Top 10 - Worst sport team nicknames
5 - New York Knicks (basketball)
Knicks is an abbreviation of knickerbockers. That's right underwear. The New York Undies if you want. The name traces back to the Dutch settlers who arrived in New York in the 1600s. The style of pants they wore were rolled up just below the knee. Great historical affiliation but not very intimidating.
