http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/socce...-city-name-even-more-powerful-200430166.html? So, as someone with a degree in marketing, I've put together a list of far better options that Allam can peruse. I will even let him use the one that he likes most absolutely free of charge. Because, well, that's just the kind of guy I am. Here they are... -Hull Sharknados: Powerful, topical, to the point. -Hull Mosquitos: Yes, they're small, but they kill far more people than Tigers. -Hull Humans: (See above). Also, you can target every single person on the planet as a potential fan this way. -Hull Sex: The one undeniable fact of marketing is that sex sells. So why not take this statement as literally as possible and name the club "Sex"? That's right, not one good reason not to. -Huuuuuu: You want a short name? How about a one-syllable guttural moan? Crosses language barriers and the drunks and food poisoned will always be talking about you. -Hull Fridays: Sheffield Wednesday had a good idea in nailing down a day of the week, but it was ultimately a missed opportunity. Everyone loves Fridays. And if you really want to go nuts? Hull Saturdays. -Manchester United: It's no secret that Manchester United are one of the most marketable brands in the Premier League. Steal their name. -Hull Spider-Mans: Comic book characters are the biggest things in movies and it's time football clubs started capitalizing on this. -Hull Boobs: A more subtle play on the "sex sells" angle. -Hull Bulges: (See above). -Hull City Association Football Club: People are always talking about "football hipsters" so that must mean they're an important, growing market. And there's nothing hipsters love more than irony. Change the name back to Hull City AFC, but in a kind of sarcastic way so everyone knows that you're giving the club a common, retro name as sort of a joke, but also not. When people get what you're doing, they'll feel really good about themselves and lord it over others, who will then adopt it themselves in the hope of getting in on that action.
Nick Thompson: That's a great idea, Mr Bruce, Sir. Don't do it for a few days. Give me a chance to deny it first.
Indeed, changing back 2014/15 (blimey those dates scare me) .. will our owners LISTEN to OUR fans? i can't see it
what does nick thompson actually do? He looks like the pervert that used to live down my street years ago
I agree they are aiming for that, but maybe we should all give this name a test drive? The truth is that if the fans still overwhelmingly hate it after a season the Allams will probably back down.
Poor old Manchester City. They may be a champions league club. They may have won trophies in recent years and have a good tradition but with a name like City in their title when it comes to helping a dodgy trader in Phuket sell a counterfeit shirt, well Manchester City are hopeless.
When he was recruited, the statement said he would help with some ****e or another, not sure he's done anything? Give the job to me, i'll listen to you beautiful fans although with the dictator in charge, i'd probably be waterboarded under the west stand
What the traditionalists don't like on here is the appathy. They want "the fans" to agree with their opinion. At best, the decision has "divided" the fans. This is why there are so many arguments going on. It may not be the "greatest" idea since slice bread, but really there is far much more wrong with the world than what name appears on some marketing bumph.
on that basis, who gives a **** if we lose or not.. theirs some starving kids in the world.. get a grip! my first impression when i saw your first ever post, i thought he seems a top lad, i went away for a few days, and you're just a pillock..
Nah, i've been reliably informed that this is it. N.b. It might be a prototype please log in to view this image
