Perhaps this has more to do with investors and sponsors who don't recognise the difference between Harlequins RU and RL undermining our ability to attract investment into the club a problem faced by the Board and staff and not those that post on here. The club has already changed the logo and name to Harlequins Rugby League due to feedback that the kids and probably their families thought RL stood for Rugby Lessons. I doubt the club expect a mere name change and different coloured kit to resolve everything but is part of a wider strategy of raising our profile and separate identity.
As for mere spectators I only have annecdoatal evidence regarding a few union fans that I know but the recognition of the league side is non existent since we changed names. They thought we disappeared several years ago.
