I assume that clubs do it in order to theoretically broaden their support. People new to football might be less likely to support a team called "Geelong" or "Adelaide" if they have never even been to those places. It's more plausible to say they like the "Cats" or "Crows". As far as I can tell, that's the reason. But in practice, I really doubt they would sell any more than about 3 extra memberships by doing it. It would look a lot better if the AFL standardised things. It just looks like incompetence if you don't know the reasons behind it.
