Is like they asked a 8 year old who watched transformers to name them plus drawing the logos. Especially in NBA and NFL.

Also the idea of a city "buying a team" from another state blows my mind... Imagine if that was a thing in Europe, Chelsea FC, in Newcastle or Bayern München in Hamburg. Barcelona FC In Madrid... That would cause a riot lol

That's a nickname though, and also that's a national team.

We're talking about nicknames.

New York Yankees = City Nickname

Yankee Global Enterprises, LLC = official legal name

Nobody on the damn planet is going to call them Yankee global enterprises, cmon. Also Yankees is I think the only exception of a half decent name. Isn't as childish as "raptors" or whatever

I just right now called them the Yankee Global Enterpirse. Checkmate.

Also, Toronto (Raptors) is not in the US, fyi.
