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.

I’m antagonised by the way you spell antagonise H.

It must be a wind up.

Nope

I’m not having that as genuine. Someone’s done that on Paint, haven’t they?

[YCKonstantine]

That badge is so amateur it's laughable.

[phiggins]

If that's genuine, somebody needs sacking

[Spidey]

Oh my days 

[hunsletgreenandgold]

I honestly can't believe this is real - that badge is awful! 

[Chrispmartha]

 embarrassing 

[RigbyLuger]

How does that "offer more opportunities" than their previous name?

[Simon Hall]

Centurions wasn't that bad, just the logo was rubbish. Now they're rebranded to Leopards just so Degsy can keep wearing that leopard print hoodie. He probably did the logo himself. Embarrassing.

[Spidey]

And I thought today would be empty without a World Cup game

[Chrispmartha]

Good that they hired the Phoenix Club to announce it though

[Fevrover]

What was wrong with Centurions ? Better then that.

That’s my initial thought on it that they didn’t get a proper company to do it. It looks like something knocked up on Paint. 

Were Leigh fans consulted?

[idrewthehaggis]

This is a mere invitation to mock.

It surely has been mentioned but Leigh Lobbyists?

I had a look at the Leigh town of arms for inspiration. So.........

Leigh Shuttles

Leigh Spearheads

Leigh Sparrowhawks

Leigh Mullet Sables.

Leopards yeah. Alliteration wins over history unless this is some term I am unaware of like cougar?

Degsy did it in Word just before the presser 

[DI Keith Fowler]

That is shocking. It'd be poor for an amateur club never mind an SL club. Just everything from conception through to the badge itself is tin pot. They can't even be bothered to make it fit with the circular space on Twitter it's cut off. There's so much bad stuff to say I simply can't. 

[LeytherRob]

Oh god it rally is so bad. Name is bad but the badge is absolutely shambolic. Looks awful
