I spy some future Triple-A teams. But how far in the future? When will New Orleans retake the stage? N.O. Parades. When will cities stop being arrogant and do a sizable minor league team before preaching the leap for the big show. That’s a deal breaker for me. Do you think Canada should flex a nationally representative brand, and do so multi-nodally in the NFL and MLB?

Portland Talls a good MiLb or MLB team? Carolina Cougar Cats. Orlando Suns. Utah Raptors. Would Montreal Expos or Monarchs fly a triple-A rebirth?

On deck Detroit. & Houston. & Atlanta.

Big Four in Detroit. Detroit Arsenal just tickles the ear.

Missing hockey in a Southline roar (or meow) along Arizona, Texas and ATL. We’d say Houston but the ambience might be more for Austin. Probably more Canadians or waffles there. Probably just too many more soccer fans in Phoenix and Houston. Atlanta, that and Basketball-Americans. A surprise to me is bigtime soccer not planted in Tucson or Phoenix-Glendale, but what do I know about the pesos in Arizona? And who knows if the NHL cares to really be there with greedy goons wanting to milk taxpayers.

And while we are at it, if the likes of Houston and Portland are pompous without so much as a Tier 3 team for the minor professional ranks, then that’s a NO from me.

Las Vegas for some jetset laundering reason has all the leagues panting to be in that shell. Game. Shell game. It’s the size of Cincinnati market but how many borned-homeboys? Are they leasing California fans and Epcot slots? Feels like Major League Baseball is closer to having Team Coke versus the Apples.

Seattle is a return away from being Big Five. Utah looks to be in a lot of our lifetimes.

Minor League Artificial Intelligence slop for Utah Raptors and Nashville Stars affiliates

 I cannot personally decide if I like Utah Raptors or Eagles more. (Pooh on you Philly or Toronto (unrespectfully)).

Tennessee Smokies is solid. Or even Tennessee Countries or Sounds sounds good. I can’t decide.

Personally, I’m not a fan of a Nashville Stars brand. I mean, I’m a Cincinnati guy, and the star theme fits, but the harping on separatism beat is a bad drum. And I feel like Americana is on life support with fixations on differences (in the vein of cultural salad slop versus a melting pot theme). Life is too short. World demography is reality.

Innywayz anyyyyyyyyyyway

Enjoy the Pacifics out in Oregon taking on the Virginia Spider Monkeys

And Boise v. Oakland. And Montanamen vs. the Friendlyghosts. Enjoy them even if A.I. trolls me relentlessly like an Indian Chinamen rabbi Roosky.

Maybe we could shift to have the Jackson Joeboos affiliate be for the Cleveland Engines, Indians or Guardian whatevertheyares, taking on the New Orleans Parades.

Relentless A.i. trollslop 

The Last Leaves of Big Leagues

It’s all this quarter century.

Let me attempt to be poeticthetically: The Last Leaves of the Fall.

Oakland A’s came two decades past the Expos vacating.

Raiders shuffled again. Rams were before that. Is Jacksonville stuck? Is the Buildaburger too big to pass up Londonistan over the like of a Jacksonville shift to Toronto or Louisville before any such leap?

Oakland, the overgrown ghetto, got the round ball smacked across the Bay. Them SuperSonics fell after Vancouver. A lot of rain up there, but isn’t NBA indoors?

Atlanta’s re-loss was Winnipeg’s regain.

Tier 3 hockey in Atlanta area.

Seattle and St. Louis have been losers and gainers. Oakland and Vancouver toast. 

Utah Raptors & Frontiers or Eagles, oh my

 

Throwback to before Mammoth with my 2019 way. 

Utah Eagles, like Raptors, isn’t really for the hardwood either. Americana belongs beyond Philly. Though Utah Turkey could ring with Franklin fans.

Would a good Chicago Fire rival be Indiana Backed Blue?

 

Not sorry

Nod back (to the old) Crew logo

Major League Soccer. Would you welcome an Indiana Infantry . . .

I’ve made mention before. I’m attempting to hit on the soccer vibe. Leave the beautification of the turf and logo to the pros. I’ll do the weird prose.

Will Indianapolis have a section in the stand for mounted infantry? Another section called, “dismounted”, or the platoon office. “Motor Pool” for tailgating?

I might totally be off the mark with this army patch vibe AND artintell, but would this be a decent team/fan crest for Indy Infantry? The Brigade. 

Show me a better logo for the blue chord confetti…

Cincinnati Westerners AHL team taking on a Houston Texas Tumbleweeds

Cowboy theme for Houston or a “The West” style with Greco Roman pillar and flare for the Ohio River. Pioneer theme for Cinci AHL maybe. Different times meant different western perspective (relatively). Beyond the Appalachian Mountains was the West in the 1700s.

Selfish though I may be, I wish the Mighty Ducks would be a comeback to Cincinnati after I’d order the Gulls to be the NHL team in San Diego, and Anaheim become the Mohicans or Aztecs of AHL.

