*Insert witty banter type comment*:26414.jpg



Maybe I'm being boring but it would be nice to go back to the old Leeds coat of arms and then just keep the Rhinos nickname

Why would you rebrand when we are in our most successful period ever? That doesnt make sense. The club has been built up into a fromidable brand thanks to the onfield success. You wouldn't want to then change it around.

As is enevitable in the cyclical nature of sport we will have a 'down period'. Thats when I would consider thinking about a rebrand excercise to try and boost interest when we arent making finals.

Someone mentioned our logo looks very 90's. Would you therefore advocate a change of logo every decade? Id hope not. Apart from the obvious costs associated you end up devaluing the brand as a whole by constantly changing it.

For me, Id leave it as is, for now anyway.

I wouldn't change it. But if I did, this is what I would go for. Retro is very now. If that's possible...

You should never stand idle, even the likes of two famous cola drinks re-brand the logo every few years rlhttps://flowingdata.com/2009/08/13/pepsi-and-coca-cola-logo-design-over-the-past-hundred-years/rl

Leeds United is another example rlhttps://www.wafll.com/leeds-united-badges.htmlrl

Finally we change the shirt design every year and no one questioned that, yet, we raise the question of re-branding the logo after 15 years.

By the way we have changed our logo in a small way over the years but who noticed rlhttps://www.simplyzesty.com/wp-content/uploads//2012/07/4569708052.jpegrl

The colour of ronnie has changed too.

Good research Homer.

However, I would venture that there is a big difference between tweaking the shading of part of a badge and a rebrand.

Totally agree that brands need to always be pushing forward but its about picking your time, and I dont believe now is that time. Maybe in a couple of years when we revamp parts of the stadium and are looking for new and bigger sponsors.

As for the shirt comment, I get your point but Im not convinced its relevant. Are you suggesting a new badge every year to go with the change of shirt? Perhaps we could have one brand for away games, one for home games and a special one for charity? I didnt think so either.

Unless the name is to be changed from Leeds Rhinos I don't see why the logo needs to change. Any kind of logo that has a rhino on it is going to look tacky anyway so why bother changing the one we've got?

No, im not saying that. I was just trying to say that we all accept a change of shirt every year, but most of the comments on here cannot accept a rebrand of the logo after 15 years.

We have even accepted the change to PINK 2nd kit for 2 years running (and its a best seller shirt too). Now who would have thought that 3 years ago.!

Just googled 'rhinos logo' and decided ours doesn't need changing.

If the brand is successful it doesn't need rebranding.

The Logo is getting dated, it needs a refresh - Here is some examples of Super League clubs that have already done it. We are being left behind

Saints




London





Widnes




Salford




Catalan Dragons

Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos. And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg



I think the Widnes logo looks like a sign that the 3-breasted hooker in Total Recall would use to advertise what was on offer.
