S82 mPT #4: Smoke Signal Due: Sunday, May 18th @ 11:59 PM PST

The Argonauts commission a new ship for our battle fleet stationed in the Puget Sound, named after and furnished with the sensibilities of our new addition in mind -- the upkeep costs are tremendous but the show of power is worth it

The Minnesota Monarchs could have town criers to announce their signings, extensions and other important team news, like every decent self-respecting kingdom used to have back in the day.

For the Detroit Falcons, a Falcon could fly over to the head office, and hold a message in between their fangs which announces their next signing. Just like a raven, like old times.

I think for any extension we need to have a team themed video showcasing how much that player means to the team and that they are honoured to sign them once again. Preferably with the theme of the following video.

The New Orleans Specters could have the new signings appear under a sheet that would be pulled off as they announce the player, kinda like the masked singer. On second thought people may think it's a kkk thing so probably not a good idea.

All hirings, signings, and firings notifications are done by Falcon. As in you need to have that treat bag for them, wave it around wildly, hood the falcon once it's landed, then have it perch on your arm as you retrieve the news from it's leg.

To announce hirings and signings the Hamilton Steelhawks have built an animatronic hawk out of steel that flies over the city of Hamilton and squawks out announcements.

Manhattan could do a parody of whatever culturally significant media is the cool thing at the time of the signings, or in other words participating in the thing that is "all the rage".

Over in Quebec we actually have the new signing walk around town dressed as a giant owl on the day they are picked up. People always end up asking "Who?" anyways...

Every time a new member of the Minnesota Monarchs are announced, they are given their custom-edition Monarch crown. They have to bring it everywhere, and if they ever lose it, they have to leave the team in disgrace.

We have a stack of contracts sitting on a table in the Steelhawks locker room. Come signing time, all of the current players and prospective players are gathered in the room. What ensues next is a battle royale style matchup for everyone to grab the best contract.

They have a literal stampede in downtown Buffalo. Think of it as the running of the bulls in Spain, but they are Buffalo. Slightly less aggressive. But slightly more smelly.

The unique part of a Specters signing, is that every contract signed, comes along with a full pot of good ole Cajun gumbo. A special batch that is only made up for this specific reason. They say that it is the best gumbo that has ever been created.

With the way the league is trying to attract new viewers, the Montreal Patriotes announce all of their signings on TikTok first, then weChat, to try to gain new fans in Asia.

I suppose if we want to be on brand then we'd have to... Send a message. *zing*

In this case I think we'd leave a fake dead body on the side of a street in downtown Chicago with some hiring message pinned to it.
