The team was already named the Athletics so I don’t see what the big deal is but I don’t mind if the change the name. They can always call them the Aces and use the similar logo to the Athletics if they want.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied the A's request to trademark the names "Las Vegas Athletics" and "Vegas Athletics."

The club, which intends to move to Nevada in 2028, has three months from when the refusals were issued Dec. 29 to ask for an extension to file a new application within a six-month period.

The A's were told the nickname "Athletics" was too generic and could be confused with other activities even if associated with Las Vegas.

This is a month old story but I didn't see any post about it.  If someone has already posted it post the link please.
