West Coast Whales of Seattle and Vegas

 Is this a good NBA team brand?

Call them the Ports and interchange the animal imagery? Do a penguin for Christmas. Any number of birds of flight.

Call them the Flights? Aviation. Birds? Helicopter on the jersey one week.

Only fans

                                                  Only one team?

in the Big Four. Big Five.

Throughout the blog I’ve spaketh to many of these mentions before.

San Diego only has the Padres. And soccer I guess.

Green Bay is a technicality. Tailgating. Weekly. It’s a Madison & Milwaukee…and suburbia camper for Packer Nation. Alabama could have an NFL franchise. For my scenario in a blog post, I imaginarily spurred a ton of economic growth in Reform, Alabama for such tailgating. I probably should’ve explored Cullman with consideration towards a halfway to Huntsville, …maybe much the same for Mobile. I was just leaving elbow room from BBQ smog two days in a row for Tuscaloosa or Auburn.

Jacksonville, were you really a placeholder for London? If you move there will they change their team to Monkeys? They can wear burkas and the tunnel music will be Hey Hey we’re the MONKEYs! or whatever Osama used to listen to.

Taking a break from only 1 team for a city in the Big Four or Five league argument, what do you think about a Cleveland Armada for soccer or hockey? Would they have a Devil Dawg Pound fan section?

Oh, Orlando. MmmYeah. Almost.

Oh, Oklahoma.

Does Sacramento go We Wuz Kangz? Mem fuss.

Austin. Kick rrrrSoccer balls. Feetballs. Marco? Marco? COLUMBUS!

Canada doesn’t count. They be North.

Left Out of the Current Convo?

 Houston and Indianapolis for NHL

Indy touts a lot of arena convention but doesn’t slide big time ice. And it’s nestled around American sibling cities of major sports…..(did I say nestled???), I mean smothered in the aisle, thee isle, whatever.

Do you believeland Cleveland for hockey and soccer?

Will Kansas City get more consideration than Louisville for the NBA. Las Vegas has hometown homebody homeboys and loyalty to get ALLLLL of the sports now?!? Geepers. Kentucky is the only state left beckoning big league yum. But back to the rains down in Africa or Todo or something: There aren’t 3 million folks in Kansas to add to the 3.25 million folks in western Missouri. Kentucky has 4.6 million people butted up to Pacerland. And. And. Screw Seattle.

Baseball is the biggest bucks of all in terms of viability for market. There’s no gaping snub going on with the gravity. Texas has teams. SLC wants a pad from the Rocky Mountain hop on the way to Vegas. The biggest grief going is how Nashville rocketed a shadow casting more doubt than Charlotte has known. Montreal might be a snob more than a snub, though I say public dollars to big business is oftentimes shameful.

NFL 34 Teams - 3 New Cities

Jaguars move to Louisville.

Would they be Mustangs instead? What about Horsemen? Kentucky Downs maybe.

Expand:

Utah Stags 

and Portland Whales 

A.I. is still weird. 

Goofy. What are those words?

 Maybe wattles. Maybe Waddles. Okay Portland Penguin or Portland Potties.

A.I. speaks Klingon for commie Portland.

I know I know. Central Texas and Oklahoma Oilers were left out.

Dallas National League team

 Texas Rangers high noon showdown. Not in our lifetime. Fun anyway. What would they be called?

The Boys. Dallas Boys. The Drive. Dallas Drive.

Diesel?

Should they be California Giants?

 Oakland baseball will be a ghost in those parts.

Those Redwoods are big beauty. Angels can float and fly and I wish they would hop California Angel style again from the Inland Empire every once in awhile for Sacramento. SoCal to sacrament. Or is religion racism now? Do Anglo-Saxophones now object?

I give up on making Angels California again

Who is Countryass NBA?

 Pacer country. NASCAR nod.

In a perverted twist, …….is it the Jazz?

You ain’t nothin but a hound bear. Tennessee Grizzlies would be a spread out rebrand. Remember Big Country Reeves? But is Texas big country?

