Would the "Titans" have been a suggestion had it not all ready existed in a sporting franchise?....Food for thought.....
and I think not.

I dont think so. Infact, if not for the Houston Oilers being moved Im sure we would never have seen the name "Titans" ever being used again for a sporting team.

Infact, Im pretty sure the word "Titan" would have been forgetten about.

I don't mind the name but what is with other teams trying to rip off the Parramatta colours?

Nth Qld, Hunter Mariners and now GC.

There are plenty of colours and combinations that would be just as good. What about Red and Yellow?

Why hasnt this been posted on the gold coast site, the nrl.com site or any other league site?


Im guessing by the fact that no one else has questioned it that it has been announced on radio or something - but its strange that NO related websites have reported it.

I hope the gold is a yellow gold and not an orange gold......WE are orange and the Tigers.

Tigers and titans too close, sh*t name, sh*t place, sh*t club.


but its strange that NO related websites have reported it

Damn youre probably right there although I really have a feeling that Titan has some kind of relevance to the sea or the ocean.

It was Cumberlands and then Sydney Uni's colours first, then Parra took 'em. Don't forget that Parra ONLY came into the comp in '47.

Last time I checked League Unlimited was a league site. You should use the side bar option or click on www.leagueunlimited.com

The answers to your questions are there.

Of all the colour combinations they had to take blue and gold (yes there's white there too but that doesn't matter) Parra should threaten legal action too, we've all seen how easily they crumbled before.
