They were trying to be different, which it was. But it still sounded lame.
Jumping the gun, but if we did make it into the Super League would we have to come up with a new name?
I always fancied "Halifax bombers" until I realised it would sound a bit like "Halifax bummers" in chants on the terraces.

| St Helens have Saints. Hull have FC/Airlie Birds.
My suggestion would be Halifax Hallers, a nod to your history with an abbreviation of the old Thrum Hallers nickname. A look at the Yanks and soccer shows that names don't have to be instantly anthropomorphic to get over with fans. Get your black cat in a top hat and you're away. The Hallers. You heard it here first.

I thought they used the 'Bombers' moniker at one time , seem to remember a badge with a Halifax bomber depicted on a Sky televised game.

The name "Bluesox" brings back good memories of being in the Superleague and playing the likes of Leeds, St Helens, Wigan and Bradford, instead of trailing up to Barrow, Whitehaven and Batley etc.
I say "bring in back"

... and we have The Fax! We don't need a stupid name unless the RFL, in it's infinite wisdom, decides to award a franchise point for it which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Yes , though Haddocks would have been a better name at the time - wet fish frequently battered.
