Because the name is what a team is primarily identified by. It's way more important than a team's logo or the color scheme and even if the team you are copying is from another sport, I think it's still a problem and something that would be easy to avoid by just giving it some more thought. It would be different if it were just be some beer league team that shared this name but from what I see the mammoths are a professional and somewhat well-known team.

I'm not a graphics guy so I can't really comment on the logos, I know that lots of our logos are at least heavily inspired by real world ones and just have a color change or something, I'm not a fan of that either but I guess there's a reason why most of our graphics guys are doing it. And "other teams have done it too!" is not really a strong defense in the first place, people reguarly bring up that they have issues with the Jets & the Impact and the only reason we don't change it is because they have a rich history in this league.

The blizzard took a teams name and logo, The Dragons took a teams name and logo, the Admirals, ect.. Would changing the name to Denver Mammoths make you happy?
