Apparently shirts are already produced and being held by Isc. Luckily club hadn't paid for them yet so they weren't delivered, meaning administrator couldnt sell them off in his mega sale. Problem might be if some of current sponsors who appear on shirt dont want to continue with new entity.

I can see there may be an opportunity to tweak or refresh the brand somehow, but I don't think going back to Northern achieves much. If the early superleague debacle of Halifax blue sox shows anything, it's that you create a huge rod for your own back with a moniker that is intrinsically hard to market.

Bulls please

More to the point, would the new owners not wish to re-negotiate a better deal with anyone else, especially as they are not likely to receive any financial gain from a sponsorship that paid up before the administration?

Depends on how badly they want to screw over any possibility of future relations with the smattering of rugby league potential sponsors that still exist, and that had been prepared to pay us money in the past, I suppose.



I don't imagine there's a huge queue of virgin sponsors at the gate, with chequebooks.

I guess they could sell us some little 'iron on', solid black stickers, for just a few pence....or so!

need to come up with a tacky tagline to put one them. Bullieve 2 maybe

Or I'll Bullieve anything, perhaps?

I'll Bullieve it when I see it

This a no-brainer question.



Bulls is by far the name associated with the modern game.



I'm well over 40 and still have my lucky Bradford Northern scarf.



The answer is simple;



THE NORTHERN BULLS



Take Bradford out of the title and you immediately attract a wider audience

(Like Radio Leeds did with their unsuccessful and misleading "West Yorkshire Sport"icon_wink.gif



The Northern Bulls title could attract fans from all over the North (that are not yet into RL).



Northern can also be interpreted as Northern Hemisphere - remember how many Bulls players have pulled on an England/Scotland/Ireland/Wales/GB shirt.



It could also open up a marketing opportunity for a Southern Bulls side if some rich southerner wants to pay us ££££'s to use the name.



You heard it here first - Our new brand name is The Northern Bulls

We could open a sister club if it went well, the Southern Jessies

Northern Bulls was the name of a South African RU Club before they became the Blue Bulls and I put the Northern Bulls name forward in a post a few years back but it didn't garner much interest!
