I have had similar experiences several times.
We are known globally as a rugby team , but if you mention Hull fc people are either bemused , or think it is the football team.

There was an episode of Pointless a year or so ago in which a hundred people were asked to name as many Super League clubs as they could.
Hull FC came about sixth in terms of how many people said it, Rovers about 9th. Possibly some people just said Hull and that was counted as Hull FC, I don't know.
If the Hull Kingston Rovers "brand" is more well known then so be it. It's only because of the unsual name and not because of sporting success.
Anyway, lets face it RL in general has far less profile nationally than twenty years ago.

Engelbert Humperdinck - now that's an iconic name.
He's still sh*t mind you.

rlYet he was the first artist to keep the Beatles off number one in 1967. He of the 63 gold and 24 platinum records representing sales of 150 million units.rl
Lots of people would disagree with you!  |

In his hey day yes,but recently finished nearly last in the eurovision song contest and has had no hit for over 27 years so there are some similarities.

Too many are confusing a name with brand.
hkr has a distinctive name. A name which was made a parody of by Mike Yardwood.
A brand is a representation of something. Somewhat would you say the "brand" of hkr represents?

The parody was of Eddie Waring, impressionists use exageration to portray their characters so obviously if it's a Rugby League commentator you would use the most distinctive, recognisable brand name in that sport. |

Love this thread, it's starts of my talking about a rovers obsessed hull fan, then all the rovers fans talk about is, the fact that rovers are a bigger brand name than hull because you were once mentioned on eggheads.
Some of you lot are easily pleased.

Too right it is, it's what most teams strive for.
I heard that Shane Wane, put I as the number one target for wigan this year.

I could have sworn sir Bob started it about the Rovers brand name, and the title kind of backs this up, but if your ego is in need of a little boost you knock yourself out bud! |

The most ridiculous thread I've read on here for a loooong time. Zoddy and Easty 'contributing' in agreement with the OP confirms the moronicity upon which this thread was started.
"We have a more recognisable name than Hull FC. Yippeee".
The fact that we have a thread on this with so many fans in agreement, shows how small time the mentality of our fans is. Any tiny victory and we as a group latch on to it as if it actually means anything.
"A person on Eggheads didn't know who Hull FC were". Jesus Christ, do you guys actually see what you're writing? It's pathetic.
