PRESS RELEASE: New NSFL Team Announced: The Scranton Scallywags located in Scranton, PA. The Scallywags will play in the newly renovated Dunder Mifflin Paper Mill Stadium that holds 69,000 fans. Sporting brand new Burgundy and Dark Blue uniforms sponsored by Puma, the Scallywags will be on the revolutionary forefront of uniform design. Their logo will be reminiscent of the old Pittsburgh Pirates and it will pay homage to the Scallywag ways of searching for booty all across the seas. Each end zone will feature the skull and crossbones look, with the saying "No Quarter" in hopes that it helps keep opposing offenses from crossing the goal line.
A local by the name of Dwight Schrute had this to say when news of the team broke: "While football is not half as manly as Battle Star Galactic, I am happy that we will be providing our Schrute Farms Beet Shakes at all concession stands." Another local by the name of Jim Halpert had this to say: "We are happy to hear about the new team making it's way here in Scranton. I will be representing a lot of the players and I can't wait to get to work!" For the first game, another Scranton legend by the name of Michael Scott will do the weekly ritual of lighting the paper torch in the north end zone.

You know, I've had about enough of all the franchises in the NSFL following traditional rules about places and names and physics in general. It's time for something new and exciting. That's why the newest franchise to join the league will be located on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Just far enough off the coast to be in international waters. The team name?
[div align=\\\"center\\\"]The Pacific Pearl[/div] We expect to attract fans to attend games, because there's a lot of things that are legal in international waters. Generally fans will be expected not to do anything too stupid or they could be kicked out of the stadium. And if you get kicked out you probably drown. Players will be housed on a pimped out aircraft carrier that the team has purchased and anchored over the pressurized seafloor stadium. The team will wear uniforms with the colours midnight blue and pink, and the logo will be a pearl with a Trident. The stadium will be named "Poseidon's Lair", and will hold 3,000 people. The team's mascot will be Poseidon himself. The team will likely attract a niche group of people to games, meaning the seating doesn't have to be too expansive. The amount of money it takes to get to a game will be pretty high, and there will be spaces to park your yacht or private plane on or next to the aircraft carrier. This isn't your grandmother's football team, and it's not yours either if you're not a millionaire.

I am going to choose my own hometown for this challenge, even though some others in this thread have already talked about it. There are a lot of ideas that come to mind for Washington, D.C., including patriotic ideas like the Independence, the Americans, and the Eagles, and there are always boring ideas like the Senators and the Presidents. The aforementioned boring ideas are too boring, but the Eagles, Americans, and Independence are too redundant with the Liberty, especially since the DC team would be in the same conference. There are a lot of other cliche ideas but for this PT I'm going to refer to DC's flag. The flag has three stars on it, which definitely mean something although I can't remember what it is. And DC, the capital of my country, does not have a star on the nation's flag. Because of DC's ties to stars, I propose the Washington, D.C. Stars as one of the expansion teams. Their logo would be some sort of fancy star (like the Cowboys but better) and their helmet would be solid red with two diagonal red stripes going up and down the sides. I know the color scheme is similar to the Yeti, but nobody likes the Yeti. Plus, the Stars' accent color would be a dark maroon, not gold. The pants would also be red, but the darker red, with two white stripes running down it. The away uniforms would be white, and the spicy home uniforms would be red (worn with white pants, of course).
Code: 258
The Easter Island Stallions.
Now I know what you are thinking: how could an island with 5,000 residents that is 4,000 miles away from mainland United States support an NSFL team? The simple answer is it couldn’t; but would you rather buy a yacht or private jet to go to the underwater proposal? And if people travel to Yellowknife, Canada, where there’s probably more moose than people, than I’m sure it won’t be an issue. For the team name: horses actually outnumber people on Easter Island. In fact, it will be a requirement that players arrive to the game by horseback. The logo will be a horse’s head facing front. The jersey colors will be maroon and gray. The stadium is planned to be built with the statues surrounding the field. This will force tourists to visit the stadium and watch games whether they like it or not. Also, how intimidating would it be for opponents to have 50 statues watching there every move? I mean, what’s a hawk to a conspiracy theory? If you’re a player, you won’t have to worry about housing. Our plan includes building an artificial island right next to Easter Island. State of the art housing along with a training facility will be provided. We’ll also gift you a horse! (non-negotiable).
S16 will see the introduction of the newest NSFL expansion team, the Boston Continentals! Putting a team in Titletown and one of the largest media markets in the U.S. is long overdue, and the New England market has thus far been untapped by either the NSFL or DSFL. The team honors the rich legacy of the city of Boston as a hub of revolutionary activity and where the Continental Army first saw action in the American Revolution. The mascot will be a repurposed Pat Patriot, abandoned by the city’s other football team, which will be renamed Connor Continental. The stadium will seat 70,000 people and actually be located in Concord, but still named for Boston.
Team owner Robert Kraft, best known for his stewardship of the New England Revolution, predicted that the Continentals would win more Ultimus championships than the Otters. “Every season will be a happy ending for the Continentals,” he boasted, clearly referring to the team’s incoming postseason success. Boston media has already embraced the team, with noted Bostonian radio hosts Felger & Mazz calling the Continentals “absolute trash”, “doomed to failure”, and “the worst thing to grace the city of Boston since Kyle Van Noy.” The parade route for the next Ultimus trophy has already been published, and tickets for viewing spots are on sale now. Transgender lesbian, S15 veteran, media extraordinaire, and the sim's punching bag. Fascists and bigots are welcome to fuck off.

