– As a native yinzer, I REALLY hate to do this, but Pittsburgh's official name from 1891-1911 was Pittsburg. The respective seasons for the Pirates those years should be spelled as such. I did leave the 1911 season off the list since it was during the 1911 season that the "H" was restored. Jgera5 (talk) 18:27, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose One of the beautiful things about WP:COMMONNAME is that it allows us to avoid "technicalities" associated with silly official naming decisions. The official name of Pittsburgh is interesting, and relevant to discuss in any article about the city.  For purposes of article titling, though, the whimsies of the changing official name are irrelevant.  The COMMONNAME of the Pirates is the same, irrespective of technicalities. Xoloz (talk) 01:17, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Common name should prevail over an official technicality with the city's name. If you do a Google search of "1891 Pittsburg Pirates", there are no results with the "Pittburg" name. It goes against Wikipedia's policy to do something different than a reliable source like SI.com Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:47, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the above, and I don't see a reliable source that the officially change their name, too, during that period. I'm not sure who we're supposed to take this seriously if you didn't evne bother to make the redlinks blue. I think no one ever in 1,000 years would look for 1897 Pittsburg Pirates season.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  09:24, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

These articles originally used the WP:COMMONNAME "Pittsburgh". A request to change the spelling to "Pittsburg" was unanimously opposed in a previous discussion (Talk:1891 Pittsburgh Pirates season) but the change got made anyway. The two main sources used by these articles (Baseball Reference and Baseball Almanac) as well as the official Pirates site refer to the 1891-1911 teams as "Pittsburgh". See also the photo in the 1896 article, in which the final 'H' is clearly present on the uniforms. —Phleg1 (talk) 13:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Egsan Bacon (talk) 17:18, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. To be clear, this is a revert of a unilateral made in 2015 (e.g., this) without any community support whatsoever, much less consensus. --В²C ☎ 18:10, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per above, and good work pointing out the spelling on the uniforms of the 1896 image. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - Good idea to clear-up the spelling confusion. Neonblak talk  -  17:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support proper spelling should be applied LovelyAngle (talk) 02:32, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
