to these radicals in today’s climate.

Portland Trail Blazers harkens back to the settlement of the American West, which similarly will offend the politically correct crowd.

I’m sure there are other troublesome names too.

I have only recently come across Tik Tok and because of the relationship to China. One clip I saw was of a 20-something white chick who was very anti-white. Among her screen phrases (or whatever the proper term) was “We steal from black culture every day.” Therefore, St. Louis Blues has to go. Blues music for a mostly white sport? The Tik Tok babe would be incensed.
