As the NSFL expands, I believe Rochester, NY would be a great site for a new team. Sports teams thrive here in Rochester as the Red Wings have been playing baseball here since 1899 and have won a total of 19 league titles. The Razorsharks dominated the ABA and PBL basketball leagues by having won a total of 8 championships, while only being active since 2005. Minor league hockey has seen its share of success as well, as the Rochester Americans have won 6 Calder Cups and have topped their division 14 times while playing here since 1956.
Professionally speaking, the Rochester Royals won an NBA championship in 1951 before eventually becoming the Sacramento Kings, the franchises only championship. The original Rochester Knighthawks playing professional lacrosse, won a total of 8 championships and 10 division titles from 1955 to 2019. Rochester has its name etched in professional football history as well, as the Rochester Jeffersons, or the "Jeffs", used to play here at Edgerton Park.
It is clear that teams who play in Rochester tend to be very successful. I believe bringing back the Rochester Jeffersons would be an interesting name for a new expansion team in the NSFL while wearing a unique colored uniform of Purple, Red and White. Although, dont be surprised if they win the championship in their first season.
