| Quote Brew="Brew"For some, its worked well, Cas Tigers, Leeds Rhinos, Bradford Bulls ect, Others it didnt work at all, Halifax Blue Sox, Hull Sharks ect.
Some of it was down to Marketing and Budgets as well as on field success.
Some clubs have made strange ways to add to the name, Leigh wanting fans to refer to Hilton Park as The Coliseum (probably due to its age and condition) was never going to work and they soon binned it. Or going back a number of Years, "Arena 84".'"
didn't the Leigh fans vote/protest to keep the Centurions name though? |

Dont think the nickname is a bad thing, if its used right, the coliseum idea was ridiculous though, especially as there was talk of a new stadium at the time |

| Quote reddan="reddan"If this has been discussed recently, I apologise, I couldn't see a relevant thread.
Basically all I want to know is how important or relevant you think the 'super league era' nicknames are eg. Rhinos, Giants etc. Do you think they're an important part of a club's 'brand', maybe help attract younger fans or would you rather see a return to the likes of Trinity, Northern etc?
Considering saints didn't bother, hull dropped theirs and two newish clubs (quins and celtic) have each taken a different option, what do you think about them in general, and in the context of your own club? Any thoughts appreciated.'"
I'm sure a "Hull FC" team played in the Hull & District league whilst the "Sharks" were going  |

I don't have a major problem with them, however I prefer to see the 'nickname' as being relevant to the region of the club
For example - when the whole issue of the new Leeds brandname was being discussed, I would have preffered them to have considered the Leeds Rams or Leeds Owls. The Leeds coat of arms has a fleece and a couple of owls on it. Ok, so the fleece might be a sheep but its near enough. Although maybe Leeds Owls sounds a bit lame. Although they do have sharp beaks and are probably quite nasty.
At least Hull had a link to sharks in that Hull is next to the sea and sharks live in it. Leeds is a cold city in the middle of England, and Rhinos live in hot places like Africa. They don't have much in common.

| Quote reddan="reddan"True, but in Hull although 'city' and 'fc' are used for the footy team and hull fc respectively, most people refer to both as 'hull'. Is it really that important to distinguish the difference? Fans in Leeds have obviously survived this problem for enough years in the past.'"
Ive always known it as, Hull , R*vers and City as many do in the City. |

that said we have built our crowds and club up without a brandname, but for clubs like Bradford it has most definitely worked.'"
What was wrong with "steam pigs"

I personally would hate it to get to be like the RU Super 14 where all the teams are known by the nickname .....you dont know from what country/area that the team represents
