Well, I've lurked on this board for years but as a Leigh fan I decided to join today to thank everyone for the brilliant humour on this thread which has made me crack a smile.  Frankly, there's not mu

And it's worth noting that a thread that began at 9.15am yesterday has now gone to 25 pages with 645 posts.

Whether you like the rebrand or not, it seems to be generating plenty of discussion.

The rebrand is ensuring that the club is being talked about.

It’s mostly pointing and laughing to be fair. The good parts are lost and the horrific bit is the main point… that is not good in anyones book..

 

also look up blue socks in the urban dictionary… having that as the name of a club is not cool!

Which document are you referring to?

The presentation document which YOU linked on twitter and said was "very impressive".

Not fifteen minutes ago, I finished reading an actual, 'dyed-in-the-paper' copy of the introductory, Leigh Leopards brochure, and to me it looks great; high-quality item, and the new name (Leopards replacing Centurions) great.

More modern for a start.  Centurions are ancient history.  How many people nowadays would automatically think, "Centurions - really snappy name!" 

Whereas sports clubs using the names of fast, fierce or fascinating animals abound.

Apropos of nothing, this is York RLFC's rebrand launch, from last week...

Such a cool idea to name the women's team after female viking warriors, for a team in Jorvic. Love it. Great visual relationship between the logos too, excellent.

Can you draw leopards too? Asking for a friend

Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

The feedback hasn't been mixed.

Is the Adobe link the brochure you are talking about or is there another one?

Just on Hull KR

Look at the difference between the rationale and this leopards thing

https://badge.hullkr.co.uk

 

Do the Leopards even have a working website? 

As an aside I thought the Hull KR rebrand was perfectly executed and communicated. As was Wigans and Salfords around the same time.

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.

I didn’t particularly care for Wigans redesign of the crest and was over critical, but the overall brand execution was excellent and it was obvious that a lot of care, thought and detail had gone into it.

Literally no thought or care has gone into this Leigh rebrand, he can say all he likes but there's no way a professional designer has been involved in any of it. Might have been someone who wants to be a graphic designer and owns a laptop but no-one who actually earns their money designing anything would churn this out.
