    This is entitled "Formerly Known As (FKA)" Trivia. These are former names of current NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB Major League Sports teams. I will give the FKA, you give the NKA (Now Known As), or current name of the team. These are in alphabetical order by the fka. If you see what sounds like a current name, it isn't. Another team formerly went by that name:

    1. Alleghenys

    2. Americans

    3. Bronchos

    4. Browns

    5. Bullets

    6. Chapparells

    7. Gothams

    8. Highlanders

    9. Nationals

    10. Nordiques

    11. North Stars

    12. Oilers

    13. Orphans

    14. Perfectos

    15. Pilots

    16. Quakers

    17. Royals

    18. Rustlers

    19. Scouts

    20. Spartans

    21. Staleys

    22. St. Patricks

    23. Texans

    24. Titans

    25. Whalers

                    Rich got the current NY Yankees, Phillies, Bears, and Jets. I think he got mixed up on what the question was. The question was "what are these teams names NOW"....not what city were they from when they carried that name.

                    You would have done poorly on your ACT test by not reading the question properly! :blink:

                        I suspected you were, but had to be certain. That eliminates the Gothams and Royals from the "to be answered list"

                          One thing this trivia does point up is how creatively challenged a lot of these pro teams are in terms naming their teams. Of the 25 former names I have listed....Seven of them are now names of different teams, e.g. Browns, Titans, Oilers, Nationals, Texans

                              Rich got the current NY Yankees, Phillies, Bears, and Jets. I think he got mixed up on what the question was. The question was "what are these teams names NOW"....not what city were they from when they carried that name.

                              You would have done poorly on your ACT test by not reading the question properly! :blink:

                              Thanks, I have an issue with answering the problem without reading the question upwink!

                              Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes

                                This is entitled "Formerly Known As (FKA)" Trivia. These are former names of current NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB Major League Sports teams. I will give the FKA, you give the NKA (Now Known As), or current name of the team. These are in alphabetical order by the fka. If you see what sounds like a current name, it isn't.
