<P> Other team names used by the franchise were the Atlantics, Grays, Grooms, Bridegrooms, Superbas and Robins . All of these nicknames were used by fans and sportswriters to describe the team, but not in any official capacity . The team's legal name was the Brooklyn Base Ball Club . However, the Trolley Dodger nickname was used throughout this period, simultaneously with these other nicknames, by fans and sportswriters of the day . The team did not use the name in any formal sense until 1932, when the word "Dodgers" appeared on team jerseys . The "conclusive shift" came in 1933, when both home and road jerseys for the team bore the name "Dodgers". </P> <P> Examples of how the many popularized names of the team were used are available from newspaper articles before 1932 . A New York Times article describing a game in 1916 starts out: "Jimmy Callahan, pilot of the Pirates, did his best to wreck the hopes the Dodgers have of gaining the National League pennant", but then goes on to comment: "the only thing that saved the Superbas from being toppled from first place was that the Phillies lost one of the two games played". What is interesting about the use of these two nicknames is that most baseball statistics sites and baseball historians generally now refer to the pennant - winning 1916 Brooklyn team as the Robins . A 1918 New York Times article uses the nickname in its title: "Buccaneers Take Last From Robins", but the subtitle of the article reads: "Subdue The Superbas By 11 To 4, Making Series An Even Break". </P> <P> Another example of the use of the many nicknames is found on the program issued at Ebbets Field for the 1920 World Series, which identifies the matchup in the series as "Dodgers vs. Indians" despite the fact that the Robins nickname had been in consistent use for around six years . The "Robins" nickname was derived from the name of their Hall of Fame manager, Wilbert Robinson, who led the team from 1914 to 1931 . </P> <P> The Dodgers' uniform has remained relatively unchanged since the 1930s . The home jersey is white with "Dodgers" written in script across the chest in Dodger Blue . The road jersey is grey with "Los Angeles" written in script across the chest in Dodger Blue . The word "Dodgers" was first used on the front of the team's home jersey in 1933; the uniform was then white with red pinstripes and a stylized "B" on the left shoulder . The Dodgers also wore green outlined uniforms and green caps throughout the 1937 season but reverted to blue the following year . </P>

When was the last time the dodgers went to a world series
