Name: Thomas King
Age: 57
Occupation: Owns a chain of Fast Food restaurants, based in Madison, Wisconsin, home of the first King's Burgers. (it's a McDonald's-McDowell's situation)
Favorite Current USFL Team: Chicago Fire
Name for Memphis: With the owner also being the owner of FedEx, I'd go with the Memphis Express. Use that purple and orange color scheme.
Name for Charlotte: The Hornets! We're years before the NBA moves into the area, take advantage of that.
Name for Jacksonville: The real life USFL team was the Bulls, which had a good color scheme. I'd keep that.
Name for San Antonio: I'd go with something like Desperados or Vandals. Something unique to professional sports.

Here are some temporary sigs for the 1984 expansion teams. These should come in handy while I try to conceptualize the branding for each squad in the coming days.