Let’s be honest. It’s a country@$$ accent. It’s the entire NBA

https://dribbble.com/shots/3230120-MEMPHIS-GRIZZLIES-NEW-LOGO-CONCEPT

King of the Countryass MLB

 Who is the countryassest?

Probably Braves Country, right? Dirty south.

MLB big dawgs tubewise are NY, LA, Chicago and Toronto.

Country would be lower in numbers though? If, so wouldn’t the Pirates or Reds fly the flag? West Virginia. Iron mountain. Deep Kentucky spread.

The Braves stranglehold on space is getting grosser. In that expanse should not the Stars take over some of the Knight?

Or does Todo’s tornadic spread center mass at the heart of the windy land? But saying Kansas CITY is too reminiscent sounding of from where some city slicker buys their salsa from nEw YORK CiTy! [like in the commercial? If you’re thinking Rangers, Rockies or ‘Backs, well isn’t that more wagon west?

Shut your big market mouth ‘round here

Will greater SLC and Portland get NFL before Big League Baseball?

Indianapolis about never comes up. Proximity of Cards, Cubs and Reds hurts it. Indiana White Sox, anyone?

Nashville and Charlotte taunt Utah and Oregon for the diamond. These territories are the hot big four of whose next. 

Orlando and Montreal won’t stop. Vancouver popped in. Central Texas screams. Should the west oasises nab bigtime tailgate before the apple pie and porch breezes?

West Coast Ghosts for NHL

 

Or will it be an AHL team? Portland and San Diego could split the brand.

I’ve schemed up how nice Armada would dock up for the Great Lakes tag team.

Those colors be crackin’

United Football League sporting Columbus Aviators and Louisville Kings

 Don’t you just love Wikipedia? I love me some hell out of Wikipedia.

Sacramento, Portland & Montreal are S.O.L.

 Sorry for saying Sht-outta'-Luck.

But look at the ambiance and market regions.

ww.sacbee.com/article315004805.html

Sacramento is sandwiched between the Giants and Mariners in the golden state of already-baseball. Portland of the Oregon-maybe Soviet Union would get it before you. But Utah will get it before you. Denver will finally have a next door neighbor to fight. Great logistics and elbow room following. And its a tetris piece on the way to Las Vegas. Choo choo. Chew chew.

North Carolina has grief from Nashville's brightening star. I'd rather a move for the Rays lube it all. 

Orlando & Montreal? The temperatures are meh. As i've spoken on this blog before, the California Angels & Florida Markins again with multiple smaller ballparks could solve all of this.

Orlando is pretty. I'm sure you're all pretty.

Next AHL ECHL Cities

Louisville, Dayton, Memphis, Evansville come to mind.

Cities like Cincinnati can take a promotion,  right? Whats going on with Deluth?

I think Madison, WI too. Take some time to peruse the SPHL also. Promote Evansville.

SPHL below

Goatheads! I love it. If Tahoe has a team, so can Portland and a lower-than-NHL attendance Phoenix or Tucson.

Milwaukee Meece NHL

 There are some real doozy markets without biggest league hockey. Wisconsin is a built-in rival practically for Chicagoland.

Meece sound good? Or something tagged to Wisconsin better? Chicago seemingly cut them off at the pass with existence of their AHL affiliate Wolves. Wisconsin Wolves has the ring to it. Get them back for jacking the wolves and do Milwaukee Matadors? What’s a good Wisconsin name? Dam Beavers!

But back to Matadors: do some exhibition in Monterrey and re-uinform as the Snow Mexicans. Do a roller blade apparel and equipment deal in those communities to jolt the seeds of the game down yander. We are in fantasyland as it is.

What’s unofficially on the expansion table outside of that Lake Michigan magnetic proximity? 

Portland and Austin are esthetic thoughts on a north and south pick. Cleveland also. Houston and Atlanta are screams of market size. KC and Cinci lack arena big hardwood and ice. Argue your point.

Put next Ohio NBA team in Between Dayton and Cincinnati off I-75

 

What in a name, what is the name?

Ohio Heights? Aviation?

Flight, Power

Ohio Squadron, the Wings, Sorties, Highwaymen, Diesel

Roaddawgs, Roadsters, Coasters 

Arsenal? Armada?

