I had hoped the licence system would see those excluded move away from the way Super League had "developed" the identities of clubs, but obviously not in this case.'"


You don't like change much do you?

Things must be pretty s[ihit[/i over there in odslum if you're discussing your has-been neighbours. The way your victors from last week are being shafted by your nemesis tonight i can see why you'd rather discuss a Championship side. Best wishes to you in these troubled times.

Quote: Shaggoth "I wouldn't trust them to invent a nickname anyway. Of all the things in the entire cosmos they could have chosen as a marketing tool, they plumped for a bluesox. I'm still utterly staggered by that.

They must have sat around the table and worked out what they could call themselves to absolutely guarantee there were no possible spin offs or merchandise opportunities.'"

Quote: Bullseye "Basing it around a cat from the 1930s seems a bit tenuous.'"


The Current "Mascot" is a cat and has been for a couple of seasons now (since the second death of Billy and Bluey)

At Thrum Hall there was a Iron Black Cat above the club house known as Smut, thats what it harps back to.

The Logo with the Cat is for the Junior Supporters Club and the like, Probably a bit scary for the kits but what the heck.

"Basing it around a cat from the 1930s seems a bit tenuous."

So what's the rationale behind the Bulls???? What connection do Bradford Steam Pigs have to a Bull pre 1996

You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how ya gonna have a dream come true? Are you claiming all you are entitled to? www.debtadvicenetwork.org then go to "Self Help" then "Benefits & Entitlements".:3664.gif

Who's misfortune? Ours? We're doing just fine at the moment. I see my team win every week. Or are you suggesting that i'm deriving pleasure from your troubles? icon_wink.gif

Quote: Bullseye "Bombers was the nickname they should've gone with.'"


And was the one the fans voted to be the nickname of choice. Unfortunately, the man in charge at that time was a certain Nigel Wood icon_evil.gif

I don't particularly like the cat design at all, but our current mascot 'Hali-Cat' is popular with our younger fans so why not carry on the brand with the future generation in mind?
