Does Hull City AFC still exist?

"Reading" through the Trencin programme, I obviously, and rather disappointingly, noticed we were referred to as "Hull City Tigers". It got me wondering where we are actually known as "Hull City AFC".

Our playing name registered with the FA is "Hull City".

Our business name is "Hull City Tigers".

Yet UEFA referred to as "Hull City AFC".

Basically I've no idea what's going on, without getting bogged down in another name change debate, what is our current name and where does Hull City AFC get used?

 

Simples

 

I have seen some club corporate literature given to those flying to Slovakia with the club.

It refers to 'Hull City' and 'HCFC'.

 

Confusingly, club officials quite proudly state that it either hasn't been AFC for several years or never was, depending on which one you speak to.

 

We must be the only team in professional football who have owners that find the club name so embarrassing that they'd do anything, no matter how petty, not to use it.

 

But they do use it

On their own internal literature!

 

And on the shirt Assem wore in Zilnia.

 

Is there any truth in the nameless badge thing that it had to be submitted before the decision was made hence the lack of a name?

 

Not up to date on das latest but I thought, from previous reading, we were entering a period of détente?

 

Just one or two name change bottom-feeders and lickers stirring the waters.

 

Ah, the idiot vanguard.

 

One or two of their usual 'big hitters' yet to show.......

 

Agreed, but for some reason they do. I most recently heard it from James Mooney at the FWG meeting.

That's what the club said at the recent meeting, yes. But it was questioned by a guy who has experience of working with sports manufacturers. Can't remember the details but the guy wasn't convinced.

 

This is certain to avoid that!

 

Aren't we in the Europa Cup?

 

It also is worth making the point that when the fixtures came out the club were putting Hull City Tigers as the headline. They were pretty soon told to get it changed to HULL CITY.
