Extract taken form an early LS16 Rhinos NewsletterLeeds took the nick-name of the Loiners, but where did this originate? There are several theories

Even though you've probably been bombarded (haven't read further than this post) by people who cant understand it was an 'idea/suggestion', i actually think it would be a good move.
Gives younger people who are playing for the club a bit of a look into the past and people from the previous generation can relate with the name again. |

We are Leeds, nothing more, nothing less.'"
IIRC all the other clubs were virtually forced by the SL/RFL to adopt a nickname apart from St Helens. The excuse being that they were generally known as "Saints" anyway.
If my memory serves Leeds and Wigan resisted for a bit, which is why we weren't actually named Leeds Rhinos until 1997 despite Super League starting in 1996. |

| Quote: Damo-Leeds "
I think one way to preserve it and put it in the public view again realistically is renaming the academy as something like The Loiners Academy. But renaming the first team is a big no no IMO.
Nice idea but you'd never get GH to agree to that.
He didn't/wouldn't take notice of the supporters when they voted to keep 'Loiners' as there nickname and decided to go with the 'Rhino' so a suggestion like this would undoubtedly end in his rubbish bin.
Being of the 'old school' and a traditionalist I still refer to myself as a Loiner.

Also it would have sounded even worse than "Rhinos".
The club was never going to be called "Leeds Loiners" apart from the fact it sounds terrible theres no way of marketing it. Whereas with Ronnie its much easier to market the name especially to kids. |

Isn't a Leodensian someone who attended Leeds Grammar School, which is the context it was used in on "I Predict A Riot"? |

Aye - Marketing had a major influence on the choice of Rhinos - but the main reason it was chosen is due to a certain builder's paranoia over the nickname which actually came out top in the YEP's 'You choose the new Leeds name' poll.....
Never have seen any sharks in the aire. |

True, but whatever the name it was always going to be something that could be marketed well, and Loiners is tough to sell.
Having said that I would like to see a return of the term in some shape or form, I never thought these words would ever be uttered on this planet but...
Damo's idea was a good one. |
