From a heritage point of view, home kit should have been some kind of coalminer/pitman ensemble, complete with hobnail boots.
Away kit could be a breasted suit type kit, to show we scrub up well on a Sunday afternoon.
Other than that, happy with the new home kit

Quite like the home shirt
The away one should be banned from LSV
And if we are to keep the Centurion name etc then can we not have the coat of arms on his shield?

Do we even have a junior Centurions club? If the young ones do not recognise it and the club are not prepared to fully embrace it then I fail to see the point of continuing the Moniker in all honesty.
It could just be used as nickname in 'Leigh RLFC - The Centurions' in the same way it as 'Everton FC - The Toffees' or 'West Ham FC - The Hammers' or 'Leicester City FC - The Foxes' , I am sure you get the point. ![]()
Quite correct Harold now you mention it, i have never heard referance to "are you going to the centurions" it is useually "are you going to watch Leigh" or colloquially "R't goin watchin Leyth"
To answer atomic, no we do not want the bears, and the comics was never a registered name.
I agree, the Leigh crest on tge left breast with LEIGH RLFC under and if need be 'Centurions' under that without the daft Roman Soldier.

Do you really believe that the Centurions logo sells the merchandising, and if we had another moniker we would have less support and seaso ticket sales and shirt sales, and mugs, and Keyrings etc etc. |

Utter codswollop ... with respect.
The club have never marketed centurions effectively. The town, the club and the sport drives the brand. Irrespective of silly moniker in Leigh RLFC or not. |

C'mon Ian, You know the song.
A little bit of [sizeMonika[/size in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am.....

The logo is pathetic,but your post pointed to a name,not a logo!

I assume Mick Higgins, on a whim, just sucummed to the mid 1990's hype?
Most probably the truest explanation in all honesty. |

When I go to a game, I say I'm going watching Leigh.
When I see the Centurion logo, I automatically think of Leigh Centurions
The Centurion logo works as we know what it symbolizes

Exactly Roy,and for that reason you just can't change it or lose it,without a very costly marketing plan. Could you imagine the cost to Procter & Gamble if they decided to change the name of Fairy Liquid! Or decided not to put Fairy on the bottle? |

When Bongser goes to a game, he says he's going watching Leigh.
When Bongser sees the Centurion logo, he automatically think of Atomic. Cokey has started to muddy the waters though. Then there's always Frank's cap!
Never have bought into the Centurions identity. It's as silly as a bombardier wearing full officer's dress uniform to advertise ale. Leigh pure and simple.
Should Proctor & Gamble start sponsoring RL, Bongser would rather Fairy appear on the shirts of the proposed NY, NY Nylons (or whatever they turn out to be marketed as).
Marketing, Schmarketing. Pah! |
