We are known as The Tigers, so why the problem in making the 'Tigers' more prominent. We had a big debate about the music that the team come out onto the pitch with, a large number wanted 'Tiger Rag' but thankfully we've gone back to 'Eye of the Tiger'. I just don't see the problem, its not a though the 'Tigers' as been just plucked out of the air, like the 'Dragons'.
more prominent? what to the extent that we change our name to Hull Tigers from Hull City - unbelievable.
Because the club is Hull City and has been since 1904, and the Tigers is our nickname. There is no reason to alter either of them. And the sooner we get 'Tiger Rag' back the better it will be. A proper old piece of music not some ironic cheesy 80s pop trash.
Hull City is fine, the Tigers is fine, being promoted as Hull City Tigers outside the UK is utterly pointless, but not the end of the world, but changing our name to Hull Tigers is ****ing embarrassing and anyone who can't see that needs to give their head a shake.
Lol, Wolverhampton Wolves, Leeds Peacocks, Everton Toffee, Leicester ****wits....nah it'll never catch on
I've given my head a shake, Hull City Tigers still sounds good to me. It's not like we're playing in red....
New Era make **** hats, America have their heritage, we have ours. Anyone who can't see the difference, isn't worth talking to.
The Tottenham Cocks? The Sperz don't feel the need to ditch the untrendy Hotspur, do they? Perhaps they value their heritage.....
To whoever made the point about hats, I would never buy a hat with a tiger on it. A 5 or 10 year old maybe... Our club logo would have to change drastically before we could sell merchandise as fashion like NY IMO, as would our league positions and stature within the game.
Too true. Specially about new era caps. They belong in the Bronx and nowhere else. Without wanting to sound racist at all they look good on black people with that baggy hip hop kind of style, but these white lads you see in them just look like chavvy little gangster wannabe ***gots.
Manchester Red Devils anyone? Hull City Tigers is bad enough but we're talking Hull Tigers here? The last time I heard that phrase being uttered, it came from the lips of that ****wit David LLoyd when he referred to us as that along with Hull Sharks - in his case he had a reason for calling us that - he was a ****ing idiot who knew nowt and cared less about football as we later found out.
People in Asia, Africa like Man Utd, Barca, Liverpool and the like is becuase they win stuff not because of their name. There's no point chasing the foreign fans at the minute, because it won't come to su without success. I bet after all that crap Cardiff went through last summer, they've got sod all fans in South East Asia. I hate franchises.
**** it, lets move to Melton and become 'The Mowbrays' - I mean, it's still our club and we'd play in black and amber. Actually, lets play in green. I mean, it's still our club, what difference does it make? Why not play hockey instead? That has more commercial appeal in North America, I mean...
would not care as long as there is a team to go watch on a weekend in whichever division ... if it brings in revenue then all the better
