As a semi-pro historian, there are two big things I know about creating content: the importance of crediting your sources to allow readers to trace information back themselves, and footnotes are an easy way to provide tangential information (and to extend the length of your thesis). I see this as no different. To the best of my ability, I’ve linked to all resources (online or otherwise) that I’ve used for this project here. If there’s something specific I picked from a source, I’ll mention that, but you can assume I’ve used these for multiple pieces of information.
These are listed in alphabetical order by sport followed by images and a general design section at the very end.

- I pieced together the original 2019-2020 schedules using a variety of sources: contemporary press releases, team-designed printable schedules, third-party-designed printable schedules, broadcast information sheets, etc. It was surprisingly difficult to find the original NBA schedule from that year.
Hockey
- Hockey Reference
- NHL.com statistics section
- Unofficial NHL Uniform Database
- WHA Uniform Database
Lacrosse
- Swarm It Up!!! is an old Minnesota Swarm fan page that has helpfully kept track of every NLL season since 2005–better even than the official NLL website seems to have done.
