S59 mPT #1 Expansion City
#76

Get me over to that European expansion team based out of Alaska! There is a strategic advantage to playing here - year long training on the ice and potential for beautiful outdoor games on the regular. I hear there could be an issue with Eagles swooping down to steal the picks, but that is a matter to be dealt with later

We've done a really good job of selecting cities over the years for expansion and I imagine it'll be the same in S60. One city I'd really like to see represented is Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Both are big hockey markets that aren't represented right now and would be killer spots for a new team. Playing off the NHL teams since I'm unoriginal it'd be really cool to see a team use orange and black, much like the Carolina Kraken. That pops.

The only thing that would rip Sean Gatez away from being in the  in LA would be if Denver was an expansion city. The Denver Yeti's would get Sean to consider leaving his respective team. Their Logo would be a Yeti riding a Yeti bike while drinking a Yeti from Great Divide and a Yeti Cooler is strapped to his back. Of course the team would be sponsored by the bike company, the cooler company, and the brewery. It helps that 2 of those companies are located within 20 miles of Denver and Im sure that the cooler company would go ahead and move their headquarters to Denver. This branding would be so quintessentially "Colorado" that the promotion ideas are endless. Stuffed yetis for the kids. Ride your Yeti to the stadium for a group meetup before the game. "One lucky fan takes home a yeti" night where they spin a wheel to tell them which yeti will be the prize. The colors would be Teal, Brown, and White. The stadium would be called the Camp Ground, and fans would be Snowmen.

I love space and think aliens are hella cool. I probably wouldn't leave the Aurora anyway but the New Mexico Invaders would be a kickass franchise and it would be very far in terms of branding from what we currently have in the league. The team would be based in Albuquerque but since the whole alien theme is more relevant to Roswell, using New Mexico in the name would make more sense.

Yes, I reuse the same branding on every PT that brings up that question.

Calvin Hobbes is very happy in New England Wolfpack but the one branding that could draw him away would be a good Viking themed team as that's always been a soft spot and an area of interest for his entire life.

Mika is very very attached to the Minnesota Monarchs. To see her leave over branding it would need to be spectacular. My home town has an SPHL team called the Pensacola Ice Flyers. Formerly the Ice Pilots. She is a sucker for planes. Well jets. Nice jets too, not this vague Winnipeg nonsense. I’m talking F-22s and F-35s

Literally any branding could rip me from the clutches of @WannabeFinn since he smells.

But truthfully it would have to be something like Tampa’s new branding. Super aesthetic, super pleasing to the eyes, and it would have to fit my style. Tampa’s branding is my favorite in the league by far because I am super into that 90’s Miami aesthetic, so I’m not sure another type of branding could come around that I would be like “oh yeah, I’m leaving Buffalo for sure.” Maybe something super obnoxious that I could support ironically… like the D.C. Screaming Eagles and their branding is a big obnoxious bald eagle with American flags all over the place and stars and stripes on every inch of the uniform. Or something really stupid like the Louisiana Mud Bugs or the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (that last one is a real team by the way). Basically, if the team takes itself seriously at all with its branding, I wouldn’t be interested.

I just did 150 words for the mini PT fuck my life lmao

If one of the expansion teams was themed after my favorite band Rush, I would bolt for them in a heart beat. Lakeside Park Rush or something like that would be awesome. The starman logo would be awesome for a team as well. Imagine hearing the heavy guitar intro of Tom Sawyer after every goal?

I think that there are few cities which deserve to have SHL team. Pittsburgh, Nashville and Washington are definitely few of them. However, I applied to be a GM aswell. I don't think that I will get this spots just because of previous experience and scandals in this league, but my idea was to make Pittsburgh Beavers or Nashville/Washington Sharks.

Pittsburgh are legendary team hockey wise and they have some real life experience with beavers there. I think it would go perfectly well. About Nashville or Washington Sharks there aren't anything spectacular. There isn't huge story or anything else. These are just two great cities with pretty basic team name, but with pretty insane branding.

I have logos for both teams and they are both insane. Teams are looking good and both teams would definitely be some of the greatest looking franchises and performing franchises in this league for sure.

If I have to talk about other teams (which we haven't seen yet and I don't know about too), it would be interesting to see teams located in Europe or just out of America. Would be interesting to see team in Helsinki, Stockholm or maybe Moscow or London. I know it's mostly about USA and Canada, but adding few other big countries to the map would be interesting. There should be limits that you can't make a team in specific places which are too small, but this idea is pretty cool, I think. Many players would be interested to see that too, I think. 

Of course, it's a two way street, because there would be specific users who don't want to play for a team which is located out of current country, but who knows. It might be interesting. However - it would be interesting, but that's just my opinion.

The only branding that could probably rip me away from New England would be something along the lines of the Portland Salmon. Yes, I know we already have a pink fish in the Barracuda, but legit, my Salmon would be badass!

Whilst I could never leave a city as great as Seattle, for my friend Simon, I am really hoping to see a team come back to Montreal. There is a lot to use with the Quebecois identity, Montreal and Québec's city/provincial symbols. Really, I am just hoping that whatever team comes next really embraces their city's identity in their branding as opposed to just using it as a backdrop to accent their own ideas. In particular for a MTL team, seeing iconography such as the Fleur-de-Lis, or the other flowers on the flag, or even having a Saltire or Heraldic Cross on the secondary logo would make me have a great deal of appreciation for the new team.

As a Devil's fan I'd love to see a team in NJ. Manhattan already ripped off the Devils colour scheme (Rangers suck) though so it wouldn't feel the same. Based off what we've seen recently with branding and rebranding, I don't think the Blizzard have any worries of me leaving.

It'd be really cool to have a team in Ottawa given that's where I've spent my whole life. Probably the only way I'd ever leave Baltimore would be wayyy down the line if there was an Ottawa team. Branding doesn't matter too much to me, just make sure it uses the city's colours or red black and white.

Aron Hernadivic would only leave the Buffalo Stampede if one of the expansion teams was placed on the planet of Sardang. This would allow Hernadivic the opportunity to get out and explore the galaxy, maybe becoming the next Star-Lord, who knows!
