VHL Australia (better than the VHLE)

[Berocka 2,263]

 So we all know that the VHLE is the leagues most hated league and we also know that the leagues two most beloved members are @BOOM and myself the two Australians this makes total sense then to move the VHLE to become the VHL Australia and rebrand all 6 teams.

 

Well luckily enough for me there are 6 states in Australia and each state has a capital city so I have already selected my 6 cities and they will be in alphabetical order Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. So now we just need to come up with some names and identities for each of the cities.

 

When deciding on the towns below I tried to pick things that were innately Australian, aren’t currently used by other teams in Australia so there are no stolen logos like there were with the Helsinki Titans and the Oslo Storm.

 

Adelaide Kookaburras

This is one of Australia’s native birds and it is known for it’s call that sounds like a laugh, most people of Australia will have seen and definitely heard the famous Kookaburra. The colours of the team would be a Brown and White to go along with the identity of the Kookaburra, the Burras as they would be known for short would suit Adelaide which is the 5^th biggest city in Australia and is the capital of South Australia. Adelaide is also known as the City of Churches due to its wide variety of faiths and cultures in the area. This would surely be a great hub for some VHLA action.

 

Brisbane Bushrangers

My Home town of Brisbane, there were a few ideas I could have gone with here but I love the idea of Bushrangers. Bushrangers are an interesting subject when you are learning about Australian history, they were originally just escaped convicts but the whole idea changed around the gold rush and they became people who robbed under arms. Though throughout the years bushrangers have become symbolic as those who were rebels to the authorities. The most famous Bushranger is the of Ned Kelly who has had countless movies and TV shows made about him. The colours for the team would be Gold and Purple.

 

Hobart Devils

The Tasmanian Devil is an extremely popular animal and is even featured alongside Bugs Bunny in Looney Tunes, The Tasmanian Devil is a small marsupial that is pretty much only found on the island of Tasmania which is the smallest state in Australia and Hobart is the capital of that. The colours of this team would be Black and White in line with the animals colours

Melbourne Crocodiles

One of the most scariest animals in all of Australia in my opinion is the salt water crocodile, not only can they demolish you in the water they can run faster than you on land as well, plus they are angry beasts who are very territorial. Now Melbourne doesn’t have any crocodiles apart from those in the aquarium/zoo but it is a scary animal and its cool. The colours of course for this one would be Green and Blue for the crocodile and the water it swims in.

 

Perth Quokkas

The Quokkas are definitely Australia’s cutest mammal apart from our very own Boom. They live on a small island just of the shore of Western Australia where Perth is the capital. I am sure that the mascot would have gritty level of popularity due to how cute the animals are. The colour for this team would be an outrageous blue and pink because why not.

 

Sydney Platypus

Last and last for a reason Australia’s worst capital. But I have given them probably my favourite Australian animal the Platypus the animal that all around the world thought was a hoax, there is endless crazy facts about this mammal. But the Sydney team would feature a colour way of Red and Orange because we need some contrasting colours in this league.

 

Well that is all for today let me know which team you would love to play for and who would be your rival team.

 

Thanks

Good, fuck Canberra. 

 

Also, I would captain the Sydney Platypi, and those Rednecks in Brisbane would be our arch rivals. 

 

As always, @Berockais a goddamm genius and proves that even though he is a posh fancy pants, he is comfortable with the common man.

So let me get this straight, as this is news to me: Canberra is the capital of Australia, but not a capital of its own state?

Canberra is in the Australian capital territory and not technically a state. The same as Darwin is the capital of the Northern territory but it isn't a state either

Thanks. Switzerland is too poor to have a capital. We officially do only have a seat of government, but not a capital

Ottawa is capital of Canada, but not Ontario.  That's Toronto.

 

@Berocka Also, no mention of Huntsman spiders?

Probably would've gone with a redback spider if there was a spider as they are much cooler looking

I always place Ottawa in the vicinity of Winnipeg, and I do not know why

It's only about a two hour drive from Montreal actually

The anti-Sydney sentiment of all those not from Sydney is always amusing.

I do not disagree with you. Bern's old time is really worth seeing. We mock Bernese for their slow speech though...

Review Task: Being new to the league and not knowing anything, I love this idea! I love how the minors in baseball or other sports have regional minor leagues and there was an attempt by the NFL to do a Europe league. I feel this would be a great similar notion and love how you used the various states. The only change would be to replace Syndey with Darwin and have them be the Crocodiles as they are known for the most salt water crocodiles there and have Syndey be more a place for the final events! And then you can have Melbourne be the Platypus!

[BOOM 8,817]

Based on recent events, maybe the Sydney Stabbers is a better fit.
