Task 14:
I've written about expansion I think two or three times already, and said that I don't think the ISFL should or even can expand at this point (seeing as how the DSFL almost contracted before S41 and draft classes between r/nfl classes aren't big enough to keep two more teams afloat). The second time I wrote about possible ideas for expansion (team locations placed in Eastern Europe, multiple different locations in several Asian countries). This time I think would be good to write about what the ISFL shouldn't do in terms of new team branding and/or locations.
Task 22:
Soul King Brook is a running back for the Minnesota Grey Ducks. He is a pure downhill, bruising back that was able to effectively gain yards in Season 46 on the ground. He led the team in rushing yards in Minnesota's committee backfield with 918 rushing yards. His 12 rushing touchdowns in S46 was good for second in the DSFL, and is only bested by Reginald Hammerfall who got about 60 more carries than Brook. His 5 yards per carry is second among running backs. This skillset can pair very well sharing a backfield with a receiving back being able to line up both players simultaneously without necessitating an I-Formation or two back formation. The catch of course is that Brook's receiving abilities are very suspect. If he wasn't put in a committee backfield he might have more room to shine, but he only caught 14 receptions all season. With a large TPE gap over RB2 in Mascarpone, Brook will be get the chance to prove as such in Season 47

- Another North American team: There are 11 teams located in the United States (10 in the Lower 48, and one in Hawaii), with another team in Northern Canada. While there are locations one could conceivably place new teams in (e.g Toronto, Atlanta, Philadelphia), there are much broader horizons outside of the United States and Canada. This wouldn't be the case if all of the teams were in North America in my opinion, but with opening the possibility to the rest of the world in Berlin (and now Cape Town), it's much less justifiable.
- Generic/non-specific naming: This isn't much of a problem in the ISFL, but should still be said. If a new team is named something generic it would be very disappointing unless said name/branding is tied to the team's location (e.g a Korean team being named Tigers with a white tiger as mascot/branding)
- Red in color scheme: Four teams already use red in their branding, and in real life red in team branding is ubiquitous.
- Black/grey as main color: Yellowknife already uses black as their main color in their branding (which I am not a fan of), so this another team using black is unlikely. I still feel it needs to be said because pure black/grey jerseys and branding are boring and dreadful. My soul leaves my body every time I see a baseball clip because of grey jerseys.
