Brooklyn Hakoah II
The name was revived during the 1948-49 ASL season when, after just one game, financial trouble caused the owners of the Brooklyn Wanderers to sell the club. New owners took over the team and renamed them the Brooklyn Hakoah. Just before the 1956-57 season, the club merged with the New York Americans to form a new New York Hakoah.

Famous quotes containing the word brooklyn:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
