The New York Knicks are a professional mens' Basketball team that are part of the NBA. The Knicks' official name back in the day was the New York Knickerbockers. The term "Knickerbockers" traces its origin back to the Dutch settlers who came to the New World and especially to what is now New York in the 1600s. Specifically, it refers to the style of pants the settlers wore: pants that rolled up just below the knee, which became known as "Knickerbockers," or "knickers".
