*Rookie Media (Rookie Tasks P1 T5) - Thoughts on each ISFL team's branding - Froste39 - 09-21-2024
Hello,
I never made one of these in my other Sim leagues, so I wanted to grab the chance and do a quick article on the brandings of the teams here as I need to do Media for the Rookie Tasks anyways. Obviously this is a highly, subjective, biased opinion and I hope I don't offend anyone with it.
Baltimore Hawks I very much like the colors on this one, however the NFL enthusiast in me can't unsee the that the logo is a mix of the Baltimore Ravens and the Arizona Cardinals.
Berlin Fire Salamanders A great underused animal as it's mascot, whichs also looks pretty cool ngl. Instant top tier for me due to that and the fact that I am a German. I mentioned that this was biased, no?
Cape Town Crash Gotta be honest, one of the worst for me. The Rhino is eh and the colour scheme doesn not complement it too much.
Colorado Yeti The idea of making the Yeti only a silhouette, because Yet, duh? is very funny to me. I think making it a "real" depiction of a Yeti with arctic inspired colors would have been better though.
Oska Kaiju A fantastic logo and an even better color scheme makes this one another top tier for me. Bonus points for choosing this mascot for Japan's team. Since Berlin isn't particularily known for it's Salamnders, Osaka is on top of my list so far.
Sarasota Sailfish Not too big on the colours overall, but the fish is an underused mascot and I like the colours just on it, so this one is a solid mid-tier branding of rme.
Yellowknife Wraiths Another top tier. The logo is cool and menacing with the cold eyes translating perfectly into the icecold background. As a big fan of Ice mages in every media, this one is a homer top tier pick.
Arizona Outlaws Another great one due to the coolness factor. Also a big fan of the Red and Gold color scheme, which just....works perfectly. Maybe not Top Tier, but solid A.
Austin Copperheads Looks like a mix of "We have the Dolphins and Jaguars at home", but with the catch that I prefer this one over both of them. Bonus points for matching just the perfect tint of copper for it to look like copper, rather than orange or brown. Also a rather underused mascot, so solid upper mid tier.
Honolulu Hahalua I love Rays and I love the colors here in combination with them. Also the Branding with the native word in it is very cool. Another top tier!
New Orleans Second Line I am a fan of the colur scheme, but I am lost on the brand. Second Line? I am probably not english/american enough to get the refernce and I am sorry.
New York Silverbacks I am not big on apes/Gorillas so this is a hard pass for me unfortunately. Completely biased, but it is what it is.
Orange County Otters The other way around here. I love Otters, so I will ignore that Orang eon Orange looks not terribly great and will just say that being Orange for Orange County is genius. Did I mention I love Otters?
San Jose Sabercats Fantastic colour scheme which meets the exact shade of green that I love + a menacing looking logo make this one a high tier candidate for me as well.

The Second Line is a tradition endemnic to New Orleans itself. During parades, particularly around Mardi Gras, you'd have the "main line", which is the traditional parade, and a bunch of random folk just partying around and following the actual parade, which is the "Second Line". Don't feel bad, I needed to get it explained to me too, since the concept just isn't applicable outside of NOLA itself. But once I had it explained to me, it became one of my top favorite brandings due to how uniquely regional it was.

You will learn to love the Rhino. Believe me I doubted the whole thing because of how great the liberty branding was and it was certainly controversial when the CTC branding was unveiled. Fast forward and I play there and it’s one of my favorite brandings in the league

Purple is NOLAs colour. The Rhino should be navy blue to honour the Philly branding. This would make it one of my favourite brandings in the league.
