While preferring just plain 'Leigh', Leigh Leopards is as good a name as any if one has to go down that route - alliterative and a suitably ferocious animal. As for the badge, it's a leopards head. What are people expecting to see on the badge? An octopus? Two leopards mating?

When I go to the match at the LSV , I am going watching Leigh , not Centurions , not Leopards , similarly if it's round here it's ' United ' , ' City ' , ' Liverpool '  ' Bowton ' , if you're watching Wigan , it's the Rugby , if it's football it's ' Latics ' 

Anything added is not that important , as you put , you'd have thought we'd put a leopard eating a baby on there from the reaction of the ' experts ' on here

A Jaguars ringpiece?

 

in all seriousness i would expect a professionally designed badge for a start.

Tough , get over it 

[binosh]

Cost of living crisis, energy crisis, inflation, governments a mess, still recovering from a Covid hit sport riddled in debt and Chris & Gavin in the internet are having sleepless nights over little Leigh’s ###### logo

Just Gilfman and his infatuation with font here for a right party.

If its not important then why are Leigh doing it?

Jaguars are completely different species to leapords....South American species not Afro-asian 

Panthero pandus  Vs Panthera Onca 

Not sure about the differences in ringpiece anatomy to be fair 

 

 

Some people have strange ' hobbies ' ?

I'm not having sleepless nights, I'm happy to say when something is good or terrible though - I've done it on a range of subjects over the years!

If the 'everyone hates us but we don't care, world's against us mentality' gets you through the day though, then you do you, champ.

Some people are really thinking too deeply about something that was probably done to attract some younger fans and sell a few membership packages. Heaven forbid we attract new fans!! You never we may attract some of the lesser spotted away fans who like leopards.

Classic whataboutery right there.

 

so because the country is in a mess we shouldn’t comment on a RL rebrand in a RL forum?

It's quite obviously just an attempt to show how versatile the badge is (in his eyes) and to placate fans by adding red. The trouble is adding the red to that design by changing the spots just doesn't work on any level.

So why didn't he actually settle on the badge/logo/colours etc BEFORE the relaunch?

I'm no businessman or anything like that but surely you have everything in place to launch not just make it up as you go along?

It's this carry on that is making it even more cringeworthy.

Everyone doesn’t hate us, just you 3, Dave T, Dallas Mead, and the other one who’s name I forget who mentions Leigh on every thread.

If only your club had thought a bit more deeply about their rebrand eh?

if my club had come out with that shambles id be the first to call them out.

Some of them are, some of them that have recently been professionally designed aren’t.

None are as bad as Leighs though

IYO, IMO Wigan's looks bloody awful , other than HKRs which I think is really clever I don't give a flying one

I don’t particularly like Wigan’s badge but it was done professionally and with thought and care.

you should care, your club is being ridiculed

I don’t hate Leigh, at all, I do think this rebrand is shoddy and just giving my opinion on it.

So what is YOUR problem then ? , You don't like Leigh , just admit it , it's blindingly bloody obvious , it really isn't important

My problem is the sport should have higher standards.

I haven’t got an issue with the Leigh club
