(S23) - PT3 - Dream Team

[DrChops]

If I was chosen to create a new expansion franchise, I would have two main goals for the new team: pick a location that is under represented in professional sports and pick an unique mascot. I think a good example of this would be the Yellowknife Wraiths, who picked Yellowknife, a place that I did not know existed and I don't think has any professional teams, and the "Wraiths" which is a pretty original mascot.

First, we need to find a new city with an awesome name. There are a few good candidates, there is a place near where I grew up called Dinosaur, Colorado. There is a town in Canada named Moosejaw, there is a number of places called simply "Hell" and "Monkey's Eyebrow" is a place in Kentucky. However, I am going to settle with Bismarck, North Dakota because it represents a region in the United States which doesn't get a lot of media attention and I think 'Bismarck' has a cool sound to it.

Now, we need a mascot. The easy pick is the 'Bismarck Bison' as Bison are native to the area and you get that nice alliteration. I think the 'Bismarck Oilers" could also work, since the main industry in the state is oil. I don't like it because oil is quickly becoming less prominent as more green technologies are taking over, so I am going with the Bison.
