tiffers Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Seeing as silly season has erupted, arguably directly after the GF and just before GB landed in the southern hemisphere... Here's a bit of fun... It may also cause palpitations for some of our less inclined friends. What town would you like to see develop a professional RL team? There are a couple of structural rules: Name your town/team Nickname for the club Club colours & why Kit main sponsor & why Home Stadium Name your marquee player. So without further ado... Truro, Cornwall. Known as the Cornish Marauders RLFC. Will play in the Cornish colours of black with a gold & white cross - think England RL shirt. Main sponsor will be Cornish Rattler, 7% local cyder that gets you from A to B very efficiently, delivering a cracking hangover the next day. To play at the "Stadium for Cornwall" when completed (8k expected), prior to that will share Truro FC's home ground Treyew Rd, cap. 3,200. Should meet SL standards. Marquee player would be Martin Taupau, he fancies swapping Manly beach for Fistral beach. I didn't fancy Zak Hardaker with alcohol at that strength around the joint...

Big Picture Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Montréal being very much a French-speaking city now, this would never work within the English structure but it could be great in a transatlantic, intercontinental and multinational league of teams in globally recognized major cities. Les Patriotes de Montréal, named after the 1837 Lower Canadian rebels and wearing the colours of red, white and green from their flag. Home jersey modelled on the traditional home jersey of les Canadiens de Montréal but with green replacing royal blue, i.e. red with a green band around the middle flanked by narrow white bands, and with the same design added across the top of the shoulders from the neck to the seam. Away jersey the same design but with the red and white reversed and alternate jersey the same but with the green and red reversed. Green shorts with stripes down the sides matching the design on the top of the shoulders precisely, socks red with the same design in green and white about halfway down. Long sleeved jerseys would have the bands on the sleeves too, sized and aligned with the bands on the main part of the jersey. The socks might or might not have their arrangement of the colours alternated to match the corresponding jerseys for matches where the other jerseys are worn. Stadium Stade Saputo, currently home to the city's MLS franchise l'Impact de Montréal. President, general manager and head coach to be determined, the first two being headhunted locally by a top executive talent recruiter in Montréal retained for that purpose. Sponsors to be determined but possibly Saputo as main sponsor, they might love the potential international exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
