Taking inspiration from other sports for skin ideas

I thought the Soccer (Football for the rest of the world) skins that you guys (Riot) made were really cool and paid homage to the world wide insanity that the sport is, but I think you guys should consider capitalizing on other sports. For instance, for those of you who don't know, the United States' National Collegiate Athletic Association just held their American college football championship in Dallas, Texas. On the 1st of February, the US's National Football League will be holding the Superbowl, their championship game. It would be cool if you guys made an American football set. I know it doesn't have as much following outside the US, but it is nigh a religion here in the States. Also, I wouldn't mind a full set for basketball (Beyond the Arc Ziggs, Hard in the Paint Lee Sin, etc.), or a baseball/softball set (Fireball Brand, Golden Glove Ahri, etc.)

American football probably won't appeal to the larger global demographic. As big as it is in North America, it isn't all that popular outside the continent. Try selling a gridiron skin to a LoL player in China or Poland. Probably won't do too well.

The sport skins would be better if it's something that everybody around the world knows and at least know the basics about how to play.

It's not like nobody knows about American football though I personally can't see why not, but something more international would always add some extra pluses if you get what I mean.

I know it would never happen but maybe a Lacrosse Leblanc, Heavyweight Champ Vi, Sumo Gragas, Derbyhorse Hecarim,

What about Little League Yorick and all his ghouls come out as little leaguers
