Leeds Rhinos works for me but the badge is terrible.

Wakefield Trinity sounds good and the name is associated with Rugby League. The whole wildcat package is a poor one.

Wigan - OK but the mascot looks like an idiot.

Huddersfield - Same as Wigan.

I don't like Saints new badge.

Catalan Dragons and the Bradford Bulls have the best 'new era' names & badges.

IMO

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow] [quote="eels fan":1gysl9ow]You poor poor obsessed fat ex vichyballin potato thieving stoaway.[/quote:1gysl9ow]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6679.png

....you can't.

You just hope they remain hooked/keep up the habit of attending and that they breed like rabbits.......which as far as I can see is the basis of the marketing plan of the London Broncos v.2 icon_wink.gif

Huh?
Ye Sorry for that it is a little poor ( Sorry Bren icon_wink.gif )

What I was saying is if the pioneers of RFL had adopted the "Leave it as it is its not broken" or "Thats how we have always done it" attitude then RFL would of never been founded, We would not exist and the powers that be in the affluent south would still be telling us what to do.

Thats all very nice and all but I's over complicating the point I was making.

I just don't personally think that we need the image that we currently have to thrive as clubs and as a sport in general. Thats why I referenced the 2 Hull clubs and St Helens as examples, we have many people insinuating we need this image but I simply cannot agree.

It seems we all have different views, but you're right about wasting energy, back to work for me!

TFC if you read back some of my posts i never said change worked in every case, fully agree Warrington, Both Hulls and Saints work well and in the Hull case changed back because it was better for them. But also accept that it has been a success for some clubs Cas Tigers, Bardford Bulls, Wakefield Wildcats ( except the badge maybe ) Huddersfield Giants and Salford City Reds IMHO are better with the new branding.

But life is an opionion and this is mine, the world is a better place when we are allowed our own without recourse.

Enjoy your day

I didn't mean you, apologies, I meant other posters in the thread.

With regards to clubs being a success with their respective nicknames I wouldn't be so sure, Wakefield have for the majority of their time in Super league struggled, Cas have been relegated twice, Bradford undoubtedly [iwere [/ivery successful, but now have fallen from grace, all 3 of these teams still have poor stadia. Again Huddersfield had a dire period after being nicknamed the Giants finishing bottom a few times and merging with Sheffield Eagles, Salford City Reds although having just acquired a new stadium have been another mediocre club having been relegated twice.

Like you say though we have our own opinions on what constitutes success and such things as branding, which of course hasn't been a complete failure, it is simply a matter of opinion. However I can agree to disagree quite happily, enjoy your evening sir.
