Oh, I know the history of all these games. Just trying to show the OP that there are no shortage of things in the world bearing a moniker that perhaps doesn't reflect its current state of being as well as some other moniker could in a linguistic sense, but was stuck with out of respect for tradition, or because it sounded more marketable, or for whatever reason.
L.A. Lakers anyone?
The Lakers moved to LA from Minnesota and kept the name, same with the Colts when they moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis. The St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles, and the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens ... then the Browns were reborn in Cleveland.
