The 76ers
wikipedia said:
Their name was changed to the "76ers," after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776. The nickname was quickly shortened to "Sixers" by headline writers, and the two names soon became interchangeable for marketing purposes

After New York Giants' manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a "white elephant on his hands," Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, and presented McGraw with a stuffed toy elephant at the start of the 1905 World Series. McGraw and Mack had known each other for years, and McGraw accepted it graciously. By 1909, the A's were wearing an elephant logo on their sweaters, and in 1918 it turned up on the regular uniform jersey for the first time. Over the years the elephant has appeared in several different colors. It is currently forest green. The A’s are still sometimes, though infrequently, referred to as the "Elephants" or "White Elephants".

The elephant was retired as team mascot in 1963 by then-owner Charles O. Finley in favor of a Missouri mule. In 1988, the elephant was restored as the symbol of the Athletics and currently adorns the left sleeve of home and road uniforms. The Elephant Mascot returned briefly in the mid eighties, under the name, Harry Elephante. In 1997, the elephant returned taking its current form, Stomper.

Detroit has two pretty stupid ones if you think about it.. with the Pistons and Red Wings..

But a lot of nicknames are stupid, which is why I don't normally even think about it.

If I was the NBA commissioner, the first thing I would do on my first day of work is make the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Hornets swap nicknames. (Utah is the Beehive State) Everybody wins.

Miami Heat
Orlando Magic

The late 80s was a shitty time for nicknames. Both sound like WNBA teams or MSL... also you can add pretty much every arena football team out there have really bad nicknames.

Do you know what pisses me off, is some douchey lady from out of town started a professional indoor lacrosse team (lol) in Portland and called them the Portland Lumberjacks, which is stupid because thats an east-coast term for loggers. Calling them the Oregon Loggers would have been a lot better, and people might actually go watch that shitty sport, at least out of curiosity.
