I pitched this for The Other Mailbag, but I think it was suspended before they used it (If not, and just missed it, disregard).
By some quirk, you wake up tomorrow and have complete control of a new professional sports franchise. Among other things, you get to establish the team’s location, mascot and colors. It can be in any of the 4 major team sports (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL .. or soccer, if you’re into that sort of thing). Assume the league could accommodate a new franchise, either through expansion or a team folding.
1. Which league?
2. Where do you locate the team (it can be any city in the world, of any size)
3. Team nickname?
4. Team colors (limit of 3, or 2 colors plus white)