More of the AI slop…

Flatboat is baller

BushLeague Basketball funky fan flex

Laketown Squadron of Greater New Orleans. Rip City Remix of Portlandia. San Diego Clippers for the playback.

Let’s now call the G-league triple-A and the NCAA a well-paid double-A.

Pretty much at the house are Memphis, OKC, SLC and the likes of the Cleveland Charge (close to the vest at the vested). Motor City Cruise is slick.

Oh, but wouldn’t I love to defy the geography sense to have some Cincinnati Celtics…

West Coast Whales v. Kentucky Colonels. At it again.

 Do your thing, designers. I’ll hit the map.

Halloween Apocalypse effigies for Kentucky basketball.

Seattle and Las Vegas’s basketball squad. Even for Honolulu and Anchorage.

Would a West Coast brand work in the NFL for the likes of Portland and San Diego dockings?

Arena-ready towns

I don’t know the NBA or NHL specific agreements going on with concerns to arenas. And I don’t care.

Houston has an arena. But Austin might be the better fit for more NHL in Texas. Pittsburgh NBA would be a pitch for western PA NBA lovers.

St. Louis has the indoor big league.

Phx, Atl - oh well. No Zamboni again.

Portland is having issues with the Blazers. They could lose them, let alone get hockey. 10 years ago the NHL here would’ve been my top case.

Cleveland and Indy for NHL are a case.

State your opinion with sprinkled in fact.

Vancouver Whitecaps where to?

 What if big soccer leaves British Columbia? Will it?

Brodie Brazil takes on the leagues:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ir_W0Wsc090&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

Gaps in Vegas and Phoenix west. 

Would Omaha or Pittsburgh want in on any action?

What about Armada Milwaukee or Cleveland Great Lakes Fleet? 

Indy Infantry? Hell of a cammo country brand right there. 

Austin Outlaws NHL

 I know it’s funky and weird and perhaps more apt to be Icebats.

Or Armadillos.

I like Texas Outlaws. What would be boss is calling them the The Ranch. Maybe call the arena that, and not Californiad Icehouse. I’m all vibe and future on that stake. New market.

Houston Beached Whales. Houston is probably too Atlantayee. Too much already going on. Austin probably has more maple syrup.

Vote for NashVegas and Louisville NBA

 Las Vegas isn’t the Homeboyist of Hometowns. It’s a Mirage of excitement. It is also a home of excitement. It’s also reality. I’m a good reality dealer. I think the touristy and home life Nashville and Las Vegas are stronger together.

Is a good name NashVegas Flights? Perhaps NashVegas Knights. Jets. Hops. Express. Airlines?

You can align in the west if a Louisville bugs ya. The Ohio River butts Louisville up to Pacer Country but rivalry is good. Seattle and Vegas could tag for a West Coast Brand of Sonics. A drive-in burger chain could capitalize.

Which next NHL in the east?

 11 million folks in the Golden Horseshoe Ontario….

Canada Airlines. MLB in Vancouver & Montreal

At least for both cities as one franchise.

They can be West, East or North Division aligned. Hell, if someone who is cozy with fancy schmantzy pants math can figure it being (maybe the sole team) both part of the American and National Leagues, do that. An entire farm system with new ballparks the big club can bounce to. All the top parks in all pro baseball, even if a few are 12k seaters.

I’m pretty sure someone can do a sleaker look to the cap or uni. One day the leaf. Next series the jet. That cool Special Operations logo in North American military forces history.  The goalie mask on Halloween. We will all be jealous. But another contender for Yankees level dollars, north pesos, whatever. A Sasquatch hat in Saskatoon. Air Canada. “Air Canada” to the “blame Canada tune”.

Nashville Stars minor league squads

Which level of baseball could be the Lexington Riders/ Kentucky Blues?

Or does Memphis Blue Birds sound like a better removal of St. Louis connection, in spite of the Mighty Miss Sizzip?

Should the old house in Nashville stand to keep some boys close? Could a trip-A or dub-A squad bounce between the capital and Knoxville, or should affiliates all swap out to have an all- Tennessee proximity to the big club’s house?

Below, I had made a fictitious minor league system, sharing a lot of current ballparks, with of course the suspensions of reality like the players union, stadium standards of respective levels of pro ball:

Jersey Kings MLB?

A few questions I have: where would be an ideal location? Is a barge stadium too much of a security pain? Could Jersey put their team on Staten Island, lol?

What kind of name does NJ want? The Barons. Jackals (the Jacks), the Hops?

Meta AI sucks. Protectionists gibberish 

Staten Island has some views

WNBA specific stadium

And let me be real. Let’s make the seating lesser.

I’ll go further. In my scenario I’ll go for a WNBA city that has no NBA counterpart. Now, there’s Vegas and Connecticut. I’ll do Cincinnati.

