9. Rationale for city
• I choose Los Angeles because it doesn’t have a sports team
and there the city has been trying to reach an agreement with
one for the past 30 years. I think that Los Angeles is a perfect
place to have a sports team because there is an airport 20
minutes away from downtown Los Angeles and there are
plenty of beaches around the area. We want to attract people
who are flying in from the airport, people who are coming
from the beach, people who live in the area, tourists, and
fans. We want the building of the stadium to be talked about
around the whole city. The new stadium will help the
economy and the city’s reputation the new stadium will bring
money because it’s just not a football stadium it can be used
for any purpose that needs fans to sit and watch something.

17. Product Planning-Branding
• Franchise Name: The name of my franchise is the “Los
Angeles Caimans”
• I choose the name because its uses Los Angeles and the
caiman that is the most feared reptile that lives in waters. Los
Angeles has desert geography. The caimans are the most
feared reptile that lives in water and the Los Angeles Caimans
will be the most feared football team. There is not a team in
Los Angeles with the name and I think that having a team with
the most feared reptile it will give us an advantage when the
other team hears our name.
18. Product Planning-Branding

• The colors we have chosen are Black, White and Grey these
colors represent the Caimans and Los Angeles. The colors will

will suddenly get goose bumps during the game.
20. Product Planning-Branding
• Team Mascot:
Our Mascot name is “BRUCE The MIGHTY CAIMAN”
• Bruce will be present at all home and away games. He will be there to
support our team. Bruce is a Mascot that will intimidate the opposing
crowd coaches and players. Bruce will be wearing the team colors which
are Black, White and Grey. He will also give away replicas of the shirts that
he will be wearing he will also give the fans something to be amused from.
21. Product Planning-Branding
• Team Uniforms:
• Our Football uniforms display the team colors which are black, white and grey. The
