I just got done reading all 20 pages of this thread and I must say I loved everything except for certain individuals feeling trolling was necessary and the requests to lock a perfectly Oceania Relevant thread

As far as branding, here's how I feel. I think Sombrero's for Oceania would be flat out stupid. Sorry but a Sombrero just screams Mexico to me. Not that there's anything wrong with Mexico because they're certainly not, but when you talk about Oceania you're basically talking about Australia and those surrounding areas, Sombrero, despite the belief of some others, just doesn't fit.
Gnomes, haha, they add humor, I can see it.
Periscopes do somewhat fit the whole Oceania ideal as far as it relating to Oceans.
Koala's - that Idea I like as well, I think it's very fitting tbh, Koala's or maybe Kangaroos (shocked no one said Kangaroos).
I'm all for branding as long as the image can be added to Charlie over there

because that's been my GLB avatar for quite some time.
I think one other thing that the owners here in Oceania should consider is if we're going to stay a strong Region, the 'newer' owners that take over teams each season, they should, imo, be educated on the 'right way' to operate a team. This way from the very lowest to the very highest league in Oceania, it's getting done right from the get go.
