Central Coast Bears release new logo, aiming for 2012 inclusion

[adamkungl]

To P.C. going with the indigenous theme, I don't think Australia has to keep looking over it's shoulder to insure a certain race of people are kept happy, otherwise we may aswell ask the Americans to hand themselves back to the Indians

Worst. Post. Ever.

You have no clue what indigenous fauna is do you?

heres a hint, it has nothing to do with Aboriginal people...

NRL needs an ibis mascot...

The Central Coast Bin Birds, I like it.

what would happen to the Bears' hopes and dreams is a Sydney Club relocated to the CC before 2012?

the storm is also a singular noun which pisses me off a thousand times more than a 'bear'. BAH. HOW CAN THEY ALL BE ONE STORM BUT CALL THEMSELVES 'STORMERS'? it annoys me far more than it should.

meanwhile wheeeee bears! I will be so so happy if they're back. and if they do get back then it totally proves my theory that no one can argue with greg florimo.

A singular noun is still one step better than a verb (case in point: Queensland Roar). What is Craig Moore supposed to say? "I'm a Queensland Roar...ing person."

That would be funny if Manly decided to move up there wouldnt it!

:lol: Good point.

A relocation would bring baggage that the local supporter base would not necessarily accept. They would see it as tainted goods and not product that was derived from their area.

So what makes the Bears so different???

"The Central Coast needs its own team … a team that trains and plays in the region, that locals can feel 100 per cent connected to." Clyde said the North Sydney Bears were a team synonymous with the game itself

hypocrytical

 

[mightybears]

They'll probably add something [re North Sydney] to the jersey, like Wests Tigers did with the Magpie on their jersey sleeve.

There was a NSDRLFC board resolution to that effect.

we'd be f'ed, my worse fear-of the Sydney clubs goes arse under and gallop/nrl/news only helps if they move.

Mightybears, do you like the logo? (Wondering the opinion from a strong Bears supporter)

its the worst name in australian sport i reckon.

"im a mariner"

"im a jet"

"im a roar. I roar? Go Roar."

Yeah, i prefer round logos. Its red and black, the bear is not the 70's wombat but more the 'trent nathan era grizzly' and it gives prominence to the Central Coast as it should.

the good people of the old Brisbane Hollandia/Brisbane Lions weren't going to go for anything else though, after they 'sold' the Brisbane Lions name to the AFL for an absolute sh*tload.

I think the logo is pretty average actually. The Bear could be better.

HOWEVER - that said if they can get the right support then do it BUT it should be in a FAR wider strategic expansion push.

2011

- Southern Sharks - mainly Cronulla but playing atleast 4 Adelaide games
- Western Panthers? - 4/5 games out of Perth? - I would rather see the Reds but maybe their only option. I am think Panthers are the sort of team that other NRL supporters in Perth (aside from Eels fans) could easily pick up. (similar arrangement to Sharks - not simply Panthers home games but other teams should be encouraged to move a game if possible)

The NRL should really support this sort of option as it helps expansion as well as consolidation in Sydney.

2012

- CC Bears
- Southern Orcas

2015

- SQ
- PNG or Pacific - outside chance but just maybe?

That would cover nearly every base, now just to restructure to create a strong national credible second teir.

4 games?

interesting.

be a massive advantage if you played the Broncs, Titans, NQ and Warriors theer.

extra travel. plus we would get guaranteed money in games where a good crowd isn't certain.

last year we got 13k to the broncos and 8k against the Titans and Cowboys (admittedly poor weather)

still. something to consider.

 

[Blind Freddy]

This is all great news. But obviously not a scandalous/tabloid junk story for the News LTD papers to report on because it's a positive story for the sport.

 

[Kiki]

i think this is fantastic. my brother and father were massive Bears fans and were absolutely devo when they went bust.

anyone being negative in this thread should give themselves an uppercut. that is all.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Bring it on!

***heads for the "where is the push for the Reds entry" thread***

This thread is nothing but hype.

 

[Lockyer4President!]

It's actually the Queensland Lions, they sold the right to use the Lions name for a pro sports team in Brisbane. I think. :?

Knew you'd turn up you NSW hating whinger.