Is that wise to be a smaller venue in a big build. No. Or inferring in a sexist or factual way “lesser”? And no. I’m suspending wisdom. Perhaps a smaller venue can be that of a junior college, or smaller campus.

If a big businessman and alum of a smaller school leverages alumni association & Vatican dollars he could build on his ol campus. Division 3 shiny arena fantasized. My hometown of Cincinnati has Mount St. Joseph and that fits the bill. 10,000 seat packed house. Maybe they can play some games in bigger venues in the decades to come. Maybe Cinci will have NHL and/or NBA by then.

Then we can call the team Queen City. The Cincinnati Royals again. Cincinnati Sisters (brought to you, in part, by the pope).

A.i. is wild ….and now you get the picture

Okay so maybe we should do 15k seats or even 18? Build some new eco parking garage or something 

Oh my, A.i. I think whipped up a “futuristic” force-field dome.

The Seattle Trailsonics?!

 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zl0Jt-R-ao4&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

If they have to take the Afroheavy franchise out of commie Portland, Las Vegas and Seattle aren’t as far a stretch as Louisville, even though Sin and Coffee rain city are thought to be tops for expansion bids according to buzz.

Decade in review ~2015 - …the Difference 10 years takes us to 2026

Baseball expansion burning on my mind, around 2015 I had Charlotte & Portland pegged for the nods.

In 2026 I’m seeing Nashville & Salt Lake City in their stead. Utah MLB was just not on my list of feasibility a decade ago. Speaking of Nashvegas…

I wasn’t huge on Vegas. Cautionary tales vacationland Yankee Florida, especially Tampa had me backed off even beyond gambling, let alone expanding the NBA to Sin City or scooting a MLB franchise there.

To me Big Four there in Vegas is still nuts. The economic incentives to diversify economic migrancy there beyond the service economy leaves me wonder if businesses will ever pay taxes there. Are they aiming for more visiting fans than home team ones?

Will NBA be back to Seattle? Will NHL ever be in Portland. How hard does ice melt in Houston or Austin? Arizona isn’t Coyotes anymore. They reincarnated in Utah. Ice melts there an a Mammoth came out. Big league hockey costs almost the most money it takes for a market to support a team. MLB takes an amount well north of $100 billion to house a team. Then NHL at about half that. Then NFL. Then NBA. And alas MLS. The money is over the mountain in Utah baseball.

I guess I should mention it was actually floated out into the business of baseball to consider splitting time for the ol’ devil Rays to part time in Tampa along with Montreal. Forget it, Frenchies. The try didn’t go through.

Any hoot, time flies. Any NFL Maps search in my blog will show there’s no enormous gaps beckoning the league, but you can bet the momentum in the likes of Utah, and abandoned mirages of San Diego and Oakland can feel fever pitch.

MLS with/without Maps

 

Gateway vs. Southlakes

Football Club insert town name.

Soccer Club city state

I guess saying a city is a tiger is as lame as any other logo staffed with mercenaries from outside the hometown, let alone country, but I just wish there was a little more fun with it. NBA has the Golden State Warriors.

I’m thinking of fun names like The Ranch. Oklahoma or New Mexico? Ranchers United.

A team for Appalachia: Bootleggers Utd.

There are more in the blog. Armada. Great Lakes. Couldn’t Saint Louis and hockey camps Southlakes for Atlanta and Houston be funner? Yeah, funner.

Oh, AI. You’re goofy still.

Pick some Lady Basketleague Teams

 Meta AI sucks. For the Boston Dollies, they called you people the Dolts in a fancy manner. So the AI might be generated from London. Tried twice for St. Louis Keepers and the AI must be a Francophone from the Congo. The Florida Miracles and Carolina Cats are proudly presented.

Datacastle on YouTube 

Note that LV and Connecticut are the franchises without NBA counterparts 

We Wish? Ladies KC Cowgirls vs. Nashville Drive….or…this WNBA

 Kansas City Drive contextually has history. But KC Cowgirls has alliteration.

What names should they be?

WNBA next gal towns

 

Where next? NBA towns like Denver? San Antonio and Houston used to.

St. Louis and KC are the Show Me state minus the guys. Back to Utah and Florida also maybe. New markets like Cinci, Pittsburgh or even Omaha & Boise. White viewership is undeniably important.

Nashville and Austin are hip towns. Tennessee Dollies. Her effigy sewing a flag on a rocker. Honolulu’s turn maybe. Montreal. The Calgary Dames. The league used to be in towns like Tulsa, Charlotte and Miami.

NBA -without states map

 For me, Las Vegas should trade MLB to have another team.

How about a team called Showmen for the Show-me state?

A team called West Coast could have a bigger Alaskan Hawaiian fan base along with Seattle and Vegas.

Should I dot Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St.L, KC?

NHL with&without Maps

 Toronto 2? Ontario, Not California.

Some say Houston. Saskatoon Squatch.
