Expansion Team Names

[Diesel]

I always thought Sharks was a good fit for Adelaide but since that’s gone, Magpies would be my 2nd choice

 

[Colk]

The Rams were also one of the names the Adelaide Crows were going to pick.

I wonder if the South Australia Shrikes or Adelaide Magpies would be a good fit for an NRL club brand.

Wasn’t the Port Adelaide fumbleball side called the magpies?

 

[MugaB]

So I've made a map for a future 24 club competition, spreading out all over Australia and New Zealand, adding current clubs, and making a few new ones, suited to the expansion area they are in, some old brands, and some tweaks to current bidders..


The competition is split into 4 conferences,
Each club plays their own conference twice home and away, then play every other club once (reverse in following season)
this leaves the comp at 28 rounds per season, 12 games a week
(imagine the timeslot mayhem)

NEW CLUBS



Based in Perth 12 games
Colors Red, Black, Gold, White
Basically a revival of the 1995 franchise, more emphasis on the color red in their kits
Mascot is unique, a Red Kangaroo is a staunch aussie mammal that is tough


Based in Adelaide 12 games
Colors Indigo, Gold, Red
Revival of the 1997 franchise, ditching the color blue for indigo, to defer from other clubs with similar kit colors
Mascot is fierce and represented Adelaide before aswell as its SA state side


Based in Christchurch 9 games, 3 Dunedin
Colors of Black, Yellow, White
A rebrand of the Canterbury Bulls, ditching the red for yellow, to distance from the crusaders
Mascot is strong and had represented in that area, also with the south island scorpions


Based in Wellington 9 games, 3 Napier
Colors Teal, Black, White
Revamp of the Southern Orcas bid, keeping it morso in Wellington than the original premise
Mascot is uniquely original, many clubs wouldn't think of a killer whale as its emblem


Based in Hamilton 9 games, 3 Rotorua (B.O.P)
Colors Red, Black, White
North Sydney Bears relocation to become a North Island team Roaming north Island,NZ
Mascot is the famous Heritage NS Bears, a return to the fold


Based in Brisbane (Suncorp) 12 games
Colors Orange, Chocolate Brown, White
East Tigers Rebrand and changing their original Black to Brown
Mascot is a Sabretooth Tiger, it makes for a stronger type of jungle cat, one that is above all


Based in Cairns 6 games, PNG 6 games
Colors of Gold, Red, Black
A joint bid Cairns & PNG, Cairns based, FIFO the 6 Port Moresby games, Aus Govt funded.
Mascot image from the Cairns "Pride" but as a spin on it, as its a Lion, but the club named "Hunters" after the PNG Hunters, as lions do hunt

There's no real order of this expansion, just thought of having an outline of areas to conquer, and what teams would suit the city or town they are in, my favorite is the brisbane city sabres, means the broncos can push west, and Easts tigers can remain as is

I'd prefer an Ipswich or dare I say it..Logan team. Something to do with aviation to play off history.

Like this a lot apart from the 50/50 cairns&PNG side and the north island bears.

Would rather see one location based sides with exceptions made for the odd game or 2 taken to other venues e.g. the Wellington orcas.

I don't think you can make room on map. There I said it.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Needs more Singapore.

[Pneuma]

The Blessed Singapore Pokie Den Nappies?

Just no room for Singa-pore

That actually looks real good

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

It would be good if Logan could get a Queensland Cup team. The QRL did meet with the Logan City Council about leasing grounds at Heritage Park after the Brisbane Roar left the premises.

It would be great if a club like the St George Dragons promoted themselves to this market. If they were to change their name to The Dragons then it would be the perfect team to take one or two games to Singapore. We have games at parks in the country, so it's not too far fetched and could help St George and the game generate income from a new revenue stream.

Too many southern Sydney teams, but yeah let's help out st george, coz ...dragons are asian... and sharks are not... flawless logic

It’s 2045. Round 28. Ninth on the ladder. the tigers are looking for their first finals berth in 34 years.
They have to beat the Singapore lions in Singapore, coach Luke brooks is confident this is the year.

tigers lose 6-4 in a try-less game
