too pretentious though ... griffin is best ;-) ... the old classic authors would love you, instead of hating you for being a pretentious git

 

[Mad Dogg]

Bah, we want a bit of hate drummed up. Some negative feeling is always good for the atmosphere at games. ;-)

Well may i just wish you the very best then ? You'll have John Cartwright as your coach and sometimes, just sometimes, i wish he was our coach. He has an incredible insight and by god it'll be great to see this guy in action. This Gold Coast team will be sh*t hot !! Woohoo !! Go those Griffins :lol:

 

[DIEHARD]

He did a great job with the USA national team.

Go the Gold Coast Gryphons/Griffins!

 

[DIEHARD]

Something to get the imagination going.

 

[OVP]

Thats absolutely sensational Diehard. Even tho i hate your spelling, that emblem really captured what we all wanted for the logo/emblem ... superb !!

Surely everyone can agree on an emblem like that ... where's cliffy ?

 

[nqboy]

That's one emaciated lion. It looks like one of those silly dogs that should be fed to a real dog.

For me its the Gold Coast Pirates

The Slogan could be a skull and crossbones with the words "Pirates are coming 2007"

Mascot could be a Parrot, and of course pirates

When near the tryline, trumpet sounds, everyone yells "PUT EM TO THE SWORD"

Pirates would live on the GOLD Coast

Everyone gets an eyepatch as they go though the gates

Has been a local pub side called pirates for years here, so allready a support base.

Half time a massive float comes onto the ground, as a Pirate ship, with the cheerleaders

Easily get a team song

Could keep Dolphin jersey colours

Great logo

Kid friendly

Could name stands Starboard stand, Port stand ect, and the bench would be ofcourse the plank

T'shirts for supporters "I am a Pirate" skull and cross bones

Sponser "Bundy Rum"

Endless possibilities

Something to get the imagination going.

It is "half eagle" - meaning maly will relocate.
It is mythological - just like most of the GC bid.

Very appropriate.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

maybe the logo could have the seagull , the giant and the charger all the bottom with three arrows pointing together to say theyve formed whatever animal or logo they choose ie gryphlin , gremlikn, pirate, earthquake, pythons..

[rugged]

Of the above ones, I would choose

Cougars
Surfers
Phoenix (like the reference to the ashes of the previous teams)

the source of the word griffin comes from "fantasy" novels by many authors ... griffin IS the correct pronunciation/spelling.

nobody, in the entire history of humanity, has EVER known what a gryphon is or was or will be. Stick with the original, thank you.

The source of the word isn't from fantasy novels. The source is ancient mythology, which fantasy authors have made use of.

There is no single accepted spelling for gryphon, so both are correct.

The dictionary says the word comes from the latin gryphus, so seems to be more "original" and accurate to use that spelling than griffin.

In any case, it isn't that unique and is a pretty silly name.
