The Patriots did not cheat. Therefore they could not have known they were "cheating".
British soldiers were also called lobsterbacks because of their red uniforms. Some patriots were known as minutemen because of how quickly the could prepare for battle.

I assume by Patriots you mean the New England Patriots of the National Football league. In 1959, the team was introduced as the Boston Patriots but in 1971 the team was relocated to Foxborough, Massachusetts where they were renamed as the New England Patriots. This is the same name that the team uses today.
One thing that Massachusetts is known for is Harvard University. The area is also known for its sports teams. Massachusetts has the New England Patriots, the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Bruins, and the Celtics.
