Brisbane Tigers make their bid to be 18th team

[The Great Dane]

Yes coz "bombers" is so sophisticated... fmd

That's the weakest dodge I've ever seen.

There's more to a brand than just the name, and you know it.

"United" lacks imagination I'll leave it at that...

That would depend on how you went about it.

You also have no right to accuse others of lacking imagination considering that you've never had an original idea in your life. Every single one of "your" ideas is knicked from a famous team.

As for the Dolphins they wanted to carry their brand, maybe not as redcliffe, but definitely as their mascot dolphins, trying to change that for them is useless...
Either way its a moot argument from years ago

That's fine, however the way they went about it was stupid.

It was stupid when they proposed it, it's still stupid now, and the NRL would have stepped in and forced changes if they were competently run.

Hence your dumb opinions which all make sense to you and only you, your constant knitpicking of other peoples opinions or concepts are as valid as your bad taste for "united" and your favorite "local fauna"... again either way most of your ideas are outdated or just plain useless as the bombers bid or the firehawk bids you loved so much...

Anyone who thought a team called the firebirds was going to get an nrl license has no clue

Oh yeh firehawks that’s even worse

same people who bagged the dolphins

the club that have close to 30k members In one year

 

[Perth Red]

I like the firehawks as a brand. Maybe you can explain why you think it’s not a good name? Do you hate sea-eagles as well?

firehawks would have hit 40k by now and wouldn’t have had any shtty 10k crowds. Missed opportunity For a genuine brisbane2 club.

Ask easts who've dumped that title

Doesn’t make it bad, we dumped reds which is an awesome brand opportunity.

I like ostriches

cause you like to bury your head in the sand a lot when it comes to nrl expansion.

Bid failed. Do you really think the NRL (News ltd) choose the bid on the logo? hahah

come on tell us what you have against Firehawks as a brand. I'm genuinely interested. Sports branding is as personal as fashion and food preferences but I'm interested if you think it is any worse than say Broncos or Sea-Eagles and why?

Yes it’s awful

you want a mascot kids will like

dolphins is perfect

they had to explain what a fire hawk was too complicated and weird

storm is an awful name too but it’s stuck cause of how sucesful they are but it’s a horrible name

Tigers ditched firehawks. Wonder why?!

Tigers ditched firehawks. Wonder why?!

Another Brisbane side launches $25million bid to join the NRL

You'd better get on to Tennesee and tell them what a bad choice they've made lol

Dolphins is very NFL to me and most people. Not a bad brand just everyone associates it with a different sport.

Like I've said never in the history of sport has a brand made or broke a sports club. There's been some shockers that do well (I mean what kid wants to associate with a slimy eel?) and some great brands that underperform on and off the field (Tigers stand up).

 

[Perth Red]

Tigers ditched firehawks. Wonder why?!

Probably same reason we ditched reds.

 

[Pippen94]

Dud?!

If parra was picking a name today they wouldn’t be picking the eel

and the nrl is full of nfl mascot names
(Cows broncs)
the fact easts thought firehawks was a good choice is a reflection of how out of touch they were
