	Ever notice that the 4 NHL teams with colors are all in the same division...

	What about GOLDen State Warriors?

	schouw:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 20:20 GMT	2 points
	You're right. I thought of Golden State but wrongly assumed it was only considered an element. It's been added.

	Cardinal is a color? Since when?

	schouw:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 06:19 GMT	3 points
	Cardinal is a vivid reddish color. The bird gets its name from the color.

	Great quiz, wish I'd realized the cities counted too.

	Jono_:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	2 points
	Winnipeg Blue Bombers

	Wow. I think this might be the only time the St. Louis Blues outscore the Cardinals on a quiz. I didn't even guess them.

	Let's try to stay away from obscure colors like Cardinal. There's no reason to be that picky.

	schouw:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 05:57 GMT	3 points
	Understandable. I can see how it'd be annoying seeing 'Cardinals' pop up when you know you got all the rest of them. They've been moved to the bonus section.

	schouw:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 06:03 GMT	2 points
	I've also added a few others from other leagues besides the major four as bonuses.

	I liked the idea of the quiz but I don't think you should let the city name be counted because Sporcle doesn't ever count them in their quizzes and it gets a little confusing. Plus, I would just go with your colors of the rainbow, no golden or cardinal.

	Cardinals are named after the Catholic priests as is the color due to the hue of thier red vestments. The word cardinal is from the latin cardo (hinge) which implies leadership. So while cardinal might be a color, it would like accepting fire engine as a choice or navy.

	Where are the Colorado Rockies and Colorado Avalanche?

	sugarpill11567:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 14:14 GMT	2 points
	love it

	evrbody:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 14:36 GMT	5 points
	I don't think Avalanche is a color.

	Garte:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 15:18 GMT	1 point
	good quiz, but maybe a little too much time

	JayHankEdLyonJr:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 16:01 GMT	7 points
	I feel like I'm the only one who gets CoolBeans's joke. It's actually pretty funny. Anyway, great quiz.

	No, colorado actually has a "color" in their name.

	fatbeard:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 17:53 GMT	1 point
	if you're accepting cardinals as a bonus answer, you might also wanna accept the royals (technically, the name is royal blue, but as a bonus it could be acceptable). and I agree colorado teams deserve a bonus. they do have color in their name

	If Redskins count as an answer, then Golden State Warriors and Green Bay Packers should too - not just as bonuses. Those are the official team names and they include colors.

	JayHankEdLyon:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	4 points
	largeone, thanks for proving my point. Doctor Tom, way to disprove it. Anyway, debbie, the official name for the team of the Golden State is "Warriors", just like the official name for the team of Green Bay is "Packers." Golden State and Green Bay are places, like Washington. If it was the Reddington Washskins, it wouldn't count. But it's the Washington "Redskins", so it does.

	Well it looks like I can't please everyone, so I'm just going to use standard colours for the quiz. City names and "Cardinals" will be bonus answers, so if you do happen to think of them, you can still feel somewhat rewarded. "Royals" will not because "royal" by itself is not a colour, whereas "cardinal" is.

	theurbanmapper:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 23:19 GMT	-1 points
	Arizona Cardinals should be a real answer, not a bonus: they were named after the color of the old jerseys that were bought from the Chicago Maroons [wikipedia - yes I know not a totally reliable source, but I've seen it many other places and before Wikipedia existed]. The word royal comes from the status, not the color.

	im gonna sound really stupid but schouw, how do u put bonus answers on a quiz?

	schouw:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 01:58 GMT	2 points
	sugarpill, in the "extra info" column put 'ee'. But make sure your bonus answers are at the bottom of your data or the percentage guessed of the answers will be messed up.

	Kris:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 02:15 GMT	2 points
	I actually thought this was going to be tougher...I nailed it on the first try!

	BenjSKs:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 03:56 GMT	3 points
	anyone else try titans?

	conradmcmasters:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 04:23 GMT	1 point
	as a blackhawks season ticket holder, i feel ashamed that it was the last one i got with 40 seconds left

	schouw:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 12:15 GMT	-1 points
	Titans! Worthy of a bonus spot.

	Resdkins and Blsckhawks don't count.

	You're missing the New York Red Bulls of MLS.

	cocky:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 15:27 GMT	-2 points
	The Browns are names after team founder Paul Brown, not the color.

	schouw:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 16:03 GMT	4 points
	I think it's important to note that the answers to this quiz have a colour in their name somewhere, not mattering whether it refers to the actual colour or not.
