White field for the back with squad number and player name in Cherry.

White socks with Cherry turnovers.

At least pay lip service to our trad colours.

Then perhaps a leopard on the front rather than a jaguar!

Oh no, you had to unpeel the Leopard vs Jaguar onion

Surely this is a wind up and great marketing scheme?!

It can’t be true with how amateurish the whole presentation was.

The bad photoshop of the players, the explanation of the owner liking leopards, it being a picture of a jaguar from Google.

Surely not true.

So much buzz and publicity about it the actual rebrand will be class.

Some great and honest opinion expressed on here. I was at the launch - it was very professional. It was also explained that things had been a bit rushed to get the new name to the RFL for the fixture list, ie dont want fixtures saying Centurions coming out with a bottle of tippex, and the brochure only went to print that morning 1.30am, and the squad hadn't had the photo shoot yet.
Over the next few days I hope we play around with Cherry and White on the home shirt and liven up the badge, but everything else made me very proud to be a Leyther and motivated to support the vision of the future.
Can't wait for 2023

Don't think there is anything wrong with the name change. Would have just done a redesign of the centurions brand myself, but no problem with the Leigh Leopards think it will have more traction with younger fans. Think the badge needs a bit of work, be good to have a more fierce Leopard and some mire dynamic typography, think a stronger badge would help drive the brand. Shirt wise think we need options that have the cherry and white, black and white probably good for magic weekend. May be good to swap the Jaguar for a Leopard and would keep the back clean. These are all tweaks that can be made given a bit more time season doesn't start til Feb 2023 so we have some time to take onboard fan feedback. Understand we are not RL fans favourite team that is what comes of being a smaller team that disrupts the status quo at times, Can't see what is so bad about the name, we have tigers, wolves, rhinos, wildcats, bulls why not leopards.

Both Leopards & jaguars are Panthers which we already have. Americans also, wrongly, sometimes use Panthers to mean Cougars (which we also have - and which has a negative association with women of a certain age with certain needs).

Cornwall have been taking it up their Choughs all year.

Thank goodness, bearing in mind our head coach and one of our halves, we didn't go with Leigh Lam(b)s!

All said and done, Bongser would rather be a Leigh Leopard than a Wigan Cheetah! Spelling here is atrocious.

Now that a few days have past I'm more than happy with the re-brand countless digs from wolves , warriors and even a wildcat being a leopard doesn't even sound strange anymore I've even found myself defending the shirt but that's more a case of sticking up for Leigh than actually liking it, the flak and negativity will subside and we,LL be ready to jump on the ride of a great season , even the headlines after the 1st win wil be gold- ie leopards show their teeth leapards give a mauling ( maybe not that one )etc I'm sure the writers know what their doing ! Either way I for one am counting the days down already.

If we lose, a leopard can't change it's spots.

And the good news keeps on coming.
Leigh Leopards have announced a merger with the Leigh Rangers Ladies team, with the new team retaining all the staff and players currently in the Rangers setup in their current roles. They will also take up the Rangers position in SL 2 for next season.
This is a another huge positive, and another box ticked in the IMG re-imaging of rugby league.
(I have also read in an unofficial comment, that the new member/season ticket packages may include entry to the games.)

Vanners, you live a few more streets away from LSV than Bongser does. How is it you hear everything sooner?

I am on the clubs email list from way back and I started creeping around on Facebook occasionally. (I even post the odd comment but don’t know, and don’t want to know how to do more than that). I am careful to try fact check as best as possible before believing everything on Facebook or passing it on. I will however never break a confidence or claim to have an inside angle.
If you haven’t heard it yet, I would encourage everyone to listen to Derek's interview on BBC Radio Manchester, which believe was today (Sunday) and should still be available on the app I read. He talks about the time being right for the change, how and why the badge, shirt and monochrome colours are not the finished article and how reaction to those (badge, shirt, colours) is being constantly monitored as part of the final decisions yet to be made. He also talks about how we will set the standard for game day experience this coming season.
Having just spent last weekend in Seattle at a Washington Huskies College Football game (50k plus) and then a Seattle Seahawks football game (70k plus), the game day experience is an essential part of bringing in the crowds. The game itself is not a patch on our great game, but the game day experience is something to behold. The city buzzes, bars are packed, and the whole day is a party. A huge boost commercially for the whole city.

Keep Elvis!
