Never heard of them until just now.
That name The Knickerbockers, may have been their first mistake; It’s four syllables, just too long and too abstract.
Many might have thought: “What IS a knickerbocker anyway?

A great name. Knickerbockers are New Yorkers who trace their ancestry back to the city's original Dutch settlers.

“What IS a knickerbocker anyway?

A Knickerbocker is a member of an NBA team that hasn't won a championship in almost 50 years.

It is also a long defunct brand of beer whose taste had often been compared to weasel piss.
