Ah that's right, Jazz. I was just in Utah last Spring visiting its beautiful national parks. Can't believe I missed that one.

If you scroll up to look at the list of poll options, you'll see another example. :-)

Come to think of it, I don't think any NBA franchise (with the exception of the Warriors) is named after a state, right? They're all named after the city if I'm not mistaken.

NHL has several teams named after the state. I believed they are Panthers, Avalanche, Devils, Hurricanes, and Wild. Also the Coyotes went from Phoenix Coyotes to Arizona Coyotes several years ago.

Edit: I just realize the Timberwolves are also named after the state.
