Seriously I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. The Centurions moniker and branding has always seemed poor and its one of those monikers that hasn't really worked. Back in Super League, IMG new era, it may well be a good time to start afresh.

Whether you think it fits etc it's recognisable which is a rarity. Plus it's stuck. Halifax didn't have one for years and it seems the name has stuck too. To answer OP bored journalism I'm hoping.

Did Leigh have a traditional nickname before they were centurions?

They did. “The Comics”

They are bidding to take over as the 2nd French team and going for Leigh-quipe.

A huge number of traditional US logos are just letters.

Well, the ones that aren't massively racist.

Would that be considered racist in today's Politically Correct world, names which had no intension of being insulting or offensive when they were originated, we have got to the situation were we are at today by jobsworth's who have nothing better to do than stir up ill feeling and antagonize.

agreed there is definitely something in that.

I am amazed that the Leeds Rhinos one has stuck though, I thought it was a rubbish name and a rubbish logo

Well and truly stuck.

Is it the only one where fans have chants based around it in SL?

Never heard "Come on you tigers/warriors etc"

Mixture. Some are just caught out and a bit icky, some are naive but no harm meant, some are dodgy.

I don't think their fans are as rebellious or throw tantrums if their chosen choice isn't selected by others and undermine all until their chosen one is anointed,...

I think there are a lot of people who want that to be the case.

Let's see what the new roster looks like before making predictions of their demise, one thing is certain there will be no promoted team ever amassed to take on the job they will be challenged with in better shape than Leigh, we just have to wait and see if the stratergy pays dividends, as a supporter of the club I am looking forward immensely to next season.

Bloke told me this morning they had to change it to Barns Leigh so Hardaker could be convinced travelling would not be an issue for him.
