I think if a team changes its nickname when it moves, it loses a lot of its former identity. I don't think the Nationals connect with the Expos in the same way that say, the LA Dodgers connect with the Brooklyn Dodgers. You'd probably never see them wearing Expos stuff in their first World Series, which they earned in Washington.
I thought the Expos were a cool franchise, and liked them partially because they were Canadian. But the Nationals feel more like an expansion team and I don't have any feelings for them. Will be going for them in the World Series though because Astros and Yankees are high on the hate list.
