2.5 - What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?
The best branding in the league is undoubtedly the Orange County Otters. Every team needs an otter league and this one is the one to measure all others against. L'Otters have a very clean, timeless logo. Combine that with a fresh color scheme that just works perfectly and makes for some awesome jerseys. This is one brand I could see never getting rebranded or refreshed because there really isn't anything to change. New GMs need only focus on winning. Another good brand in the ISFL is the Yellowknife Wraiths. While they have kind of a weird market, everything else is cool with a good logo and distinctive colors that look great in graphics or on jerseys. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the branding in the league but even though I've made a bunch of sigs for them, the Berlin Fire Salamanders still puzzle me. That is an awful name for a team and their logo is pretty weak. I definitely think they are in need of saving and were outdone by the other expansion team in New York. The Silverbacks actually have a pretty neat cohesive branding with the art deco look that I think other teams could learn from.
2.5 - You’re in charge of entertainment for the Ultimus or Ultimini half-time show. What would you do?
In the NFL, their main event the Super Bowl has the Pepsi Half Time show. If I were in charge of the Ultimus Half Time Show, I would go very much in the same direction but have Coca Cola sponsor our Half Time Show to stick it to bepis. Our half time show would be a lot more focused on the soda though. We don't need weird performance art created by boring pop singers with egos bigger than the stadium. We just need a massive tanker of Coca Cola and we need to hose people down with it. Get B list celebs that are simps for the limelight and make them compete to see who can drink the most cola. Winner gets to perform whatever they want. We need to show the children that soda is okay. Soda should be a part of your balanced breakfast. People should love our soda. We're friendly. I'm just your good old pal Coca Cola. Remember me? We go way back. We need to replace those Gatorade containers with Coca Cola containers. Gatorade isn't good for you. It's disgusting. You don't want that. Athletes should be drinking Coke. Try all of our flavors. They're good for you. Let us into your home. Do not resist.
2.5 - Football is a game that has been going on for a while, loved by fans all over. But what if you were able to make some rule changes? Talk us through your new version of football, and what would be different and why?
Football is a super boring game. There is way too much stoppage. It should be played like hockey. They should have bigger rosters and just rotate who is on the field every few downs. It would lead to some interesting plays. Like the teams are coming off the field but what's this? The offense didn't send a QB back on. This isn't even a real formation, they're just putting out like 4 running backs. The group receives the ball and its mayhem. Which running back has the ball? They tackle them all but its nowhere to be found. That's because there's another new rule. The center sneak. The center can choose not to snap the ball and just run with it. The difference being that if he's downed the ball doesn't stop there. He has to get it to another teammate and they have to get downed. Or they other team could beat him up and steal the ball and run it back. Its very risky. In this scenario the other team recovers from the center. You won't believe what happens next. The defense fielded elite QB Suleiman Ramza. He has the ball now and he's throwing it the opposite way. Now the defense catches for the touchdown. See? Way more interesting. Anyone can score.
