I am going to say preemptively that if I ended up in charge of creating an expansion franchise with my known comments on the subject matter it would mean that I either acquired blackmail on members of Head Office, or acquired a life debt or two from them. Either way it means that I can create whatever I want with no concern for how it fits into the league. However since I have asked the commissioner about having a team located in a fictional place and was forewarned that it would probably not go over that well; I will at the very least skip the fictional ones that I would prefer to make just to fit in a bit better.
The name of my expansion team would be the New Zealand Happy Hobbits. A team that I picked to please as many people that I know as possible simultaneously. New Zealand is a location that my friend Bex has stated she would approve of as a player at the very least, and honestly it is one that I like well enough from some of the comedians I follow being from there. Plus I like the idea of the league having more international teams.
Now the reason for the mascot is that I believe a large portion of the world now associates New Zealand with the Lord of the Rings franchise. Hobbits are cute and Happy Hobbits are even cuter. The logo would be a happy hobbit ideally smoking a pipe with a kiwi sitting on their head for the New Zealand connection. Which could just be the best logo in the league depending on how capable the artist is of course.
Right now we do not have enough international teams in either league given the benefits of being a simulation league. We do have some fantastical franchises already I would say and so adding another would not be an outlandish occurrence. Plus who wouldn't want to play for a team whose logo is a cute little hobbit smoking a pipe with a fun little bird on their head?
