Can you name the New York Team Nicknames From 1940 to present?

created by caramba

Enter a team name in the box below
Correctly named team names will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
Only teams that have played "major" pro sports since 1940 are included, though some are niche sports at best. Teams that play in Jersey count if they are called "New York"; so do other NYC boroughs!

	Which leagues should I add or remove - World Team Tennis and the National Lacrosse League may be a stretch, but someone's gotta stump the Schwab!

	Some oldies are in the bonuses, plus some leagues that are even shakier than the WNBA or the XFL! Legend: ABA: American Basketball Association AFL: American Football League AFL: Arena Football League BAA: Basketball Association of America LFL: Lingerie Football League MLB: Major League Baseball MLS: Major Lague Soccer NASL: North American Soccer League NBA: National Basketball Association NFL: National Football League NHL: National Hockey League NLL: National Lacrosse League RHI: Roller Hockey International UFL: United Football League USFL: United States Football League USL: United Soccer League WHA: World Hockey Association WLAF: World League of American Football WNBA: Womens National Basketball Association WTT: World Team Tennis XFL: X Football League (not eXtreme as some think)

	i could be wrong but i think the metrostars and the red bulls are the same franchise. this one isn't a big deal but the team name is Red Bull New York

	I'm surprised that 100% of people have guessed the Islanders up to this point (granted its only 44 people)

	caramba:	Feb 17th, 2010 at 06:28 GMT		3 points
	@jorgeb91: This quiz has a number of teams that have changed names - like Titans and Jets. I have chnaged the Red Bull name. Thanks

	@caramba i realized after that post that the title was nicknames. as far as the red bull goes the name of the organization is red bull new york but the team name is new york red bulls so i guess either works

	Long Island Ducks?

	New York team nicknames technically would include buffalo teams..

	This is New York city only, teams like the Lizards and Bills are not answers. Why are the sportimes a bonus? They do not count?

	caramba:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 19:23 GMT		3 points
	@ArtVandaley: The Sportimes were originally part of the main quiz but, after 100 plays, no one had guessed them, so I figured they should be moved to obscurity-land. There are actually about 20 bonuses. @sousuffer: I considered the Ducks' league to be too minor. Can I be convinced otherwise?

	They were never the New York Generals, they were always the New Jersey Generals.

	caramba:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 19:35 GMT		1 point
	@strong_island: That's why it's listed as a NASL team and the JerseyGens are a bonus answer.

	What about the NFL New York Yankees and New York Yanks?
