Doesn't matter, they can just relocate 500 miles away and adopt a totally new "historical" name, right?
Such a beautiful, passionate sports culture. So many rich traditions and communities. Some American sports clubs are up to 20 years old! Even Disney™ has their own sports team!

It doesn't even matter at this point. American sports are the pure distilled essence of memery.
Cheese hats, giant fingers and fighting over baseballs.

Yeah, much worse than dive grass jerseys being covered with corporate logos.
YESSSSS

Auto racing culture in the U.S. is especially large in Indiana, even if I personally detest turnleft and danicamemecar and don't consider them sports. A pacer is a pace-car for those events, so for Indiana it makes sense

In MLB this works for:
Baltimore Orioles (relates to Lord Baltimore in a tangential way so I'll allow it)
Kansas City Royals (American Royal)
Detroit Tigers (is related to war history in Michigan)
Texas Rangers (as in the Texas Rangers)
Houston Astros (space program and NASA)
Oakland Athletics (Athletics baseball club in Philadelphia)
Atlanta Braves (Tammany history)
Milwaukee Brewers (Milwaukee beer)
Los Angeles Dodgers (Brooklyn trolley dodging)
San Diego Padres (Spanish mission)
Nothing else really works. Texas Rangers is probably the most solid historical name in baseball.
>>64567751
>Red Sox
doesn't count if the history the name refers to is self-referential
that's not historically significant enough

>>64567253
The baseball team I'm a fan of was founded in 1876, which is before ManU, Liverpool, etc. were founded.

Minnesota Twins: named after the twin cities

How the fuck is that historical? The fact that there are two large cities adjacent to one another?
>>64569342
If you havent been there it's hard to explain. Like when you talk about Minneapolis or St Paul it's a couple thing.

What professional teams changed their name on relocation? I can only think of the Colts. I don't know everything about the drudge of the NBA like the Pelicans and Bobcats
>>64569724
Super Sonics, Titans... Maybe more?
>>64569724
Atlanta Thrashers - > Winnipeg Jets
Montreal Expos - > Washington Nationals
Cleveland Browns - > Baltimore Ravens (Now both teams exist)
Winnipeg Jets - > Phoenix Coyotes (Now both teams exist)
San Jose Earthquakes - > Houston Dynamo (Now both teams exist)
>>64569745
Ah. Oilers/Titans is what I actually meant cause the Colts kept their name
>Buyern
Yeah, also quite some history.

NFL now:
New England Patriots (revolutionary history)
Buffalo Bills (Buffalo Bill Cody)
Baltimore Ravens (Poe)
Pittsburgh Steelers (Steel industry)
Indianapolis Colts (horse breeding in Maryland)
Kansas City Chiefs (this one is a fucking stretch, but apparently it was a reference to historical Indian presence in the area, which makes no fucking sense because indians lived all over the place)
Philadelphia Eagles (New Deal)
Dallas Cowboys (obvious)
Minnesota Vikings (nordic heritage)
Green Bay Packers (Indian Packing Company)
New Orleans Saints (when the saints go marching in)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (pirates)
San Francisco 49ers (gold rush)

>>64570352
>Kansas City Chiefs (this one is a fucking stretch, but apparently it was a reference to historical Indian presence in the area, which makes no fucking sense because indians lived all over the place)
The Chiefs mascot is from native americans, but the name is actually from H Roe Bartle a politician who's nickname was the Chief.
>>64572070
Most people don't know how important the political machine in KC was at one time so they won't get that reference, but you're right about their name