Whatchoo got?

Call the arena Touchdown Jesus arena or Subway Footlong Jesus Arena. IYKYK.

In 1992 the Ohio Glory beat Frankfurt Galaxy

 Don’t we all love Wikipedia? Yes.

Did the Glory only win one game and play for one season? Yes.

I was thinking about NFL Europe thanks to the YouTube algorithm https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yyGJde9lqUc and I had to pop a stop at wiki to remember how long the league lasted. I definitely forgot about the American based teams. Give it a look.

Drew Bledsoe vibes

Where should the Jaguars go? London?!

NFL wants more foreign currency, and London is a world financial center [and mongrel Empire still]. But just because you can does it mean you should? What about America?

Orlando?

Louisville?

San Antonio?

SLC?

Portlandpotty 

Even…Boise before England?

Are Vancouver and Montreal the next AAA cities? Play ball!

 The Vancouver Canadians are an A-ball MiLB affiliate of MLB. They could probably simultaneously play that club in the same ballpark with a new trip-A team. Is it SLC’s affiliate by then?

Montreal, figure it out. Are you the high ball affiliate of Carolina or Nashville?

Take a look at that spread. You can consider pro-towns up north like those in Alberta or Winnipeg too. Or Portland or Boise, and maybe say Lexington, KY or Charleston, WV to the east. Consider Evansville. Of course any number on the map could take a promotion.

Any wildcards for a new MiLB squad for you? Casper Cowboys and some ‘realiving of West Virginia Power? The Mississippi Braves are no longer. No real money in Misses Sip? No team in New Orleans anymore either. Consider existing locations with clubs sharing.

NBA 2075

Ten more teams by then. Hypersonic jets do more for Tokyo and London?

Essentially it’s 7 more states added into the NBA

Pittsburgh Power

Cincinnati Diesel

Louisville Colonels

St. Louis Showmes, the Showmen 

Kansas City Talls

Omaha Oaks

Albuquerque Trucking

Boise Barons

Seattle SuperSonics 

Mexico Monterrey Aviation 

I thought about Ohio Aviation located between Cincinnati and Dayton. Mexico Roughriders. NBA 2050 and 2100 posts have been done in this blog before. This is another stab. What do you got jotted down?

I’ve tossed possibilities around on this blog over the years. Should I do Ohio Heights, Aviation, or St. Louis Showmen, Move the Pelicans to Vegas? Louisville Herd?

Click years below

2050

2100AD

Oakland, Portland and New Orleans Dying

 The anti-Americanism got so strong and ghetto that most of America hates you now. If SuperSonics come back to Seattle it probably would just turn ghettoer, so I’m not actually in favor of it. Seattle Suburbans. Portland suburb bins. Oakland is where the black lies are madder. New Orleans refugee class people mostly just refugeed elsewhere.

Move the Saints to Alabama. Or, San Antonios has a ring to it. The Pelicans can get a 52 genders change to Louisville. Trailblazer Las Vegas.

You can bounce the Trailblazers, Pelicans and Saints. Kick commies, rocks, sand. Touch grass. Touch soccer balls. Ball all you want.

If Portland had to get a team, take hockey. You are not apple pie. You are the Rainbow Coalition with Jessie Jackson wearing a dress and makeup. Oakland, are you Africa? You seem Baptist Muslim.

We done.

Move these NBA franchises

 Pelicans? Clippers? Thunder? 

I wouldn’t do that to OKAYSEE.

But I would def move the Clippers. San Diego or Seattle? My preference would be Louisville.  I’d even take them in Cincinnati. Move and rebrand the Pelicans, too. Maybe take them to Vegas.

What’s your most frustrating Sports void or map gap?

 Los Angeles went without the NFL for 2 decades!

Will Austin get NHL or will they be tethered to the Stars? Atlanta probably still needs more time, but what’s up with the likes of Cleveland, Milwaukee or pinko Portland? Quebec City FOR REAL. Nebraska Diesel?

What about baseball?

And, I’m only going to speak seriously for a change, so here we go:

Nashville, Charlotte and Montreal are in the east.

