Dolphins logo has a helmet, too, IIRC. And why does entering "Braves" only pull up the answer in the WS column but not the Babe Ruth one?

Yeah - Bills, Orioles, Raiders, Dolphins. I LOVE the unique questions here, but a few glaring omissions. I also have no idea what "initial letter" means.

same corrections as everyone else. Maybe fix Boston Braves for Ruth. and accept Rays for Pinella. Same team just different name.

Great quiz, just a few things. 1) How can the Packers have 11 championships but 9 pre-Super Bowl? They've won 4 Super Bowls (I, II, XXXI, XLV). 2) The Browns logo should be included, as it is headwear (stupid logo, but it's still a logo).

Gotta agree with other people about the Orioles logo. The bird is wearing a hat. I also have no idea what "unique first letter" means.

I think -- just a guess -- unique letter means the first letter of the team name. Is there another team name that starts with "V" or "E" besides the Vikings and Eagles?

@phantom4ptplay, it says they have won 11 championships, with 9 pre-Super Bowl. But they've won 4 Super Bowls. It should be 13 championships. It's a minor flaw, but it's no big.

Thanks for all the nitpicking. Fixed Green Bay, Browns helmet logo, and new Orioles logo. Mavericks logo with hat is an old one, and that section of the quiz only looks at current primary logos. As for UNIQUE FIRST LETTER, I've rewritten it as "...are the only team nickname with their initial letter?" Hope that's clearer.

The initial letter one still throws me - I would have thought that would mean the A's (Athletics), O's (Orioles), B's (Bruins) to name a few.

It just means the first letter of the team name is not shared by any other team. The Yankees are the only "Y" team, the Vikings are the only "V" team, and the Eagles are the only "E" team. Every other letter has 2+ teams beginning with it (or none).

FYI, Babe Ruth played for the Orioles for 1 season before going to Boston.

The Orioles team that Ruth played with for 5 months was a minor league team.

Yeah, had no idea what "only team nickname with their initial letter" meant. No real concise way to ask that one off the top of my head.

...are the only team nickname with their initial letter? I could have thought for 10 minutes what that meant and never figured it out.

The Packers have won 13 championships. Having them as only a bonus answer is stupid. The NFL considers all championships equal before or after the championships were called the "super bowl"

I only figured out the "initial" clue when I answered Vikings for the headwear-logo question and it popped up there. Didn't get the other one there, though, foolishly. I went into this quiz expecting it to be about baseball, so I was a little disappointed when it was the big 4 sports. Would have liked it better if it were just MLB teams minus Yankees.

@Matty, I didn't get it until I saw the answers. It's the teams whose nicknames are the only ones that begin with their first letter. For example, if the Springfield Zephyrs were a team, they would be the only team with Z as the first letter in its nickname.
