19. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. (Written Task)
There would be some much-needed additions to a brand new stadium in Sarasota. The first thing I’m doing is making sure that the roof is a retractable one. There’s almost nothing worse than the Florida summers, even in picturesque Sarasota, and that is no different on the football field. A retractable roof could give us a home field advantage if we decide we want it open. We could also close it for some of those early fall Florida monsoons. The second thing I’m looking to add would be more public transportation options to get to the stadium. Florida wasn’t designed with all these people and cars in mind. Remember, it was an inhabitable swamp for most of its history. With a brand new set of trains going from many popular surrounding neighborhoods would make the Sailfish one of the most forward thinking franchises in sports. Finally, I would ensure that we have a vast variety of concession options ranging from vendors serving food from local favorites, to traditional gameday fare. (170 Words)
27. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why? (Written Task)
If WR wasn’t available this time around, I would’ve gone back to the reliable and comfortable position of QB. I have a great track record in this league when it comes to having a player at the position, so I think it would be a natural move for me. Even after all these years, I still think that defense wouldn’t be very interesting for me. I want to be involved with putting points on the board. Another position I’d consider would be RB. There have been some really good backs in the league and I did consider strongly going that route. When it comes time to recreate again, I think it’s going to be QB or RB. Unless I come to some sort of epiphany that defense is where it’s at, I don’t think it’ll ever happen. That being said, I’m glad to try out WR this time around. If it wasn’t an option, it still would be a lot of fun to be under center again or make my RB debut. (172 Words)
33. When looking at the teams we have in the ISFL and DSFL, is there any team you believe is in need of a major rebrand or update to their current branding? Why or why not? (Written Task)
Looking at all the teams that we have right now in the ISFL, I think the team that needs the most rebranding is the New York Silverbacks. I get it, they want to go with the King Kong theme. But what I don’t get, is that King Kong is the bad guy. He’s the dude who wants to destroy the city. So, why would you name your team after someone who very well may want to destroy it? Not to mention but still will anyway, there aren’t that many silver back gorillas in Manhattan. Maybe the team could try to be something that is a bit more relevant to the state in which they play. The color scheme is cool enough, but they need to move on. New York should be one of the best brands in any league, it’s arguably the most influential city in the United States of America. Their team names and branding styles should reflect this. (160 Words)
29. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? Why? (Written Task)
The team with the best branding in the league would have to be the Sarasota Sailfish. The cool combination of that Floridian blue and green that lets you know this team is all about violent, predatory, horned aquatic animals that want to rip you apart limb by limb. The logo is a pissed off swordfish. I challenge anyone to volunteer themselves to be on a small boat in the middle of the Sarasota Bay and pull up a sailfish and try to make it out alive. The animals will beat people up, and the logo looks like he’s seen some things before. The color scheme goes together so perfectly, I’ve seen it before in my many sim league years but it’s always been one of my favorite. Anyone who’s been there might remember the Cuba Green Wave, so that’s where my bias began. The stadium art during the sim is also pretty cool for the Sailfish, they might not have the best field in the league but overall branding, it makes me feel like it’s Florida football. Honorable mention to Yellowknife, I love their color scheme, too. (187 Words)
