Edit: The Royals also qualify. The stadium was renamed Kauffman Stadium in 1993 after the team’s recently deceased founder and owner. There’s no corporate sponsorship behind it.
But if it's a tongue in cheek play on how it *sounds* like "fillies", I can get behind that - though in that case I would argue that Cardinals and Mets (Metropolitans) should be accepted for the Christian connotations question.
The Devils are named after the mythological Jersey Devil, which does not have biblical connotations.
A charger is a war horse, and is what the LA team is named after, even though they rarely represent their team with a horse these days.
The Phillies are named after people from Philadelphia. A filly is a horse (spelled with an "F").
The Pistons could be an iffy answer, as the horse mascot represents horse power, the very thing that pistons produce.
Strangely enough, when the Rays dropped the "Devil" part of their name, the ray actually represents the suns' rays. But they made this difficult by keeping the ray (fish) on their sleeves.
Other non-corporate teams: Rangers (NHL); Bears; Nationals; Orioles; Royals
Added the missing stadiums.
