Is Cardinals copyrighted? Afterall when they were in St . Louis they also were known as the Cardinals when the St. Louis (MLB) Cardinals already existed.
The BC Lions(CFL) are using the Detroit Lions nickname. How is that possible?
Winnipeg Jets(NHL) are using New York Jets nickname.
San Francisco Giants(MLB) are using the New York (NFL) Giants nickname.
Edmonton Oilers are using the Tennessee/Houston Oilers nickname(if that name is still owned by the NFL).
Many US College teams are known as the Eagles and Rams.
