Since it seems that the most generic nicknames are of the Defenders, Dragons, Battlehawks, and Wildcats, what nickname would have you given DC, Seattle, St. Louis, and Los Angeles?

With the current mulling of the Orioles moving to Nashville, would you consider doing a concept on them? https://www.google.com/search?q=baltimore+orioles+nashville

Realistically, no. At least I hope not. Would prefer cities like Austin, Portland, or San Antonio. What about Tuscon?

Nah. We are better than Maryland drivers.

@SFGiants58 Will you by chance be doing concepts on any of the following teams that could have been called something different?

@SFGiants58 After you complete your MLB Defunct series, will you be moving on to the NHL, NBA, NFL, and/or MLS?

You put down 1977 next to them, unless those dates don't matter anymore?

The user put specific years next to the team. Carolina has 1995 next to them. The year works out. Also, I couldn't think of anything that doesn't involve meteorology or aviation, haha. Colorado has 1977 next to it. So said franchise got to the Rapids monkier long before the current MLS team. Also, I couldn't think of anything else for them, haha.

Montreal Citadelles Colorado Rapids New York Boroughs San Francisco Fog Carolina Hurricanes Vancouver Volcanoes Winnipeg Freeze (this one was difficult) Toronto Hogs

For filling in the two gaps for the NE and the West, could you see teams in either Hartford, Bridgeport, Providence, Quebec City, London, or Halifax for the NE Division? And Reno, Spokane, Fresno, Portland, Boise, or SLC for the West Division?

Is that a take on the old Griffith stadium?

B is best for both worlds.

What nickname did you choose for Washington DC?

Would you be interested in starting a concept where all MLS clubs have Americanized nicknames? Then after that, maybe the USL?

Back in 2004, The Washington Post posted an online poll, asking readers what they wanted the now Washington Nationals to be called: What Should Washington's New Team Be Called? Sept. 30, 2004 Here are the nicknames: * Bandits / Beltway Bandits * Bullets * Cicadas * Federals * Filibusters * Expos * Grays * Monuments * Nationals * Patriots * Senators * Snakeheads * River Rats / Dogs @SFGiants58 would you consider doing some concept work on any of those names?
