Three-peat

In sports (especially in North America), a '''three-peat''' is winning three consecutive championships or tournaments. The term, a portmanteau of the words ''three'' and ''repeat'', originated with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, during their unsuccessful campaign for a third consecutive championship during the 1988–89 season, having won the previous two NBA finals. {{TOC right|3}}

==Origin== The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' cites the ''Newsday'' newspaper for first publishing the word as a noun, as the Lakers began using the term in 1988.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.oed.com/dictionary/three-peat_n |title=three-peat, noun |work=Oxford English Dictionary |access-date=May 30, 2026}}</ref> The ''OED'' also credits an Illinois high school senior, Sharif Ford, with the earliest published use of the word as a verb in the March 8, 1989, edition of the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.oed.com/dictionary/three-peat_v |title=three-peat, verb |work=Oxford English Dictionary |access-date=May 30, 2026}}</ref> Ford's quote uses the term in a sporting context and serves to provide a clear etymology as well:

<blockquote> The Lincoln High Tigers say they want to "three-peat". "You know, kind of like repeat, except doing it for the third time", senior Sharif Ford said. </blockquote>

In a comedic context, the same play on words, additionally incorporating the name "Pete", is known to have been used as early as 1930 on the radio program ''Empire Builders''. The episode of that program broadcast on December 29, 1930, featured a trio of singers dubbed "The Three Visiting Firemen: Pete, Re-Pete, and Three-Pete".<ref>[http://radiomemories.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=23248 radiomemories 23248] Wizzard Media</ref>

==Trademark== The term is a registered trademark owned by Pat Riley, the Lakers' head coach from 1981 to 1990. The original owner and assignor of the underlying THREE-PEAT "mark" was Bijan Khezri, former president of P.d.P. Paperon De Paperoni, a Delaware corporation. Khezri submitted in November 1988 a trademark application for the use of ''three-peat'' on shirts, jackets and hats. Around that time, the phrase was being used by members and fans of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, of whom Pat Riley was the head coach, regarding the Lakers' quest that season to obtain what would have been a third successive NBA championship. According to Riley, it was Laker player Byron Scott who cited the term in reference to the team's goal for that season.

After Khezri assigned the trademark to Riley, it remained an entity of Riley's company Riles & Co.. In 1989, Riles & Co. successfully registered the trademark under U.S. Registration Number 1552980. The Lakers did not win a third consecutive NBA championship in 1989, but the Chicago Bulls did in 1993, and Riles & Co. collected royalties from sports apparel makers who licensed the phrase for use on merchandise commemorating that accomplishment.

Riles & Co. subsequently obtained additional registrations expanding the trademark to cover many other kinds of merchandise in addition to apparel. The company then went on to reap additional profits by again licensing the phrase to merchandisers when the Bulls again won three consecutive NBA championships from 1996 through 1998, as well as when the New York Yankees won three straight World Series championships from 1998 through 2000 and when the Lakers won three straight NBA championships from 2000 through 2002. It was the Lakers' second three-peat in franchise history and only their first since moving from Minneapolis. As of 2025, the Lakers are the last team of the four major American professional sports (NHL, MLB, NFL, NBA) to achieve a three-peat. Incidentally, Pat Riley was the head coach of the losing teams (New York Knicks in 1992 and 1993, Miami Heat in 1996 and 1997) that were eliminated by the Bulls during their 1991-93 and 1996-98 three-peats of NBA Championships. Phil Jackson was the head coach of the Bulls for both of these three-peats, and serving in that same capacity for the Lakers when they achieved their second three-peat.

While originating in the United States, the three-peat has been replicated all over the world across different sports. In recent times, Spanish association football club Real Madrid notably became the first club of the modern era to win three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles (2015–16, 2016–17 and 2017–18). The American Rugby club the New England Free Jacks became the first team to win three consecutive MLR titles (2023, 2024, 2025) and the first North American team to complete a three-peat since 2002.

The trademark registration for ''three-peat'' has been challenged over the years by those who argue that the term has become too generic in its usage for the trademark to continue to be applicable. However, such arguments have yet to succeed, with the registration continuing to be upheld by the United States Patent and Trademark Office as recently as 2001, in the case of ''Christopher Wade v. Riles & Co''. This challenge documented the transfer of assignment from Khezri to Riles & Co., and upheld the validity of the trademark as originally conceived.

