I actually did mean 1981 as they made it that year as well (lost to the Islanders). I simply missed 1991

Hell I didn't even know that! Was only 3 year old back then. lol

[Hunter Montana]

[soxfan1468927]

Dallas Texans = Kansas City Chiefs?
New York Gothams = San Francisco Giants?
Boston Red Stockings = Atlanta Braves?

Correct on all those. That's why when the Chiefs do their throwback jerseys, their helmet has a picture of Texas on them.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Baltimore Orioles = New York Yankees?
Brooklyn Atlantics = Los Angeles Dodgers?

Correct on both!

18. New Jersey Americans (1968): NBA

Here are the three that are not guessed correctly yet

 

[soxfan1468927]

What are the only 5 teams in the Big 4 that have won multiple championships and never lost? What are the 12 teams in the Big 4 who have played in multiple championships, but never won? (All questions include NFL championships prior to the Super Bowl)

 

[Hunter Montana]

Won multiple championships without losing: Chicago Bulls and Baltimore Ravens? and Florida Marlins.

Played in multiple championships without winning: Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals?

NBA isn't my strong suit, but I will take a guess...New Jersey Americans = Brooklyn Nets?

NBA isn't my strong suit, but I will take a guess...New Jersey Americans = Brooklyn Nets?

Correct the Bulls won in '91, '92, '93, '96, '97, and '98, and never lost. The Ravens won Super Bowls XLVII and XXXV and never lost. Marlins won the World Series in '97 and '03 and never lost.

Vikings lost Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI, and have never won. Bengals lost Super Bowls XVI and XXIII, and never won.

And yes the New Jersey Americans was the original team name of the Brooklyn Nets, a name they originally had in the ABA. After one year they changed to the New York Nets, played under that name through their first (disastrous) season in the NBA, and then moved back to New Jersey to become the New Jersey Nets. And we all know they kept that name up until last year.

Just two names left for the trivia question. Chicago Packers of the NBA and Kansas City Scouts of the NHL. I'll admit I myself would not have gotten the Chicago Packers one if someone had asked me, but I thought someone would have gotten the Kansas City Scouts already.

 

[Hunter Montana]

I thought of another team with multiple championship appearances but no trophy: San Diego Padres?

Awesome trivia questions.


...and how could I forget the Buffalo Bills?

 

[MilkSpiller22]

KC- st. louis blues??

Chicago Packers = Washington Wizards

Kansas City Scouts = New Jersey Devils.
