Hard to say. Some do and some don't. Philadelphia A's became Oakland A's. Hartford Whalers became the Hurricane-Jets became the Coyotes. Actually in the NHL I would say no. The Las Vegas Penguins??? Grizzlies kept their name and so did the Hornets. Now that you mention it, it is strange that Minnesota didn't come back as the North Stars-better than the Wild. I'm trying to think of an NHL team that kept their name and I can't. Nordiques became Avalanche (which they used to be) Good question.

You are right--it is cool. :)
I still think that wherever they go, they should leave the name in Pittsburgh. Think of a new name, like something to do with the team's new city.
The Flames in Atlanta was good because the city was burned to the ground during the Civil War, and they have fire colors. It stinks for Calgary--makes me think of a refinery fire. Same with the Dallas Stars. The "Dallas Lone Stars" would have been cool, with new red/white/blue colors, like the Texas flag. But they chose to be unoriginal, instead--too cheap to get new uniforms, more than likely. Using a team's previous colors and team name is a real slap in the face of the former city and their fans--no different than flipping them off at their saddest moment.
The Pens' new home may keep the black and gold, and the name, but it would be really crappy if they did.

Well, the Kansas City Penguins would have a terrible ring to it. I believe the Penguins Nickname belongs in the Steel City.

I doubt if they will move but if they do, I doubt if they would use the same logo since they would be moving to another city.

no..i think they'll change it and get a fresh start if they do move. Winnipeg Jets are no longer ... so maybe the penguins will follow suit.

hopefully not. It's not a very threatening logo.
