S59 mPT #1 Expansion City

Man you know what I would love to really see? A Tri-City WA or Seattle team unless there is already a Seattle team I have not checked that out yet but both of those would be really cool options in my eyes.

I love NOLA! I love the Color Scheme, the history behind the name, and those sick, sick logos. However, there would be 2 ways you could get me to fuck off from NOLA and go to your team.
1. Make a team in Connecticut! As a native of CT (in real life lol) I'd love to see pro sports ceome back to Connecticut. Since they were one of the first 13 Colonies... the Connecticut Colonials would be a super cool branding.
2. Make a team in Czechia! As someone who grew up in Czechia (in character), I'd really enjoy to see a team play in Prague. Not sure about a name, though.

I’m going to be honest here, pretty much anything can get me out of Toronto in terms of Location and Branding.  I’m not a fan at all of the irl Toronto team, and the fact that the SHL Toronto team has similar logo and colors to that team isn’t the reason I was happy to be drafted here.  If I were to nail down a specific area that would be of interest to me/Ryu, I would target the Pacific Northwest area of the United States, as that is where Ryu lived most of his life, and an area that interests me, personally.  So a team located in the likes of Salem or Portland would do it for me.

Honestly, I would love a Montreal team. I applied for an expansion team awhile back in the ISFL and made a bid for the Montreal Underground in reference to La ville souterraine. I'd obviously love this branding, but the Montreal market would be ideal. Playing for a former Montreal team in the Juniors has been pretty cool, though.

If I had a chance to sign with someone, I would go all the way back to my country and play in Latvian hockey league for HK Prizma Daugavpils or Continental Hockey League as part of Dinamo Riga roaster. I think, defender of my calibre could have fun there.

Not gonna thank anyone

My pick for the city of an expansion team would be Cleveland Ohio. The city has a very passionate fan base with all three of the professional teams already there and the addition of a 4th would be received well by the city.

I would love to see an expansion team in Pennsylvania, whether it be Philadelphia -- which I feel is more likely -- or my home of Pittsburgh. I don't know that it could rip me away, but it would definitely give me some hesitation at the very least. Otherwise, I'd just love if we could bring back the ole Portland Admirals.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.

GOING DOWN IN STYLE. TOAST4LYFE

I have lots of good ideas. Some of these cities may be taken, but they could still work! There's the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Oakland (or Las Vegas) Raiders, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Hockey Team, Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis (or Los Angeles) Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, or Detroit Lions. I have like 60 more if you have the time for them. Also the London Silly Nannies.

As a Season 59 draftee, I have no desire, will or any thoughts of leaving the Winnipeg Aurora. I know that I am automatically protected under the expansion ruleset as one of the most recent draftees but even if I wasn’t, the Winnipeg Aurora rebranding has been one of the most brilliant I have ever seen.

They took a rather generic looking Jets and turned it into one of the most thoughtful and artistic teams around. The brilliant colour scheme matches the Aurora’s in the sky (which you can actually see from Winnipeg on clear nights) and converted it into one of the most beautiful uniform and logo sets around. Not only that but they paid homage to their old name and identity by including the jet in all the logos which is a really thoughtful and beautiful touch.

I love the Winnipeg Aurora, I love the team and I love their colours. Even if an expansion team came knocking on my door, I would outright refuse because Winnipeg was the team that gave me the chance to play and I want to prove them right.

Nashville, or maybe Cincinnati. Two of my favorite cities that don't sit on the coast and are so fun to explore between the art, drinking, and dining.

Well seeing as I'm already a GM there wouldn't be much branding wise that would pull me away. Certain cities would definitely hold some cool allure and it would be fun to play for them if a team was in Montreal, Pittsburgh, or maybe somewhere obscure like Salt Lake City. But nothing would make me leave LA.

We should expand into Queens, just because. IDK I dont have a good reason, I just figure with a team in Manhattan we should have a natural rival, and theres already IRL Brooklyn and Long Island based teams, so lets go with a Queens one. idk I dont know what you weirdos in New York do

There is only one thing that could ever rip me away from my new found home in NOLA, the Disney Doctors. And I know what your thinking Disney Doctors, that's the only word you could come up with that started with a D? But think about it, the Dis-Knee Doctors!

@TheSparkyDee The Dis-Knee jokes are endless :D


Team branding is not as important for me as it was before my SHL draft more than 12 seasons ago, but I guess I would like to see a team in Pittsburgh and if the timing was right, I could see myself playing for that team.

There's only one new city and branding that could pull me away from Maine and Hamilton - Athens, Georgia. Is it too close to Atlanta to get its own team? Perhaps. But having the Georgia Bulldogs, based out of Athens, Georgia, would lead me to pack my bags in the dead of night and turn my back on both the Timber and the Steelhawks. Between the famous downtown nightlife, to the memories from graduating from UGA, there's nothing that would keep me from the finest college town in the country.
