Honestly Washington Football Team isnt bad if they market it right

Like a good chunk of the teams in the Premier League are literally City Football Club

Yeah they're from a time before the name also had to be a brand. They were small local institutions primarily and that is true around the world/Europe too (hence Barcelona just being FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich just literally being the name of the place etc). MK Dons - essentially a rebranding of the club once known as "Wimbledon FC" after they relocated in 2004 - is the only one to follow the more "branded" naming convention that dominates US leagues.

British leagues founded more recently that are more desperate for market share like our basketball and rugby leagues (both types of rugby) use "branded" names like giants, thunder, jets etc.

So a US team doing that would be an interesting kind of throwback I guess