In 2005, a group of individuals attempted to trademark the phrase ''Three-Pete'' in anticipation of the (ultimately unsuccessful) attempt that year by the 2005 USC Trojans football team to win a third consecutive national championship. The change in spelling was a reference to the team's head coach Pete Carroll. However, the Patent Office ruled that the change in spelling was not dissimilar enough from Riles & Co.'s ''three-peat'', and denied the registration. Later that year, USC fan Kyle Bunch began selling his own "Three-Pete" T-shirts. He discontinued sales once he was notified that he was infringing upon the Riles & Co. trademark.

== Three-peats in North American leagues/championships == There have been numerous instances of teams winning three or more consecutive championships in the National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, National Football League, and Australian Football League, most of which occurred prior to the advent of the term ''three-peat''.

==National Football League== In the National Football League (NFL), a Super Bowl championship three-peat has not been accomplished. Two-time defending Super Bowl champions who failed to three-peat include the Green Bay Packers (1968), Miami Dolphins (1974), Pittsburgh Steelers (twice: 1976, 1980), San Francisco 49ers (1990), Dallas Cowboys (1994), Denver Broncos (1999), New England Patriots (2005), and Kansas City Chiefs (2024). The first eight teams failed to return to the title game in the third season (indicated in parentheses); the Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles.<ref name="NBC">{{cite news |last1=Nadkarni |first1=Rohan |title=Will the Chiefs become the first team to three-peat? Here's what went wrong for past contenders |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/chiefs-three-straight-super-bowls-rcna169589 |access-date=4 November 2024 |work=NBC News |date=5 September 2024 |language=en}}</ref>

The Buffalo Bills went to 4 consecutive Super Bowls as the AFC champions from 1990 to 1993, which is a feat unmatched in NFL history; however, they lost in every appearance. The Miami Dolphins (1971–73), New England Patriots (2016–18), and Kansas City Chiefs (2022–24) have each won 3 consecutive Conference championships (and appeared in 3 straight Super Bowls) in their history.

In the early years of the NFL, decades before the introduction of either the term ''three-peat'' or the Super Bowl, the Packers won three consecutive NFL titles from 1929–31. This was achieved without playing any postseason playoff games, as the league title was determined at that time from the season standings. In addition, the Packers won the NFL championship in 1965, at a time when the rival NFL and AFL played separate exclusive championships. They then followed that 1965 championship with their first two Super Bowl victories in 1966 and 1967 (their Super Bowl berths were earned by winning both the 1966 NFL Championship Game and 1967 NFL Championship Game), thereby winning championships three years in a row.

==Related terms== There have been efforts to come up with a similarly clever name for the potential fourth consecutive championship in the year following a three-peat. ''Quat-row'' was trademarked by Lakers fan and graphic artist Jerry Leibowitz because he felt ''four-peat'' "didn't make any sense phonetically",<ref>{{cite news|url=https://labusinessjournal.com/news/labjs-la-stories-the-roving-eye-16/|title=LABJ's LA Stories / The Roving Eye|newspaper=Los Angeles Business Journal|date=April 20, 2003|access-date=September 1, 2025}}</ref> though it's thus far failed to catch on and the latter continues to be the primary term. Since ''three-peat'' came into usage, however, only one team in major American sports has been able to achieve at least four in a row: Hendrick Motorsports with driver Jimmie Johnson, who won five NASCAR Cup Series championships in a row from 2006 to 2010.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hendrickmotorsports.com/news/articles/6273/johnsons-four-peat-a-media-favorite|title=Johnson's four-peat a media favorite|website=Hendrick Motorsports|date=December 7, 2009|access-date=September 1, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Hinton|first=Ed|url=https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/cup/columns/story?columnist=hinton_ed&id=4477413|title=Best storyline?

There are also terms for winning three trophies in the same season: *Triple Crown and Grand Slam – various sports *Treble (association football)

The trifecta (also known as a tricast, triactor or tierce) is a concept in gambling in which a bettor successfully guesses the win, place and show in a particular race.

Rather than ''three-peat'', English-speaking people may instead talk of a hat trick of championships, or simply a three-in-a-row.
