Take your NFL team to Las Vegas, fine.  But to me, the name should be changed, like the Oilers became the Titans and the Browns became the Ravens.  Las Vegas Losers would be apt, but of course never fly.  Las Vegas Gamblers would be a far more appropriate name. 

Colts remained the Colts.

Also

Cardinals remained the Cardinals (Chicago => St Louis => Arizona)
Chargers remained the Chargers (LA => San Diego => LA)
Rams remained the Rams (Cleveland => LA => St. Louis => LA)
Redskins remained the Redskins (Boston => Washington DC)

Dallas Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs
[/quote]

San Francisco Giants were the New York Giants and the New York Gothams prior to that.

Minneapolis Lakers => LA Lakers (not a lot of lakes with water in SoCal)

Atlanta Braves also played as Milwaukee Braves, Boston Braves, Boston Bees, Boston Rustlers, Boston Doves, Boston Beaneaters and Boston Red Stockings.

Baltimore Orioles also played as St. Louis Browns and Milwaukee Brewers.

Boston Red Sox started as the Boston Americans

LA Dodgers also played as Brooklyn Dodgers, Brooklyn Robins, Brooklyn Superbas, Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Brooklyn Grooms, Brooklyn Grays and Brooklyn Atlantics

Miami Marlins were the Florida Marlins

Golden State Warriors were the San Francisco Warriors...and probably will be again.

Minnesota Twins were the Washington Senators.  So were the Texas Rangers.  The Washington Nationals were the Montreal Expos.

Oakland Athletics were the Kansas City Athletics and the Philadelphia Athletics prior to that.

New York Yankees were the New York Highlanders

St. Louis Cardinals also played as St. Louis Perfectos, St. Louis Browns and St. Louis Brown Stockings

Philadelphia Phillies were the Philadelphia Quakers

Pittsburgh Pirates were the Pittsburgh Alleghenies

Houston Astros were the Houston Colt .45s

Cincinnati Reds were the  Cincinnati Redlegs and the Cincinnati Red Stockings

Cleveland Indians were the Cleveland Naps, the Cleveland Bronchos and the Cleveland Blues.

Chicago Cubs also played as the Chicago Orphans, the Colts and the White Stockings.
