I think they actually were called the Bombers for a season or two. IIRC the fans revolted against it and they got rid of the name. Then called themselves the bluesox. I bet a few people wished they'd kept shtum.

St Helens Swines owing to close proximity to Piggy Fletchers (and the swines are now trotting out onto the pitch)
St Helens Scorpions the team with a sting in their tail.
Seriously though let's just stick with good old SAINTS!

Always thought Oldham (Bears) had the best nickname when it came to picking them. It sounded right, was easy to market due to a recognisable bear mascot, bear toys etc. and it seems right that a rl team were named after this type of animal.( I mean who could ever imagine a shark or eel etc. catching a rugby ball on the burst icon_wink.gif ).

They also had the best mascot in the League with that bear... Buster I think he was called.

St. Helens Silverware icon_biggrin.gif

I think "The Saints" is fine. We are introduced as the St. Helens Saints at a lot of away grounds.

I think we need a better catch line rather than "It's your team". I think we should be called "Britains Team" or "THE Superleague Club" or even "The Entertainers".

Like how the Dallas cowboys were called "Americas Team" it was a great marketing tool and miffed every other team in the NFL off.

Surely that is what we really need.

Haha, would love that. Love being hated as a Cowboy's fan. Although I could do without all the drama and us actually winning something.
