Quote:Written Option: There’s been a lot of talk about expansion drafts and what might be in store for the league going forward. If you were in charge of creating an expansion franchise, what would you name it and where would the team be located? In 200 words or more, describe why you picked that name and location and explain why your franchise would make a good NSFL team.
This is an easy peasy question to answer, as I was just turned down for an expansion franchise in the Simulation Hockey League, specifically, the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League. In my application that I put together with my assistant (co) general manager, Jeffie43, we suggested two cities, one on the west coast, and one on the east coast, so I think I would stick with that here. Our west coast team was to be located in the great state of Washington, specifically in Seattle, while our east coast team was to be located in the great province of Ontario, specifically in the City of Ottawa. For Seattle, our colours were to be dark blue, baby blue, and gold, similar to say the Chargers of San Diego and Los Angeles. For Ottawa, our choice of colours was red, gold, and white, similar to that of the Chiefs of Kansas City. We debated back and forth on multiple different names for each city, yet we were able to come to a consensus on both places. For Seattle, we were to be known as the Seattle Tridents, with a seal holding a trident as our primary logo. In Ottawa, we were to go by the Ottawa Redtails, and use some Native Canadian hawk imagery as our logo, as Ottawa is historically home to many First Nations people.
In the end we didnt get selected, but it was still a fun process! (239 words)
