Does this count?

nash61, as the OP in the first post to lead off this thread, started it as the following:
 

"What are some rare matchups that only existed briefly (one or two seasons) before one of the teams moved/renamed?

Examples are Brooklyn Nets vs. New Orleans Hornets, Charlotte Bobcats vs. New Orleans Pelicans (If it happens)

Minnesota North Stars (moved 1993) vs. San Jose Sharks (expansion 1991)"

Which is what I wish it could have remained. 

Yet by the end of the first page, people started talking less about names/locations like the San Diego Clippers vs. New Orleans Jazz, and more about the uniform-centric things such as the ugly two tone blue, red and nickel Bills vs. the old gold-era Rams.   As this thread started well before Color Rush, city themes and earned NBA jerseys, and  mix and match baseball outfits,  which has given rise to almost innumerable uniform combinations and match-ups, it has delved into a never-ending esoteric exercise in "did this team wear this helmet/jersey/pants/socks combo vs. that team wearing this helmet/jersey/ pants/socks combo"

 

Old man rant over.  Carry on.😑

Since there was no regular season interconference play due to the labor dispute in 1994-95, 1993-94 was the only year of the Quebec Nordiques playing the Anaheim Mighty Ducks
