It was old school in the 1940's as well!! Definition of knickerbocker "Knicks" are a nickname of a a nickname so really its important to know what a Knickerbocker is. Good primer for old and new fans alike: |

If everyone on the planet uses only the nickname for an org...might as well change the official name to that... Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL

I just quickly went to the team official website and there is no mention of "Knickerbockers" anywhere. |

Perhaps Im showing off my youth n naivety but I always thought Knickerbockers was a old time word for somebody's pants like trousers lol For the life of me whenever the thought behind the meaning of the term Knickerbocker would pass thru my mind I thought 'Why would you name a professional sports team after some pants?", always thought it was weird lol Now I know where it actually stems from and it makes a lot more sense now haha |
