The only nick name the organization has had is the Patriots. The team was originally known as the Boston Patriots The team was renamed the New England Patriots in 1971.They got the name from England. (HISTORY CHECK) When America went to war with England to gain independence, England fought under the nickname "The Patriots" (hints the name "New England Patriots"). Funny how stuff like that works, huh?
Boston does not have a football team... But about 20 miles away is the patriots in Foxbourgh!
I assume by Patriots you mean the New England Patriots of the National Football league. In 1959, the team was introduced as the Boston Patriots but in 1971 the team was relocated to Foxborough, Massachusetts where they were renamed as the New England Patriots. This is the same name that the team uses today.
Locals submitted names they liked for the new Boston football team in the AFL and the Boston Patriots was the most popular

There are no teams called the winged patriots, there is a team called the New England Patriots.
New England Patriots
Yes, the New England Patriots are the greatest NFL Team ever.
In 1961, locals submitted names they liked for the new Boston football team in the AFL and the Boston Patriots was the most popular. The name references the central role of Massachusetts in the American Revolution.When the Patriots moved their operations to Foxborough, MA in 1971, they originally chose "Bay State Patriots" as the new name, but it was rejected, and so they settled on New England Patriots (which is more of a regional name).
A New England Patriots name is Logan Mankins.
The Patriots name was determined by a write in contest. The then unnamed team had locals send in names and Owner Billy Sullivan picked the Patriots from all the different submissions.
The New England Patriots then he goes to the Londen Silly Nannies
