Damien Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I suppose it's an animal that isn't currently in use. They could have paid homage to their blue socks history and gone with Halifax Blue Whales. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hela Wigmen Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Strange. No big unveiling. Nothing on their website. I wonder if there was any consultation with fans and if there were any other options. Still, they’re seemingly moving with the times but it’s about how they use this new identity that ultimately matters. I grew up with them as the Blue Sox, I know I’ll be in the minority but I quite liked it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been hosting a press conference at The Piece Hall this afternoon - streamed over their Facebook page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DI Keith Fowler Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I mean, I know they couldn't exactly be Halifax Smurfs but I just can't associate Panthers with blue. If you know one thing about a panther it's that they're black. 1 I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin James Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Will be ditched within 5 years. Logo says absolutely nothing, looks like a generic design they've picked from a catalogue and stuck Halifax on top of. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuutaisrambo Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Think I prefer the Cas Panthers logo. Who decided out of all the things Rugby league needs to change in the UK that clubs badges is top of the list? Wigan, Salford..now this. "Stick a cartoon character on the badge and the kids will come" Looks like a kid designed it. How many Premier league football teams have a cartoon style mascot for the club badge.

Hela Wigmen Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The badge itself looks alright on a white background but on the blue of the shirt, it gets lost a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly looks like the whole thing could have been conceived and executed in one week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
