I don't see the point in change for changes sake. |

I have a ground? Must have missed that.

And was the one the fans voted to be the nickname of choice. Unfortunately, the man in charge at that time was a certain Nigel Wood 
I don't particularly like the cat design at all, but our current mascot 'Hali-Cat' is popular with our younger fans so why not carry on the brand with the future generation in mind? |

Which would be a fair standpoint from a person who didn't seem to criticise every outbreak of it without ever offering constructiv reasoning.
Progress requires change, experimentation, running the risk of ridicule, etc. Fax cocked it up pretty soundly in the marketing department back in 95 at the same time as the Leeds and Bradfords got it right, but this looks ok to me - a new look grounded in history, tradition, etc. Good luck to them as, like many on here, I would like them to succeed so we can play them again regularly. |

Quote So what's the rationale behind the Bulls???? What connection do Bradford Steam Pigs have to a Bull pre 1996'"
Homage to Chicago, then one of the leading sports clubs in the world. Similar to why Leeds wear white FWIW.
As for Fax, they could go with the cat if they wanted but it seems they've fallen between two stools. I can understand a reluctance to go with 'Bombers', particularly since 7/7.
St Helens and Hull FC both have strong brands other than the name of their town - Saints; FC/Airlie Birds. Halifax... well, they purged Blue Sox with RLFC. But now Poppa clearly thinks the 'no nickname, town coat of arms badge' is lacking something. I think he should have had the courage of his convictions and given the club a motif that it can work with.
Our visitors seem to forget that even the much maligned 'Blue Sox' name was chanted as often as 'Halifax' while it was in service. Get the right name, embrace it with conviction and kick on. In the meantime just be grateful your chairman didn't name you after the team he supports.  |

The RFL vetoed Halifax Bombers as it was politically incorrect

No they didn't. The Club did, and being 'politically' incorrect wasn't the consideration. It just seemed wrong. |
