I never heard anything about TEAM naming rights. Just the stadium. They would never let such a thing happen to the team name. Too much history. They literally would have been lynched and strung up by their toenails and beaten to death.

Baltimore cannot take their old name. The trademark on the name belonged to the team, not the city. When the team moved, they were allowed to take it. They could have changed it a la the Browns to Ravens when they moved in which case the teamname could be reused since it was no longer active. But no.

I dug the Ons joke. Pretty funny.

But seriously, I dig the Ravens. I like their name a lot. A good historical reference for the city.
