Maybe norths should’ve gone back to the shoremen

They won't but that hasn't stopped many NRL and AFL clubs lol

True, Redcliffe vs Miami. There have been other Panthers pro football teams in America long before the Penrith team....1920s-1950s.

Illawarra Steelers was another rip off.

I would like the GC to rebrand as the Marlins.

Our History

Our History

www.dolphinsnrl.com.au

1947 – The Redcliffe Peninsula Rugby League Club club is founded … The first club unofficial club emblem – or at least nickname – was the ‘Shellgrit’, no doubt spawned by the abundance of shell grit on the peninsula’s beaches.

1960 – Redcliffe is officially accepted into the Brisbane Rugby League premiership, with the club known as ‘The Seagulls’.

1968 – The club takes on the name that has made it famous across Queensland, Australia and now the globe – The Dolphins.

Agree. Don't know if league teams have tried it but alot of soccer teams their supporters have relationships with clubs in other countries where they share the same colours or mascots. Good way for league teams to build awareness of the game in other parts of the world, especially the US where there are common mascots/names.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I think Redcliffe should go back to the Shellgrit

 

[Bukowski]

Very cool name, did they reveal the logo?

No … it’s just the name so far

I think Redcliffe should go back to the Shellgrit

it would be cool to acknowledge it like the bulldogs do with berries or the roosters with tricolours

 

[Gobsmacked]

I've been sceptical of a PNG franchise and how strong it could be but I must say, this name has grown on me awfully fast!
PNG Chiefs sounds cool! That's a strong brand!
Looking forward to seeing the logo

There is and was some cool unique names in the USARL:
Philadelphia fight
DC Slayers
Jaxonville axemen
Boston Thirteens

I can't think of the others but even they had an overlap in the Rode Island Rebellion.
