Apparently there is now a band called Miami Dolphins.
http://themiamidolphins.bandcamp.com/I can actually get behind the band Utah Jazz- the days of NBA franchises moving to new locations, yet keeping team names lead to alotta odd mashups- Memphis Grizzlies, LA Lakers, etc. Utah Jazz is the pinnacle of opposites.
Anyway, I guess you can just swipe band names nowadays- Creem, Creamers, Prince, etc.- so why not just lift a pro-sports franchise name while you're at it for your side project:
New York Yankees
Dallas Cowboys
Montreal Canadians
Chicago Bulls
Arizona Diamondbacks
Michigan Stags
Ft. Wayne Zollner Pistons
Washington Bullets
Kansas City Scouts
