I'm also happy to see the Falcons and Glaciers in the same division again, it didn't feel right being seperated.
I didn't show the divisions in the graphic, the Saints were added to the Hatch and the Barbarians to the Willard. There will most likely be a league realignment soon though as both divisions have become pretty full and any future expansion will have to include a new set of divisions and alignment.

I just noticed, but you have the old (and superior) Glaciers logo on your map there.
I saw that too, after I posted it. I decided that their team letterhead and stuff probably would have the original logo on it anyway so I'll leave it for now. Maybe just to tease the fans.
Glad to see everyone's feedback! Just like in real life, some logos and uniforms are a hit and some miss the mark. I love to see that portrayed in a fictional league. (Not that I intentionally try to make bad logos! haha) But it provides a platform to see identities morph over time. It's also fun to see how fans become attached to a team look or hate a team look based on rivalry. (me and how I feel about the Baltimore Ravens, for example, being a Steelers fan IRL) I'll answer all the questions in a bit. Keep 'em coming if you have more! Feel free to ask any league operation questions as well. I really do enjoy the technical side of maintaining full rosters and such.

OK! Due to popular demand, I've attempted to make a series of city comparisons. This was way harder than I thought it'd be since even though I originally had certain comparisons in mind when I first created Torland, each city has morphed into its own unique identity and feel. I've tried to pick comparisons with certain similarities, not exact representations. TheHealthiestScratch also helped contribute to this list since he probably knows Torland the best outside of myself. Feel free to ask more questions!
Comparisons of THL Cities in Torland with North American Cities
Chasonne - Seattle & San Francisco & Vancouver
Fort Bevin - St. Louis & Colorado Springs
Guilden - Portland & Pittsburgh & Minneapolis
Kavalos - San Diego & San Francisco & Norfolk
Kirkenport - Boston & Halifax & Providence
Kirlow - Milwaukee & Cleveland & Detroit
Lecayne - New Orleans & Montreal & Quebec City
Narva - Hartford & Quebec City
Port Alrene - Baltimore & Philadelphia & New Jersey
Portarra - Vancouver & Chicago & Toronto
Trowburgh - Chicago & Detroit & Brooklyn
Yubay - Oakland & Minneapolis/St.Paul & Dallas/Fort Worth (+ Anchorage)
What do y'all think of this list? Any surprises?

I had an inkling of a feeling of why I drifted toward the Kirk Boys and now I definitely know why now!

You like to have an excuse to drink whenever possible? But in a classy toned down way that seems isolated and misunderstood?

Sometimes but generally if I'm drinking I've got a huge plate of food in front of me and friends.

As is with every Kirk boy! Kirkenport is my way to peel back my surface level dislike for NE and let out my inner Beantown characteristics. Prideful, hardworking and competitive! You’re never alone on the mile! I’ve decided that’s my home in this alternate universe.... hopefully not the town drunk, maybe I own a bar or something haha! It’s all one big episode of Cheers for me.

This is really cool! Now, I have to ask, could we get a city comparison list for the UHA teams too?

Maybe I get to be a crippling alcoholic at your bar.
(Seriously though, this conversation is weird.)
