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.
