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?
The Patriots Stadium is called Gillette Stadium.

There is no other name, that is it.
Locals submitted names they liked for the new Boston football team in the AFL and the Boston Patriots was the most popular
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.
The team was a member of the old American Football League and were originally the Boston Patriots because Boston was a hot bed in the American Revolution the team chose Patriots for their name. The mascot wears a three corner hat like men of that era.
The New England Patriots were established in 1960. They were originally known as the Boston Patriots and were a charter team in the American Football League (AFL). The franchise changed its name to the New England Patriots in 1971, reflecting its broader regional identity.
