I guess the Hancocks could change if Hancock ever dies and then has a new owner, but probably not. I have the right amount of creatures/beings of the wastes: Ghouls, Assaultrons, Bloodbugs, Synths, Radstags, Deathclaws, Mirelurks, and Yao Guai. I considered Super Mutants in there, but then had two teams, one in the BMU and one in the upcoming Far Harbor league that are Behemoths. I may still change up that Far Harbor team, though their mascot is different. And of course, every logo that features the Fallout boy is an in-game perk: Party Boys, Four Leafs, Lady Killers, Chemists, and Ninjas. Those are some of my favorites for team nicknames. Some of the goofier perk names/logos were left out or designated for the BMU.

There were certainly some teams that I was happy to change: East Boston Prep to Easy Town (my naming of the area based on Easy City Downs in-game); Jamaica Plain Treasures to Red Rockets because the Treasures logo was just terrible, even though it did have an in-game association; Egret Scrappers to Ninjas, again because of my dislike for the logo and the Fallout Boy perk did not convert well; and Fairline Hill Estates to FHE because I hated typing out Fairline Hill Estates and kept wanting to add an 's' to every word.

I will definitely tweak the BMU more. There is a story coming up about the NWL and that, too, will change in the future once I have the time for graphical creativity. Also, the CBO is not finished for its number of teams (not expansion, exactly, but a future need for another level of minors to accommodate the sheer number of players and help develop young players better).

For the BMU, current changes I have planned are: change the Mole Rats to the Knuckle Punchers, but maintain the color scheme for the BMU team; and relocate one team to Graygarden (maybe for 2301) because there just needs to be a team there and now Oberland has its own riverside stadium to play in. There are a few team nicknames I am reconsidering changing, but I have made no immediate decisions.
You certainly have a lot of material to work with, but given how complex a system this is with all these moving parts I can forgive you for having it settle down somewhat. I can barely keep track of my "fun" save at times when teams move/change names, and I'm not the one generating the story in that To have one flavorful league is great, to soon to have three is a whole nother level, and that's not counting the minors. You've inspired me to actually spruce up the expansion teams' minor leauge affiliates in my fun save at seasons end with your dedication to all levels, not just the top, something I should have probably paid attention to a few seasons ago when they actually joined the league
