The Gold Coast Dolphins aren't an American rip off.
And I can't believe some of you idiots think it is. You are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel to debunk the Gold Coast aren't you you Central Coast spoil sports! Getting desperate!
I said Brisbane and the Cowboys are rip offs and I dont say that just because of their names. Such as the Broncos and Cowboys, which ARE American names. Dolphins aren't solely American citizens, when people say Dolphins you don't think AMERICA. I say it because they are direct copies of their American counterparts.
(Broncos should have been Brumbies and Cowboys should have been Bushrangers)
My examples of rip off teams was my attempt at showing you how ridiculous you are. But if you want to be serious, let's do it. Your example that North Sydney are older than Chicago is irrelevant. Because in 1922 North Sydney were not the Bears were they? North Sdyney copied Chicago! SHOCK HORROR!
SHUT DOWN!
Anyway on with business.
When I said the Cowboys and Broncos are Americanised rip offs I meant this!
News Ltd seem obsessed with copying the Americans. Granted the Broncos and Cowboys had American names when they joined the competition but at least they had original and different mascots. In the last few years News Ltd have turned them into copies. This is what a NFL rip off looks like, the Gold Coast Dolphins dont have an Americanised nickname nor a copy of a NFL logo.
The Broncos not only copied the inanimate head, a rather poor copy I might say, but the fact that they put BRONCOS and then Brisbane in tinny tiny font underneath. Hell they even nearly copy the font. How pathethic. And the poor old Cowgirls, well News Ltd recently incorporated a star very much like the famous Dallas Cowboys star into the North Queensland emblem.
Funny no one has ever called Redcliffe an American wannabe. I think Tigers and Bears are more the usual suspects, if any. :roll:
Someone post a picture of the Gold Coast logo and then we will post the Miami one.
Le Rouge and his cry babie cronies would make an issue out of anything against the Gold Coast Dolphins. They don't care about the future of Rugby League and it makes me sick!
