(S23) - PT3 - Dream Team

[StamkosFan]

I think it would be neat to see a franchise take on an homage to Nordic history other than the generic “Vikings”. It would be lovely to have branding that spiced things up and was unique, to have a franchise that dared to separate itself, to be bold and take risks. And it would also be great to have a unique location; and since sim league teams tend to avoid Ohio for some reason, despite its importance in the Midwestern US, I think placing a team there would both avoid the pitfall of going somewhere way too obscure. Any of the biggest cities in Ohio are likely familiar to anyone with minimal knowledge of US city centers or real life sports franchises. So placing the team in Columbus, the Ohioan capital and most populous city in the state, would be perfect. Now for the name; a Nordic theme would be interesting, and likely some sort of Nordic monster would be the most suitable for the purposes of creating a logo as well as a name that has meaning. While Kraken is an option, I would like the team to be a bit bolder, to go where no one has gone before. So my choice would be to name the team the Draugr (Nordic undead); they could have all the cool zombie-themed branding without calling themselves something as dull and mainstream as the Zombies. I think the Columbus Draugr would be an apt fit for the NSFL.
