In a future expansion, I would love to create a team in Des Moines, Iowa. An expansion team right in the middle of the country would allow accessibility for countless football-starved fans in Iowa and surrounding areas. Iowa is the perfect place for a football team. Why? There's nothing else to do! College teams get the attention of all Iowans, and a professional team would attract the most reliable fans in North America.
As for team branding: I propose that we call this team the Iowa Corn. This may sound familiar to those of you that paid attention to the prospect bowl this season, as the Corn have already been tested on the field. The color scheme would be green & gold, representing the corn's stalk and grain colors, with the added bonus of being the same as John Deere's color scheme. Hall so graciously created a nice logo of an ear of corn with markings on it to make it look like a football. They would play in John Deere Stadium, nicknamed "The Cornfield." Have you ever seen one of the greatest sports movies of all time, which is set in Iowa, "Field of Dreams"? If you build it, they will come, and they will be coming to Iowa in the next expansion!
