What name should Gold Coast Adopt?

[rugged]

Can't be bothered reading 5 pages, has anyone said

Gold Coast HEAT

yet?

 

[Matt23]

Yep, TBA already posted "insert American franchise name here"

 

[Kaz]

Gold Coast Mubcrabs

or my personal favourite

Gold Coast Prawns (They will stink like prawns after a few rounds) :lol:

 

[_Johnsy]

Gold Coast Griffins or ( GC Gargoyles), great merchandising opportunity there.

 

[incredible_holc]

ok
Gold Coast Marlins
Gold Coast Boarders
Gold Coast Dumpers
Gold Coast Snapper

Marlins is the best

 

[Kingytek]

Whats a Marlin?

 

[t-ba]

Southport Wombats :lol:

 

[Southern Rooster]

The Gold Coast Lorikeets. It's Australian and Lorikeets are synonymous with the Gold Coast and especially Currumbin.

 

[Trollhammaren]

All those names are terrible IMO. All these American sporting teams names in our codes is too much!

The Seagulls were the best name for GC! Can they still be called that?

The Gold Coast Plague?

 

[ash the bash]

Seagulls arnt that bad,
although i think marlins are okay

The Gold Sharks still has a nice ring to it.

Failing that, something more local would do.
The area used to be called Umbigumbi in the north and Kurrungul in the south by the Gombemberri people.

The Gold Coast Gombemberries is probably a mouthful though. ;-)

You have to think of something marketable people! Nearly everything said is dog shit. Griffons was interesting and would make a striking logo and merchandise. I still think Gladiators is great, someone said they could use a logo Similar to the Valleys Diehards logo. Seems like a good idea.

I can't really think of any thing else I like. Bushrangers maybe? Pirates? I can see the skull and cross bones being flone in the crowds already. :lol: Dolphins is beautiful but that's Redcliffe already and you dont want to be cutting their lunch.

Titans and Giants are also cool.

Gladiators (what better mascot to represent rugby league?)
Giants
Bushrangers
Pirates
Buccaneers
Titans
Wildcards
Griffons

If it's not to be the Gold Coast Sharks then the Gold Coast Dolphins would be nice. 8)

ROFLMAO.

Gladiators is a sh*t American Sounding Name. Must Queensland Be Engendered with the Pathetic NFL wannabe club names?

 

[Bengal]

Gold Coast Dream(ers)

 

[incredible_holc]

a marlin

can grow up to 700-800+ i think and reach speeds of 90kms +

 

[incredible_holc]

mods feel free to delete the big pic, i just though it showed the possible size of a marlin well

If you didnt realise Gladiators are from ancient Rome not the friggin NFL. So are we supposed to write off every thing because the NFL/MBL/NBA might have a similiar team?

Well we had better rename the overwhelming majority of our clubs buddy.

I think the only cause to protest is when we use americanised terms instead of celebrating our own culture. A prime and disgraceful example is the use of the Broncos instead of Brumbies and Cowboys instead of Bushrangers.

A name like the gladiators is infinitely preferable to some light weight girlie name like "The Waves" "The Heat" "The Seagulls" "The Breakers"

This is rugby league gentlemen, we need names with balls and marketablity. And what better name to represent the sport of Gladiators, Rugby League?

 

[Big Panther Cool]

Gold Coast Roosters.....................

 

[Crippler]

I like the Sound of

Gold Coast Dolphins and Marlins

has to be some sort of sea fish/mammal as when i think of gold coast i think of seaside, the beach and sea world.
