Gold Coast to do something they've never done before

[ram raid]

What do WA fans think about the 'Reds' for a name?

 

[dangerousdave]

Steelers and Raiders both also play on the idea of an outside of Sydney invasion

 

[Canard]

I didn't think those Aces, Mavericks things were anything but an artists impression of potential team names that were included in a RLW once. I understood they had no official capacity to them at all

Could be wrong though.

Yep you're wrong, check who owns/owned the trademarks for these two.

Valimanda Pty Ltd owns the Mavericks logo, and Rugby League South Australia Pty Ltd owns the Aces logo.

isn't that the vehicle the storm used to orchestrate their marquee booths and double books?

I liked the Seagulls name the best. If they did change it... Dolphins would be good.

Anyone ever heard of a story of the brisbane rams around super league era?

I'm no WA fan but I loved the name Reds with the big thumping Red Roo as the mascot. Very WA.

No. But after SL and when the NRL formed I remember a potential East Coast Tigers, which was GC Chargers, Easts Tigers (Brisbane) and Balmain Tigers merger

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Ok, hows this for a rebranding idea:

They keep they name "Gold Coast Titans", but ditch the weird centurion logo and change to something like this...

As in the HMAS Titan fleet (in a similar vein to the Crushers and the train imagery referencing the sugar cain industry)

This would mean the last 8 years of pushing the Titans name wouldnt be time wasted but we could finally ditch the greek mythology
(thinking about it, i dont remember the club every trying to expand on that) and justify the name as some local reference.

This would mean we could play on the beach/aquatic/navy theme youd expect from a GC franchise, again, without losing the last 8 years of name recognition.

If you press CNTRL + - 60 times you can see the above logo.

Yeah that doesn't seem like a bad idea.

What a crappy joke. I hate posts that are trying to be funny but aren't. They're just such a waste of space and time all round. :x

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I still like Gold Coast Skase.

Or the Gold Coast Groves.

Imagine that: Support the Gold Coast Groves...as simple as A B C!!!

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Maybe they can do a slowly-slowly name change.

So Gold Coast Titans.

Then Gold Coast Tits and Arghs!

Then Gold Coast Pirates?

 

[Kirky]

HMAS Titan fleet

Nope.

HMAS Titanic
Titan Fleet Sinks
Titanic Catastrophe
Mutiny on the bad ship Titanic!
Fans flee sinking Titan fleet
Titanic fleet hits iceberg

At least make Badel work for his headlines.

I remember hearing about that, it was spoken about during the 97 season. I think the Crushers were struggling and wanted to get involved with the merger with Gold Coast, but when they folded it was then planned to have Gold Coast, Easts Tigers and Balmain Tigers. I think Balmain didnt want to know about it.

Hahah, it doesnt matter what name is chosen, bad puns are just part of sport media....

(My favourite to date is still "West Sydney in Parra-dice" from '09 i think)

i don't have a problem with Greek mythology
