"Beloved" is a bit of a stretch, imo. They averaged about 12k fans for their existence. They are more of a cult classic than anything.
Teams used to move to another city and keep the name.
Calgary Flames, Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz. Flint Tropics.
Are they complaining that they wear the Jersey once in a great while? They should be ecstatic when they do.
Now Carolina Whalers is a case where the nickname fits. Why they didn't keep the name and use the same Jersey concept with a C, I don't know.
But hey, same shit with North Stars. Should of been Dallas Lone Stars and Minnesota keeps the name North Stars.
Houston should still be the Oilers in football. Those jerseys were great!! Hate when they fuck it up - ha
