But it never worked. Not like we are getting 10k kids going to the game purely because of the Cent-ur-i-ons 4- nightmare
"Leigh Rugby Football Club" then "est. 1878" under the town crest would be superb

| Its mainly aimed at Children and to identify.
Seeing/ meeting Arty the Centurion walking around is a highlight for some of the youngsters.
(Admittedly nothing anywhere will beat Parky Pig and the guy in it who had so much enthusiasm and was a natural entertainer).
If still able I'd have the Parky Man back (even on the payrole) and have him as 'Artys' brother or suchlike charging around the pitch pre match and at half time.
Everyone would then know about Leigh 'Centurions'

| I'd say Leigh RUFC, est 1878 with the town badge. I'm 17 but i like things that have a bit of class about them and a good old traditionalist.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

A bit of a contradiction there.

| I have to admit I'm not a fan of the Centurions thing myself.
However haven't we got to be careful of how we change our name for 'commercial' considerations?? I.E if an organisation which was trading and known as 'xxxxxxx' entered administration/financial strife could it trade as the same 'xxxxxxx' name upon re-launch or would it have to re-brand itself??

| Rebranding is expensive and fraught with the risk of alienating some of your customers/ fans.
We may have an opinion of what *we* would want, but how do we know that is the brand image that will also result in more fans being attracted? To find out properly takes time and money.
At the end of all that, how many more fans would we expect to get? How do we know this before we spend the cash in the first place.
Is it the branding of Leigh Centurions that is the problem anyway? How do we know?
What other stuff should/ could I do instead?
I would say that Leigh Centurions is currently not well placed to try this "experiment" to the detriment of other club activities.
For these reasons I wouldn't recommend a rebranding exercisse, unless it forms part of a wholesale, well targeted change of the club throughout.
Yours, PL (Bath MBA 2010).

| This club does not need rebranding. It needs a bit of tutty but not a new name.