Rumblings of new expansion teams forming in the NSFL has everyone wondering where the teams will be located. The answer is easy: TULSA, OKLAHOMA. Geographically, it just makes sense. Regional representation takes the form of San Jose, Orange County, and Arizona to the West, and Philadelphia and Baltimore to the East, with Yellowknife and New Orleans comprising the North and South, respectively. Colorado sits alone in the center of it all, and adding Tulsa to the mix would bring travel distance between the southernmost teams to balance. The Tulsa addition leaves space for the final expansion team to locate more easternly or in the Midwest proper, creating nationwide representation virtually equidistant from each other. Couple this ideal location with the current NSFL teams with being near not one, but two DSFL teams and we've got the next great NSFL destination.
But location, location, location is not all that should be considered in the coming expansion. Tulsa is rich in culture, boasting a number of museums and parks. The Tulsa Zoo is a must visit and let's not even get started on the brothels. Whoo-ee. And if you can't find anything easy to do in Tulsa, you're just miles from major cities like Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Dallas, and Fort Worth, all of which offer exciting possibilities. For the team specific details, I think a nice pink-on-black color scheme would be sharp, and the mascot could be anything phallic in nature, maybe a giant cucumber. The stadium would be renamed for whatever current pop culture starlet is prostituting herself to the media, possibly sponsored by Tinder or GoDaddy. Code: 220 Words In a league like the NSFL, we are always looking to expand, to reach out to new markets and grow the league. Therefore, I’m proposing a new expansion team set in a not so friendly nation just miles of the coast of Florida. Let me introduce you to the next NSFL expansion franchise the Havana 59ers. The 59ers name denotes the year in which General Fidel Castro led a glorious communist revolution, damning his nation to third world status and destroying the relationship with their closest neighboring nation in the process. The 59ers official team colors would be black, hot pink, and baby blue to give off that tropical magic city vibe. The logo would include an aggressive shark on it and a Shark will serve as the 59ers mascot as well. They’re planning to play their first season in Havana’s largest baseball park until some American investors can come in and build them a proper state of the art football stadium for S17. This expansion club will immediately open the league to new future expansion opportunities outside of the United States. The goal is to bring Cuban flair and passion to the game of football, and the owners of the expansion franchise want to see these aspects of their culture translate over to the football field. Sample logo below:
If I was so tasked to bring in a new expansion team to the NSFL, I would venture out to the Great White North and bring a second team into Canada. Currently, there are 7 teams from the USA, and just 1 from Canada. There is an untapped market in Canada, and one team just isn't enough, sorry Yellowknife.
I would place my team in Toronto. Shocking, I know, but it's the right place for a major league sports franchise. The team would follow the same colour scheme as the rest of the teams in the city and wear blue and white. As for the team name, there are a lot of different options that could work. In the end, I would choose to name the team the Toronto Marauders. It's not a name you see very often so that can set itself apart from other franchises. The logo would be of a gallant horse galloping in the wind, plenty to work with to make a great logo. We would immediately supplant the Toronto Argonauts as the marquee football team in the city and play our games at the newly renovated BMO Field. It's right on the train route and has a great grounds area for tailgating. Toronto supports their teams as well as any city and I believe they would embrace the NSFL's newest team, the Toronto Marauders. (229 words) |
