  1. A super League war in the UK in this day and age would be awesome........might even get coverage in mainstream media
  2. You don't think a well funded professionally run rival Rugby League competition could poach any players from SL? Gee where can I get stadiums to use in the uk? If only there was another professional sport with stadiums literally everywhere most of which are miles better than Super league grounds and free in the summer? They could invite the SL clubs they want to join? As for fans I think the idea is to target new ones in new areas.......not sure if that concept has ever been discussed on this forum before? I'm not saying the NRL will or can afford to do this but someone else with money could do it easily. Why try to deal with the chumps running our game and spend money fixing a failing sport when you can just set up new and take the good bits?
  3. How rich are the NRL? If they are serious about expanding over here, rather than dealing with SL owners and the RFL and sorting out our mess, couldn't they just set up a rival NRL Europe and take our players? Especially if they bring a broadcaster with them.......they could do what the PDC did to the BDO in darts.
  4. IMG system is simply there the keep the existing SL clubs safe There is no way a side outside SL can get a better grade than a side in SL now the first lot of grading has been done. It's only possible by throwing away money into a sport that doesn't make any. The top scoring team outside SL (say it's Bradford) are simply waiting for a super league club to go bust otherwise they have zero chance of getting a higher score than a side already in SL. The original idea of B Grade clubs being allowed to go up and down was ok but that is clearly too close to proper P&R. The only good thing about this system is that we now have a proper semi pro championship without a full time team in there with a much more expensive squad. Whoever wins the Grand Final this year is the best semi pro side. We've basically broken away from SL and provide an insurance policy for them in case one of their clubs goes bust.
  5. Does anyone get 3400 average home gates outside SL? Especially now with pretty much zero chance for promotion until the next SL club goes bust. I hear people banging the drum for Bradford but they got less than 3k in the CC win agains Cas last weekend. Paddy needs to be patient.......we played pretty average rugby last year and burnt a few bridges. All we've had so far are friendly matches and CC games against amateur teams all in horrendous weather. Hopefully if we start to put decent performances/results together the crowds will slowly grow but to average 3400 is a ridiculous target outside Super League, the majority of the championship will struggle to get half that gate.
  6. Looks more like a thrash metal t shirt..........Although I think playing rugby on horse back could be interesting
  7. It does look a bit like one.......I think it's meant to be a jousting helmet There's more Flat Caps than Top Hats in Featherstone
  8. Fev have only ever really used the town coat of arms (apart from a pirate for a couple of years) so it would be something with a Knight's helmet, Feathers and crossed Axes.
  9. The current Fev logo exists because they wanted a version of the Featherstone coat of arms simple enough to put on a pen. Then after I created the 1921 logo for this purpose (pens, pin badges etc) they used it on a kit (without telling me), then realised that the badge doesn't actually say Featherstone Rovers anywhere which resulted in the logo that we have now. When I first started helping the club out around 15 years ago the logo they used for marketing was a jpeg of a fuzzy photo of the town coat of arms.
  10. There's a huge number of football teams with very similar round logos now for this reason.....
  11. It's a nice illustration but looks a bit like a cartoon logo for a bank or like a police badge.........defo one of the weaker ones in the collection. However the actual Sheffield Eagles logo is awful and looks like is was created by an amateur in word with a clip art eagle. Taste is subjective........however some of the logos kicking about in pro Rugby League don't look like they've been created by a professional designer. The 'shocking' eagles badge above may not be to your taste but it looks professional.
  12. It's a mixed bag.....you wouldn't have the same illustrator design every team in a comp and his illustrative style suits some teams a lot better than others. The Warrington & Catalan designs are much nicer than what they have now IMO. Some of the 'animal' based designs are a little generic but compared to what already exists and is being used especially in the UK I wouldn't describe any of the designs as 'shockers'.
  13. same guy's done nearly every team.... some nice ideas in there. https://dribbble.com/fraserdavidson
  14. Retro logos are currently trendy in football.......... The new Leeds Utd yellow kit with a smiley badge is their highest selling kit of all time. London might just be doing something similar.........or testing the water to move back to the older logo. They had a bit more success with that old logo and the current badge with that grey gradient in the background is pretty awful. Just found this on a freelance design blog https://dribbble.com/shots/22874075-London-Broncos It's better than anything the club have come up with (isn't that always the case)
  15. and finally (after 20 years) St George Dragons are no longer sponsored by the St George Bank Dragon
