It can be tough to remember Buffalo's pro teams. New York City unfortunately takes most of the fame for the state's sports.

You should clarify that this is teams that purport to represent parts or the whole of NY state by virtue of their name. When you say teams whose stadium is in NJ you immediately bring the Devils into the mix.

Except, by their name, they are the *New Jersey* Devils.

That doesn't matter. The San Francisco 49ers play in Santa Clara which is in Santa Clara County.

Abutting Santa Clara (city) and the county seat of Santa Clara County is San Jose. The NHL's San Jose Sharks play there.

Should the 49ers be the Santa Clara 49ers or should the San Jose Sharks be the San Francisco Sharks?

I can see your point. Especially since NYC's main NFL arena is in NJ

Short of huge capital letters or neon lights I don't know how much clearer the instructions could have been.

You knew there would be comments, right? Don't be a dunce is perfect. The Devils don't count because of the name of the quiz.

The original name of the Knicks was the Knickerbockers and that name was never dismissed, the team and media just shortened it to Knicks.

I tried Knickerbockers for fun and it didn't work, which is fine.

Did you also try "Metropolitans" for the Mets?

There is a difference. Whereas the Knicks comment is correct regarding that team, The baseball team has always officially been just the "Mets". The confusion is that the team is operated by the "New York Metropolitan Baseball Club".

Way too easy. And the Devils are more of a NY team than the Sabres. But thanks anyway.

How are the Devils more of a New York team than the Sabres? The Devils play in New Jersey and have "New Jersey" in their name, while the Sabres are named for and play in a city in New York.

Yes, I read the instructions, but consistency has to apply. It specifically says "New York state"--state in bold type, then says "even if the stadium is in New Jersey". No logic to that one! Gotta be consistent. And to top it off, what about the Devils? I know, I know...."New Jersey Devils, as opposed to "New York Giants" and "New York Jets". Still though, consistency must apply.

There is consistency. You said it yourself. “New Jersey” Devils. “New York” Mets

Man, what is with people trying to claim the Devils as a New York team? They're called the New Jersey Devils. They play in New Jersey. There's... not a lot of ambiguity there.

Because they're still in the NYC metropolitan area and as a result get most of their fans from New York

For some reason these sport quizzes cause just crazy lag on my phone. I wonder if it’s just the multicoloured headers or what. 🤔

Ok, @mrputter. It's been 13 years now. That's more than enough time to have internalized the fact that the New Jersey Nets are now the Brooklyn Nets. Get with the program already!

This would be a more interesting quiz if it included soccer teams (MLS & NWSL, if not the Cosmos) and the WNBA.
