(S23) - PT3 - Dream Team

[Mysa]

In general, the NSFL has opened its borders to an extremely wide-ranging variety of cities. Generally speaking, save for maybe parts of the Midwest (where the NSFL has Kansas City and Minnesota), most major geographic regions are covered. As a result, either a midwestern team or far north-east team would be the most sensible location for a new team – especially because its best representation currently appears to be Philadelphia. A New York, Boston, Buffalo, or Pittsburgh team would make the most sense to include, although the third of these options would not reach a large audience. I also cannot, in good conscience, include Pittsburgh as a lifelong Baltimore Ravens fan, so that one’s out too.

Generally, I don’t care for New York sports, so for me the choice really ends up being Boston, which makes for a nice foil for the Butchers, Liberty, and Hawks. I’d prefer to stay away from imagery in the NFL – and the Patriots are a bit too on-the-nose as an American sports team. And I would want a team that straddles the line between the brutality of the Butchers and the classical American iconography of the Liberty – indeed, a picture of Lady Justice meting out punishment to other teams is intriguing, but again too on-the-nose for the United States (and probably too controversial for my tastes). Maybe something like the Boston Pioneers would be a little more palatable?
