I couldn't give a **** how valid your incorrect opinions are mate - I don't spend all day worrying about how 'valid' something is. I think you're talking out of your arse, is that valid?

No, not really, it's just abuse. The last bastion of the fool who has run out of valid arguments.

For what it's worth, I think if that badge had the current tiger on it'd be better than what we have now.

Though saying that, I think having just the tiger's head on the shirts would look better. Though obviously now would be a dodgy time to change it.

Nothing to do with the Allams. As I've said before, I would rather they didn't change the name, but...........I just don't see it as that important if they do. It'll still be the same club, the same team, the same grounds, the same manager and mostly the same supporters. Why is it such an issue?

Why do some so called fans feel they have the right to call me a "plastic" just because I care more about the club then I do about the name. Probably the same people who think that "new" fans are "plastics" as well. Pretty short sighted view in my opinion, but each to their own.

If you don't care about name changes, you shouldn't really be bothered if people start calling you TygerPlastic.
 
Personally, I wouldn't actively seek this (or any) name change.

However, to be fair, beyond Goole Bridge everybody just calls us "Hull" anyway. Within Hull, everybody calls us "City" or "The Tigers" - that won't change. There are loads of City's, we are always going to be known as "Hull" to everybody else, unless perhaps we went more with the "Tigers" part to become a little more recognisable.

If there was a vote, i'd vote against changing our name - but if it is just a marketing tool, I think it could be slightly beneficial for us.

see what happens when you type in www.hullcitytigers.com, that my friends is a stealth re-brand not a gimmick or pet name. Why would they register the ISP otherwise???

As someone who works in online marketing this says it all for me. It's a re-directed link meaning they have bought the domain name and are already re-directing the page. This is what major brands do before shifting to a brand new website. Can't say I'm happy with this.
 
at the end of the day if allams plan goes tits up its his money he loses . he the business man me the supporter for life wotever name .:emoticon-0116-evilg

They have been given a massive arsenal of ammo to use against every single cITY supporter now.

'The club that changed its name. The first club to sell its soul and identity. The first club to adopt a twee silly non traditional name thus forfeiting 109 years of history and heritage. The first club to name itself after animals like some team in some micky mouse colonial competition. An utter unequivocal laughing stock and a monumental gaffe that will haunt us for decades whether it is subsequently reversed or not.'

Were not a laughing stock noone gives a **** about us. They call us Hull all the time for one thing. And as a silly **** who bangs on, correct peoples posts about Hull City AFC to HCFC. Give it a ****ing rest.

We dont have a great heritage or history its ****. Over 100 years of mediocre ****e.
We have a great stadium that called the KC Stadium yet all the uber cool Ambernectar lot insist on calling it the Circle.
Nothing bad will happen wth this name change, absolutely **** all bad. But, they're trying to see if they can make some money out of it. Let them or **** off.
 
there isn't much debate in this thread at the minute just people casting assumptions that to have one opinion gets you pidgeon holed


My question on the name change is this , why precisely could it be bad for the club ?

I dont like Hull Tigers , tho i could accept Hull City Tigers b - or hyphen the Hull-City for me .

the reasons im not too bothered are simple i call my Club City to anyone who knows that im taking about Hull Tigers

So to me its not a drastic change .

As for history , our club , colours , ground name , badge have gone through various changes and all seem either accepted and sometimes applauded

This Stripes one season and plain shirts the next - i mean really what is that if not only a half arsed marketing ploy

Shouldn't people waving flags at the news that re-branding a club can be fraught with danger - challenge the fact that

we swap our Kit design every other season leaving anyone outside the club clueless as to what the team actually looks like !
 
If it works why haven't we got Manchester United devils?? Man city spent a fortune and didn't crack Asia. Man U cracked it because they win the prem league etc and buy world class players. People want to support the best teams and buy their merchandise because they have the best players not because of their name bollocks.
So buy better players finish higher in the league and you'll pick up more interest
 
Nick Thompson just confirmed we are not changing the name of the club. Hull City Tigers is the business-side.
