GRADED: GRADED: Rating Theme week expansion ideas

[mutedfaith]

This theme week, everyone is presenting their own ideas of a possible team, theme and location for an SSL expansion. <br><br>I'm here today to rate some of the early ideas that have been submitted. <br><br><br><b>Carribean FA</b><br><br>Based out of Tortuga, <a href='index.php?showuser=73' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>@High Stick King</a> is proposing a team spanning more than just the island. Trying to steer away from political names, and abbrevations that could cause confusion with other SSL franchises, he arrives at a classic British name: Caribbean Footbal Association. <br><br>The bright, vibrant colours proposed fit the Carribean theme very well, and in my opinion they should be aiming to play a Brazilian-esque, Samba-style type of football. The island itself could definitely pull some big names. <br><br><br><b>Chicago Metropolitan</b><br><br><a href='index.php?showuser=201' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>@jackkmart</a> wants to bring the SSL expansion into the US city of Chicago. The Chicago Metropolitan Athletic Club will be based on Chicago's intriguing history with the mob. <br><br>Steering away from the classic Chicago colours, the large amount of Chicago blue in the colour scheme for the logo proposed for the CMAC feels very friendly. Maybe a little too friendly for the theme. The home kit is based on the darker Metro blue center of the logo, which looks a lot meaner.<br><br><br><b>Borussia Dhaka</b><br><br><a href='index.php?showuser=99' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-10'>@Aleris</a> noted that the SSL is currently lacking teams in a few of the top 10 largest cities in the world. While they could've gone for major Indian or Chinese cities, the choice fell on a little more obscure lcoation: Bangladesh. The city of Dhaka has more inhabitants than the entire country of the Netherlands, and I'm sure a club in South East Asia would have some pull on people from surrounding countries as well. <br><br>The tiger as mascot, and the green/red colour scheme based on the country's colours make sense. Although I would've liked to see the tiger represented in the team name as well. The German-sounding club name in SE Asia doesn't really work for me personally.<br><br>
