All out of our teams are based out of North America, if we are discussing expansion, then we are reaching plenty of players from very diverse backgrounds. Bringing culture to our locker rooms and opening things some would never see without the sport. If I was able to get control of the location of the expansion team and able to put it together. I would base my team in Central Europe. Although it may be a struggle at first to bring in fans due to the popularity of soccer (football), rugby and motorsport. I feel there is plenty of room to bring in a team and grow a market share greatly out of reach currently.
Germany would be a likely location as it's located in a good country, with train access to multiple surrounding countries to bring in more fans across Europe. The specifics of the expansion team would more likely be located in Munich. South Germany where reached by everyone and home of oktoberfest. Our team name would be. Munich Mercs. With a assassin logo with a Mercedes star in his hand. As stuggart is just east of munich where mercedes F1 HQ is. And what a sponsor to have when trying to expand over seas.
This franchise in this location would bring fast amount of fans from all over Europe. Our players would get to experience different culture and shine on the world stage. Tv revenue would jump, salaries would rise and it would be beneficial to every aspect of the league. And who doesn't want to be around for oktoberfest. If you want to break the walls on a new market. This is it. Thank me later.

I want to choose Pittsburgh because that's where I grew up. The best name has already been taken by the old AFL team the Pittsburgh Power. Alliteration is the best. I can't use Pirates because a team that claims to play baseball uses it. No proof has been given of said team playing baseball but what can you do? I was having trouble finding a good name for the Pittsburgh team. In the end, I switched what city I would choose to Helena, Montana. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, there are no NSFL teams nearby so there's no competition fanwise. Secondly, there are no sports teams there at all so it would be nice for them to have a team to root for. Finally, There are a lot of great options for team names. The Helena Hive would be a good one but I doubt that bees are very common in Helena. I really like the name The Helena Hyenas because I imagine that there are a lot of Hyenas near Helena. I was going to pick it until I came across the best name possible, The Helena Jalapenos. I know that you're wondering why I picked that name. There aren't any jalapenos grown in Helena. I just love the idea of it not being the same letter but it sounds the same. In conclusion, the next expansion team should be the Helena Jalapenos.

As I am the "Kiwi Kicker" I will be the first to say that the continent of Oceania deserves a team, or more specifically the country of New Zealand deserves a team. Our capital city of Wellington already has a great sports culture featuring many different teams and sports. Rugby, Football, Basketball, and even Cricket have professional teams and arenas to play at. If the National Simulation Football League team needs to share a stadium they can but there is also room for a new stadium allowing the city to show how much a new team means to the city. Now, what do we name the team... Well, after our greatest export. The Lord of the Rings? Wrong! It's the Musical Comedy duo composed of musicians Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS! The grammy-award winning duo has done so much for our country and the "Wellington Conchords" would be a fantastic addition to our league. And even though the travel duties will be insanely hectic, It will be worth it in the long run for the future expansion of our league. The mock logo for the team is a visual take on the band name "Flight of the Conchords", where there is a musical note or "chord" with wings showing its flight capabilities, along with the name of the city and the name of the team. Who knows if this team will ever come to fruition, but this early take on a new team could absolutely be a successful one at that.

As a fan of the real-life Baltimore Ravens, my first instinct for any expansion question is "put a team in Baltimore!" But with the existence of the Baltimore Hawks that isn't really an issue. So with the lineup what would my second choice be? Well, New York is a huge market that we don't seem to be tapping into. So my location of choice would be New York. As for the name, I'm usually a big fan of having a connected brand to other sports, so I would have the Rangers as a choice but would ultimately leave it up to a vote among fans. It would also be a good idea since the expansion has to be equal on both conferences, to have the other conference team also be placed in New York, or New Jersey. This would allow for an easy to set up, a ready-made rivalry that allows the league to save money on 1 fewer stadium since the teams could share. As for the colors, I think keeping the blue of the real New York teams would be easy on the eyes, though I would go with a dark blue to set them apart from the Sailfish's light blue/white mix.

Finally we are talking about expansion, fine. Looking at the current teams in the NSFL, it is clear to see that an expansion should consider to announce a team from overseas, namely from Europe. With the big S22 class and thereafter, a trend of more and more European players to join the league can be noted. In the opposite of the NFL we are based off, we don‘t have the disadvantages of a European franchise. There is no travelling to games and the time differences are already given, but don‘t affect any games or league stuff.
But where to place a franchise in the nation conglomerate called Europe? That‘s a hard decision. I, for me, have decided prior to joining the NSFL, what team is needed in Football. No matter what, no matter where. It is situated in Austria, because why not, and the team is called the Lichtenau Graders. Now you‘ll have two questions – what on earth is Lichtenau and why are they called Graders? Well, first, Lichtenau is a small village in the north of Austria. It‘s known for it‘s farmers and for one special company, doing earthworks. Lichtenau makes up for its small size with it‘s enthusiasm for Football. Nowhere you go you‘ll be able to avoid two topics, the current milk price or the latest in and outs of the big league. If I still have to explain you the second term – Graders – you may not know what earthworks does and what machines it uses. A Grader is used to plane, flatten or – you may guess it – grade the ground, to even level it. What is more fitting to a Football franchise than planing over the opponent?
I think I made my point clear, and I hope HO will make a step towards me so we setup all the detail for then new franchise, the Lichtenau Graders. I‘ll call the earthworks company so we already start building the stadium. See you next season in Lichtenau!

It is quite obvious that the league needs more expansion into Canada so here is your Montreal Maples
