If they showed a team photo from 1952 and captioned it "1952 Los Angeles Dodgers" it wouldn't make any sense lol Yea but if i showed you a picture of the 1995 NBA team from Washington and said "man, look at the Wizards roster back then", you'd understand what i meant and likely wouldn't flip out because they were called the Bullets back then.
