Fun fact: the Minnesota Vikings were the first professional sports team to be named after a state and not a city. However the Minnesota Twins which moved to Minnesota at around the same time were the first team named after a state to actually play a game because their season started before the Vikings did.

@@JustinLearnsThings One person that I know on Discord has an alternate universe where the Winnipeg Jets were put to sleep in 1996, with the Coyotes debuting as an expansion team. In this universe, the Thrashers never existed (he didn’t like them), so some players (Patrik Stefan and Ilya Kovalchuk, for example) were instead drafted by the teams they played with afterwards. In this universe, the Jets were restored in 2011, after sleeping for 15 years. Which begs more questions than answers. For example: What about Bryan Little? He played his entire career with the Thrashers/Jets organization. What about team records? The Jets 2.0’s franchise history also includes the Thrashers, and the Jets 1.0’s history is owned by the Coyotes.

I get a chuckle from the fact that the WWII-era combo team Card-Pitt was informally known as the “Carpets” because they were so bad that other teams walked over them on the field.

A little more about the Bengals. Yes, the modern Bengals were named after a team from the 30s but that original team got its name because the Cincinnati Zoo had recently received some Bengal Tigers. Almost no zoos in America had tigers at the time so it became a huge tourist attraction. Very interesting video. I learned a lot. I think the most interesting story was the Tennessee Titans. I didn’t know the relationship between Nashville and Athens. I can't believe you didn't mention how the Saints only became a team in New Orleans because Congress had to pass a new law to permit the leagues to merge to avoid anti-trust laws, and the two Congressmen instrumental in passing that law were both representing Louisiana and wanted a team in their state. So glad you have every league. It's very interesting and informative. I grew up across the st. from Joe Madro then Sid Gillman's Oline coach. I used to play with his two sons, he'd draw up plays for us in his backyard yard fun times. When Barron Hilton brought Gilman and his staff over from the Rams Joe told us that the Chargers got their name from Hilton having to use his CC to pay for everything. Now, I'm not going to say the old ' Charge ' wasn't the reason but I kinda like this one as well, BTFU....Aloha That is crazy St.Louis had an NFL team named the Cardinals and an MLB team named the Cardinals Fun fact: The NFL St.Louis Cardinals were often named the Big Red As a Steelers fan, I find it amusing how our biggest historical rival managed to mutate and replicate itself twice. All the teams in the AFC North, aside from the Steelers, are the result of the actions of Art Modell. He fired Paul Brown as head coach of the Browns, to which the latter created the Bengals in retaliation, going so far as to use old Browns uniforms in their initial days of operation. And then there's the whole Browns/Ravens saga. I find it pretty funny how many early football franchise owners just decided to name their team the exact same name as the MLB franchise already in their city. Must've made for some confusing August/September conversations: "Hey buddy, you wanna go to the Giants game?" | "Sure, who are they playing?" | "The Cardinals" | "Cool, I wonder how many runs they'll score" | "Uh... runs?" I believe part of the reason the Tennessee Titans chose the name 'Titans' is also a nod to the New York Titans (Jets).

London..no way

25:40 wow all those names are better than "let's name our team after the people who live in our state".

3:57 Why would Chicago Bears share Wrigley Field with Chicago Cubs if it's not a Football stadium it's a Baseball stadium.

That actually happens quite often… when the Raiders were still in Oakland, they played in the same stadium at the Athletics… And then there’s also like the MLS teams play in football stadiums like Atlanta United, or Seattle… Or NYC FC that plays at Yankee stadium! I think mainly stadiums are really expensive and some stadiums are only used like 10 times a year if they only have one tenant! So it just makes sense in some places to double up! Or in some cases like with Atlanta United it’s the same ownership that owns the stadium and both teams that play in it!

You said you will have a new video over the summer you say? Why can't you upload educational videos daily or ever 2 days or every 3 days or... Once a week. I prefer you uploading educational videos daily so the more videos you have the more fun it will be.

Go back to the MLB video I’m pretty sure he mentions the Colt 45’s

You know, if Las Vegas didn't get the Oakland Raiders, I would imagine they would have a team that matched the Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL, and they would call it the Las Vegas Centurions.

I could definitely see a team with matching branding to the Golden Knights! That'd be really fitting!

why do some people pronounce Jaguars as jagwires? tf you get that from? lol

Houston should've just chosen Toros or Wranglers

Toros would be cool! Wranglers would give great potential advertisement opportunities 😂

You can call the Washington team; the red commandos. The Eagles were also called the Frankfurt yellow jackets.

The Frankfort Yellow Jackets have no relation to the Eagles. I have heard that the franchise that was the Yellow Jackets was sold to a new ownership group that became the Eagles; but they weren't the same team.
