It's a tradition that mostly started with just the name of the color of their socks.
Not really any different than the Italian National team being "Azzurri"
That's a nickname though, and also that's a national team.
We're talking about nicknames.
New York Yankees = City Nickname
Yankee Global Enterprises, LLC = official legal name
Nobody on the damn planet is going to call them Yankee global enterprises, cmon. Also Yankees is I think the only exception of a half decent name. Isn't as childish as "raptors" or whatever
I just right now called them the Yankee Global Enterpirse. Checkmate.
Also, Toronto (Raptors) is not in the US, fyi.