Austin and San Antonio have a fight on their hands in the future under the big sky umbrella of Texas, as Rangers range.  Samsies for NFL really.

Salt Lake City and Portland out west. Not sure if Portland is American anymore, but Sacramento might have the money.

Churchball: seems like many o’ weekly venue could handle the roadtrip worth of fans. Birmingham can tailgate like Green Bay. Only a million less people in Alabamy over Cheesehat. Likely Alabama would be on its own. Mississippi would still be Saints. Falcons are Falcons. Can we slide Louisville in there?

San Antonio is kind of short & curlies around Cowboys & Texans. Ditto Austin. El Paso meh. Much in the same vein as Alabama is around the oasis Albuquerque. San Diego is an emptiness of sorts. Portland Potties. Kind of leaves the Utah Mountains in my mind. https://sportleaguemaps.com/football/nfl/

NBA

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1nq0r8/heres_a_map_i_made_of_all_nba_teams_organised_by/

Seattle is pretty obvious. Vancouver lost their shot.

St. Louis too tired of black people? Same with Pittsburgh? Don’t need even more spiderheads in Cinci either.

I think Louisville big time beacons bball. Without the Vegas vacancy the old Super Sonics would be a blazingly easy choice. Nobody taking me up on the two town West Coast SuperSonics brand. It happened before with the Kansas City- Omaha Kings. Vegas being more touristy I believe of all towns, part timing it could be pulled off there.

Kansas Royal Chiefs and Gary Bears

 Major baseball and football

Major super cricket and national Elbow ball. Some teams play home in a different jurisdiction 

It’s just a technicality that NewJersey and the crowded DC beltway and NYC know all too well.

Could the Monsters of Midway rebrand to the Chicago Fightin’ Jacksons? Are we still in Kansas anymore?

NFL relocates: Move these AFC

 Louisville would be better than Jacktown Floorduh, would it not?

To hell with a Londonistan move.

Relocate the Chargers. Recoin them Power. But to where?

Portland Power? 

Utah Charge?

Idaho Diesel?

Toronto Power? Norde Force? Mounties? Huge market.

Louisville Lightning? Kentucky Downs? Anyone attached to the Jags brand?

Why Jacksonville over Orlando 30 years ago? Map spread over the more populous but territory-blending Orlando

Have to move two NHL

 You have to. Squirt gun to your head.

Doesn’t have to make sense, but I’ll say it anyway. And really doesn’t have to make sense.

Really want Atlanta to have a team, BUT Florida Panthers to Portland. Rename them the Potties. Or Commies.

Take the Nights and make them Kansas City- Omaha.

Sorry Miami and Vegas, you touristy towns. Be Florida Lightning. I thought about Austin & Atlanta combo camps for a Southlakes Fisherman brand. Maybe rename KC-Omaha Diesel or Trucking. Think of the cross pollination of hockey fans and non-fans for just the brand.

I’m just funnin’

Dick move to not swipe one of two out of both NYC and greater LA, right?

Okay, Islanders where and Ducks where?

Move these MLB too.

 Las Vegas will need backup.

Put the Triple-A club around Portland. New stadium and a lot more high level ball for them. 

Have the West Coast A’s be there par-time too.

Should the Rays go to San Antonio or Salt Lake City? The 28th ranked media market for Utah’s hearth.

San Antonio is #31 south and west and south of Dallas and Houston’s turf. Well, the Colorado club has no close neighbors so that may help settle that matter.

Previous post discusses covering Charlotte and Nashville with relocation.

Has Nashville and SLC taken over the spotlight for Carolina and Portland ?

 What now MLB, no Carolina Atlantics battling Portland Pacifics?

Mountains vs. Sounds?!

Utah ball

Are these basebally names, or are they more footbally?

Tennessee Trucking

Utah Diesel

I know this much: the apparel would supersede baseball lovers if done right.

Farmers. Fishing.

North Country Lumberjacks. Southlakes Hockey in Houston & ATL. Tennessee Travel. The Band.

Move these MLB

Orioles to Charlotte

White Sox to Nashville

Crowded Chicago and capitol.

Expansion can simmer down a bit.
