The fact that kids designed them (which i think is a cracking idea) doesn't mean the final design should look so amateurish. Especially having saved cash by getting kids to design it for free.
There seems to be a lot of people now who complain about the pessimism in Rugby league and strut around pretending everything is perfect, its really not, it's not totally down the pan, put its far from perfect.

Really? So all these kids are going to break open their piggy banks to buy tickets are they? The Mascots, regardless of who the "spin" says they are targeted at, are a trojan horse to the wallets of Parents....some of them middle aged no less, so the opinion of those that would bankroll the purchase of ticket, is valid.
They look amateurish.......they reflect that amaturism on our sport.....this is my opinion which in fact does matter...regardless of what the taste police would like to think

If the kid likes it, the parents will fork out for it. Their opinion of it is irrelevant.

Pokémon cartoons look rubbish and amateurish in my opinion and I'm sure some parents will agree, but the kids love them and their gear sells by the truckload...

What they could do, is produce a limited ammount of mascot merchandise and sell it at all the Rugby League grounds, if it goes well produce more. It will get the attention of the younger fans and hopefully get their interest and they are our future in Rugby League.

Just out of interest to those people criticising it, what do YOU think would have been a better design? I see lots of criticism but nothing in the way of alternative suggestions to what the mascot should have consisted of or looked like?

what recession

...seems that spoilt brats are the norm now in blighty....




..yeah, they will blindly call Bradford sponsors to finance the purchase and then blame the city for their woes




...mainly because it's cheap to buy...........AND IT'S A GLOBAL PHENOM!

Are you expecting this cuddly toy or mini rugby ball with a face on it to be gold plated or something? What a stupid argument.

An adults opinion of a children's mascot is irrelevant. That is all there is to it.

...sorry, but as a parent who was expected to purchase everything from Disney's Fantasia (on video, not the original) onwards, I do not find the quality of design of a product irrelevant at all......so no, that's not all there is to it.

The mascots on paper look cheap and tacky and I certainly wouldn't consider purchasing one for a child, regardless of it being RL related or not......

Well then you are a bad parent...


...and a stubbon miserable old bugger too.

BUSTED





TWICE

So called fans having a negative pop at their own sports, only in Rugby League !
