What is it in Klingon?

What we currently have is just irrelevent. Look at the other clubs and their mascots.

Hull KR (The Robins) = A Robin
Wigan Warriors = Max the Warrior
Bradford Bulls = Bully
Saint Helens = A SAINT Bernard
Catalan Dragons = A Dragon
Huddersfield Giants = a Giant (albeit the smallest giant I've ever seen)
Warrington Wolves = Wolfie
etc etc

Salford City Reds = Wierd Power Ranger thing in an obscenely tight Lycra outfit.

here's a silly thought why not at the next home game all you 'DEVIL fans' come dressed your selfs as devils

I totally agree that we are THE ORIGINAL AND BEST RED DEVILS.
We are never going to get rid of UTD using it nor are we ever going to stop the parachute regiments display team using it.
However, does that mean WE should stop? NO WAY PEDRO!!!!

We still have some tenuous links to the devil, look at the top of this page. Now is the time to openly market it again and use it to it's fullest degree. I hardly think the juggernaught that is Utd is going to be that bothered by little old Salford using the name again.

As for Fatboys Limbs comment about Saints being unique to St Helens RL:
Northampton Saints- RU
Southhampton FC
New Orleans Saints- NFL
St George- Illawarra
I rest my case


Give us our devil back!!!!

Not sure anyone wants 'our Dev' after seeing that huge photo of hm naked in the Street?!

Actually, the original Diables Rouges was the Belgian national football team.

HTH.

OK FBL I was a bit slow there
And just_browny after all these years I stand corrected. I have just looked up the Belgian football team and noticed they got the name in 1906!!! Fair play.

However, doesn't this just prove 2 things.
1. There is no problem sharing a nick name and marketing
2. Man Utd don't even rank a sad 2nd place in this and therefore have no outright claim.

GIVE US OUR DEVIL BACK!!!!!!!!!

Ps is anyone going to go to the Hudds match in devil gear or is it going to be that awful scenario where I turn up looking like a Tw*t and the fancy dress party has been cancelled (a la Del boy and Rodney)?

I'll bring my mask bro don't worry.

This is something I've complained about since the Devil was removed and it's been indicated in my Sig ever since. I think the difference with our nickname is the fact it was given to us (and by a different country) and not made up by the club itself.

As an aside, here are the other nicknames the club had (I'm not including the ones often shouted on the terraces! ) before been given the one we have. (Thanks to Graham Morris' excellent 'A Willows Century') book.

1880's The Turkeys / Turkey Reds / Good Old Turkey - was a common reference due to the original Scarlet-red shade of the jersey worn.
1890's The Scarlet Runners / Red Jackets
1900's The Royalists / Royal Reds - became popular due to Salford's historical status of being a 'Royal and Ancient Borough' since the 14th century.
1930's You know all about that!

lets make friday
