What annoys me at Salford is the apparently deliberate attempt to distance the club from our original nickname of "The Red Devils". We almost appear to be ashamed of the name & are seemingly willing to let United run roughshod over us, the final straw being the removal of the Devil from the badge last year, a rebranding to Salford Red Devils would be hugely popular but will sadly never happen.

Does anyone actually refer to their teams as such?'"

I've nothing against Wildcats, Reds, Rhinos etc but I do object to clubs being renamed. Leeds should be Leeds, Warrington should be Warrinton etc. Trinity are slowly becoming Wakefield Wildcats which, in my opinion is just plain wrong. The nicknames should be just that - nicknames. They could stil be used as marketing tools but not as the actual club name.
Arsenal are known throughout the world as the Gunners but they're not "Arsenal Gunners".

| Quote RL13="RL13"All this argument about appealing to the kids is ridiculous. If the only way your kid can engage with the fine sport of rugby league through the postering of some person in a mascot costume personifying a superficial brand, then good luck to the human species.
Personally, in the case of Wakefield. I think it's abhorrent the way they tainted one of the most famous and traditional names in British RL, and if we can't teach or at least convey the passion of tradition and heritage to our children, then forget it.
And to a degree, all this Wildcats, the Jungle, Warriors, etc... is probably insulting to most children. I know myself not being the brightest kid in the world would have been.'"
Wakefield Wildcats works far better than Wakefield Trinity! |

IMO teams such as Hull Kingston Rovers, St Helens, Bradford Northern, Wakefield Trinity never needed to change their names as they are very distinctive. However i can understand why a team just named after the town/city they play in would add a tag line to their name to make it more distinctive. Personally, the only one that works for me is Castleford Tigers.

| I am happy with them, "C'mon Fax!" works much better than "C'mon Blue Sox!" however!  |

The old one works for me but the club feels that to attract youngsters a new name was reqiured and then we became "Wildcats".
Dreadnoughts the old nickname seems to have almost gone.
If Wildcats is the way forward the so be it. |
