Just wanted to say thanks to knuckler, txranger, and everyone else who contributed to this thread.

I had played OOTP quite some time ago but then shelved it for several years. Recently, I had stumbled across this thread, picked up OOTP15, and have been thoroughly enjoying adding these franchises into a fictional league.

Once again, many thanks for reviving my interest in OOTP!

As an aside, I'm a terrible graphic artist so, thought I would add some team names into the mix as a contribution:

Worcester
- Hearts is a fantastic franchise name

Burlington
- Maple Sox (those jerseys and logo are probably my favourite set in this thread)
- Sugar Maples (may also be a nice alternate to Maple Sox)

Hartford
- Charter Oaks (fantastic!)
- Bushnells (after Bushnell Park, the oldest publicly funded park in the US)
- Brokers (referring to the nickname as the "Insurance Capital of the World")
- Whalers (the hockey fan in me would love to see the return of the whale)

Bridgeport
- Big Tops (circus connection)
- Showmen (circus connection and, a reference to PT Barnum)
- Spectacle (circus connection)
- Ringmasters (circus connection)

Springfield
- Firsts (in reference to the nickname as the "City of Firsts")
- Victorians (called the "City of Homes", a reference to the architecture found in the city, most of which is Victorian)
- Mulberries (named after the street which sparked the famous Dr. Seuss book)

New Haven
- Elms ("the Elm City")
- Puritans (founded by English puritans in 1638)
- Greens (reference to New Haven Green, a National Historic Landmark)
- Beacons (reference to Five Mile Point Lighthouse)

Portland
- Beacons (reference to Portland Head Light)
- Lobsters
