Jets. Then again, the league would have a lot more interesting names with the Orchard Park Bills, Irving Cowboys, Pontiac Lions, Anaheim Rams, Somewhere in Wisconsin Packers, etc. Of course last year, with the Raiders playing in Los Angeles and practicing in Oakland, it's a wonder they didn't promote themselves as California's Team (at least).
