North American Pro Sports Franchises that Changed Names

Name these professional sports teams that relocated and changed names.

Give the modern-day team name (the city is not required)

The league is the modern-day league, even if the team may have previously played in a different, now-defunct league

*One team technically did not retain its previous records and history when relocating, but it's reasonable to consider it to still be the same franchise.
