West Coast Pirates Bid News

[greenBV4]

Shouldn’t really be an issue when you’ve got the Brisbane/Denver/London broncos or the North Queensland/Dallas cowboys etc?

Argument could be that those are overseas leagues

But then we also have tigers, Bulldogs and (almost) eagles in both the NRL and AFL

As long as they aren't calling themselves "The" Reds and have a location as a differential it should be fine

 

[Pippen94]

Raiders is a synonym for Pirate, already taken. I guess they could use Marauders. That's more intimidating like he hoped the name could be. Or could be return of the Reds name and jersey. Or could be a whole new name, something WA-related?

Reds are a failed brand.

 

[Brian potter]

Teams sharing a name in the same Australian sporting market is more an issue and probably not ideal, compared to different leagues in different countries. But Richmond Tigers and Wests Tigers don't have an issue.

can’t remember there being an issue when the western reds existed alongside the queensland reds?

Worse/weirder tho, in the QLD Cup you have both Wynnum-Manly and Tweed Heads sharing the Seagulls name without issue. I can't think of a league in the world where teams within the league share the same name.

haha!!
that is weird.

Agree. Exanple....Gold Coast Giants to Gold Coast-Tweed Heads Seagulls to Gold Coast Chargers to Gold Coast Titans. All different organizations, corp entities. So I'd assune the next Perth bid will be a whole new corp entity and thus would seek a new identity, name, colors.

 

[xe_kilroy]

West Coast Marauders then

Yep. That's what pirate group said

Shouldn’t be. There was a bid called Brisbane Bombers so if that wasn’t squashed I’m not sure if QLD Reds would have much of a case trying to stop the use of Reds. They’ve co-existed in the 90s previously too.

Just last year you also had the Wests Magpies and Wenty Magpies in the NSWRL KOE.

Agreed. Pirates is a ridiculous name. And yes it should be a stand alone club.

Agreed the Perf RedBears

Im not exactly sure thats right, yes there is a fremantle roosters, but being sponsored by western union back a few decades ago... and Sydney roosters also being sponsored by Western union... kinda have to bs on that one..
Most of the fremantle roosters gear ive seen has cash converters, but thats all recently tho

Recently, yes, but back in the last of the heavy cotton footy jersey days (early 2000's) Freo Roosters also had Western Union as a major sponsor.

I've been in and around local WA League since 1993. You might have to trust me on this one!

*Edit: If you zoom in on the fella's right hand, just behind it you can partially see the old WARL badge (logo attached below).

Haha! True. I did this as a piss-take months ago when NthSydney were pumping themselves up as the best chance for Perth.

Have a little blue jet dive bombing it and you have a perfect logo for the West Coast North Sydney Newtown “Red Pirate Jet Bears”
