Can't you hear...

[d3@t3h]

Can't you hear the northern thunder?

You better run, you better take cover...
when the fans chunder

Apparently this is what tne NorthQld team is going for.

 

[Twizzle]

at least its slightly original

 

[Red Bear]

No its not, Thirroul decided they'd be called that ages ago and we actually got an illawarra senior football side

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

hahahahah

go the chunder!

 

[d3@t3h]

looking at how they used the name Northern and really made a thing of the T in the logo
I thought the team was based in Darwin rather than in Townsville

 

[langpark]

Nice logo, but there's a few teams I'd prefer to see get in ahead of Townsville

 

[CC_Eagle]

Thats almost as lame as the "Roar" or the "Glory".

A-League team names = poo.

 

[Schillaci]

 

[CC_Eagle]

Not anywhere near as tacky, but is there a need for both "United" and "FC"? Maybe it's just me.

The Bronco looks like a rocking horse, but it's definitely better.

 

[Iafeta]

I still think nibbs has got it right.. Townsville Townspeople.

 

[NK Arsenal]

I reckon it's an alright name. I love the logo!

:lol: Haha! Exactly what I thought.

I'm hearing Wollongong/South Coast.

I thought the same.

IT IS! I swear it is!

what is it with a league names? only wellington and newcastle have decent names. sydney and adelaide have names like a proper football team. queensland, perth, melbourne and central coast have the corniest names but thunder would just take the cake. just when i thought being called the roar couldn't get any worse it does

 

[CC_Eagle]

"Roar" is officially the worst team name after the NY Red Bulls.

They play like a bunch of big cats too *zing*


I don't mind "Mariners" tbh, suits the area. Un-educated, stinky, pisshead thieves. This is coming from a Coast resident and native too. Even if it is a SL rip-off.

I really don't see the need to Americanise football teams. Out of all the football teams in the world, how many actually have a "mascot" or title outside the MLS and A-League?

Most English teams do (Bulls, Black Cats, Cobblers, Red Devils, Hammers, Latics, Bees etc), but it's more an affectionate name than anything to do with mascots.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

nicknames are different to mascots

But how many are actually in the team name?

You dont see "Manchester United Red Devils V West Ham Hammers" on the TV Guide do you?

I'm all for some kind of unique tag for a side affiliated with a mascot/nickname, but names like the "QLD Roar" is laughable.
