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.Â
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

From 88 to 92, the Cardinals were the Phoenix Cardinals. And in 1944, they were the Chicago/Pittsburgh Card/Steelers, thanks to wartime shortages.
The New England Patriots were the Boston Patriots for the first ten years. And the New York Jets were the New York Titans for their first three years.
The Redskins were actually known as the Braves in the first year of their existence (1932).
