| Quote: JB Down Under "I'd like to see merchandise sales today compared to say late 80's. I would guess cheesy names sell! The fans don't seem to have any probs with them either given most songs these days include the nickname.'"
Every billboard, newspaper, radio ad, tv report refers to us as the Rhinos too. Think it works so well because it separates us from Leeds Utd who are referee to as Leeds in all the above.
You'll be sat on a bus or walking down the street and you'll hear people asking the other if they saw the Rhinos game the other night ect. As you say too, merchandise will be high these days with the club shop and the "rhinos shop" in the city centre selling everything from scales to dressing gowns to replica jerseys. I'm too young to know if merchandise was bog in the 80s though as I was just a wee lad ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| Quote: craigizzard "The joke going round at the time Leeds became the Rhinos was that the name fitted well, because they're slow and fat and soon to be extinct.'"
That's a bit harsh on Keef ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](images/smilies//icon_eek.gif)

Yes 1997 sounds about right.

Not overly keen on that eBay one it looks like it's straight out of an American Ice Hockey game
