See Red Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I believe it's the Yankees for the MLB and the Patriots (02, 05) for the NFL.Not sure of any connections with Star Wars besides the Yankees being nicknamed the Evil Empire -- and if I remember correctly, when they were first called that, there was a picture of Darth Vader with a Yankees logo on saying 'May the Curse be with you'.

I didn't count the Pats on my lists because it was the 2001, '02, and '04 teams that won the Super Bowl, although the games were held in 2002, '03 and '05.

Ok, so together we got 3 of the leagues named no matter which of the NFL teams would be correct... who would the NBA team be? Lakers won in 02... and I assume they won in one of the 80's years. So Lakers for NBA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
