[QUOTE="will311293, post: 900189, member: 73664"] Bears isn't that bad.... We are Wasps, we stink you just because we are D**ks and then we blame it on the Bees. But seriously its an interesting preference to give all Prem teams official Logos/Mascots/Names that the US can get behind. I suppose with the new rebrand of the Prem for US based Gallagher, they want to draw similarities between the Prem teams and the NFL style names especially with the want to attract US broadcasters. I do worry that the clubs may start to move a Franchise style development too. Its less likely to happen in the UK due to size but still a concern. Also for note, the Athletics is the least inspiring name possible :eek:. At uni we used to have the 'Southern Fairys' and 'Cheeky Ladies' but at least they had character! Also 'Southern Fairy's I have just realised sounds like the 'Bristol Bears' feeder club :oops:. [/QUOTE]
