Gold coast Dolphins

[Roosterphin]

How do the rest of you feel about them using Redcliffes logo.

To me I think it is disgraceful. Reddy have been around for ages and there are plenty of other names they could have used. Now what will happen if Redcliffe were to try and enter the NRL?

Your thoughts?

 

[Dirty Hoe]

did you ask the same question when penrith 'panthers' came about...what about the wests panthers?? they had been around for alot longer

:roll:

 

[Roosterphin]

mmmm no as I wasnt born.

Anyway I think that situation is a little different dont you.

 

[weasel]

Yeah, well it was only the NSWRL back when the Panthers were admitted into the comp so I suppose it didn't really matter. I'm pretty disappointed, Redcliffe are the QRL's best-known club and it's a shame the emblem that they're so well known for is going to be claimed by another team, and a Queensland team at that. Still, sharing mascots is nothing new to the Queensland Cup, just look at Wynnum and Tweed Heads.

is it protected by copyright , the dolphin ?

 

[Dirty Hoe]

if gold coast dolphins do get in....why dont they come to some sort of an arrangement where they can use redcliffe dolphins as their feeder team, or reserve grade?? like the horseheads do with toowoomba and storm do with norths

i doubt it would be a goer, but thought i would mention it

I do not particularly care....theres 2 seagulls in the Qld cup....I can"t see how you copyright a dolphin....having said that the Brisbane Lions paid out to Hollandia :roll:

hollandia is not a bad beer....except its only 345ml...but its 5%

I would have preffered another emblem but they decided to go with the Dolphin and I don't think they will change it.

The Redcliffe Club attempted to register the Dolphin Emblem in the 70's as the clubs trademark but was unsuccessful because the Dolphin belongs to everyone.

[Dirty Hoe]

[DIEHARD]

Bring on the Central Coast team

As if any Queenslander would say that! But then again this is coming from a bloke who plays Union! :roll:

 

[Sydney Carton]

Anything but the Gold Coast "Dolphins"

Redcliffe should get a bid together.

 

[oxenham]

Could not afford it.....would not be that stupid....would they?

 

[dizi]

The people with the idea to call them the Gold Coast Dolphins can't honestly say that they came up with the name by themselves. The name Dolphins is known as a powerfull rugby league club in Queensland and is associated with success because of all the hard work and shitloads of money put in by the Redcliffe club. They know they stole it and they should not be allowed to get away with it.

 

[Dirty Hoe]

dizi mate youve had a shocker...as if they stole the name :roll:

they had a survey asking people around gold coast what they wanted the team to be named and the dolphins was most popular, followed by pirates.

 

[oxenham]

Its a dolphin....you cannot trademark a dolphin....what you probably can trademark is the REDCLIFFE dolphins.The soccer team was the BRISBANE Lions not Lions.There was probably several dolphin sporting teams around before Redcliffe claimed it....are they going to sue Redcliffe.

 

[rugged]

When you look up Gold Coast Dolphins on google it comes up with a cricket club of the same name. At least Redcliffe are the Redcliffe Dolphins.

There was a soccer team called the Brisbane Lions and now they changed to the Queensland Lions - still Lions though.

 

[XXXX Cap]

Maybe Redcliffe could become the Queensland Dolphins.

I'm sure everyone would love them if they did that.

 

[oxenham]

Maybe they can be the Brisbane Dolphins.....or even(wait for it)the Australian dolphins.....more in line with their ambitions :lol:
