Time to change part of my sig I think! I'm feckin' delighted with the news

They said they are bringing back the Devil not the Devil Duck

Can only add to what others have said, gives us our identity back. Will be great to hear us referred to again as the Red Devils.

hopefully there will be a new logo.

This rebranding is a big step and I think the club should consider appointing professional marketing consultants and a leading graphic designer.

I’m sure quite a few of us could knock a few designs up on our PC’s, as I’m sure the club could, but it needs a professional touch.

It will be interesting to see if the fans bar and supporters shop gets renamed.

Welcome to the Hell Hole!! . . . Perhaps we will get a new mascot Dev the Devil (We could hire the guy off Corrie) . . . and I predict that inflatable pitchforks are the future in Salford.

get another summer like last year and anything inflatable will be the future

A new website is currently in production from what I've heard. I'd imagine they will wait until next season to launch it alongside the rebranding.

Koukash confirmed there will be a brand new standout red devil logo on the shirts next year.

Unfortunately the fans bar and club shop do not belong to us so that would prove difficult. However, goods in the shop and some things on the wall in the fans bar are achievable

Let's hope the devil doesn't resemble Neville.



Yes I'm sure they could put up some temporary signage on matchdays.

How about 13 full backs? First one back in position takes the number 1 role whilst the other 12 form the defensive line.

Wrong thread.

Yes. It's bitter bullsh*t. I think the vast majority of Salford supporting blues will be quite happy, or at the very least non-plussed with the change.



Just another mark on the "LeagueFreak is a bellend" sheet, then. Hope he gets shafted somehow.



I think the SMC and those who currently own the stadium naming rights may have something to say about that.

Cyber Squatting is frowned upon these days and League Freak could easily find himself in court...

As an IT professional, I can confirm that he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

A new cheerleading team named the Horny Devils would create more male interest.

I look forward to future developments, then.

Be careful there or you'll have Red "PC" Preacher boring the pants off us telling us that it's 2013.

I heard a while ago that if someone registers a domain name for a company or organisation they have no association with, they can be made by law to transfer it without any financial reimbursement.



I was wondering to myself how long it would actually take before an 'ism' patrollor played a do-gooder card from the moral high ground deck. But thanks for the warning.

Correct.

Yes LeagueFreak appears to have purchased our new club domain for us, how generous!

The real Red Devils from Greater Manchester get to have their heritage nickname as part of their club, I'm pleased for you. It's a shame those plagiarising ba$tard$ from Stretford in the other sport pinched it from you and ran it as if it were their own for decades. The sad thing is I wonder if the nation know about [iles diables rouges[/i and whether they just think you're copying them lot?

[url=http://blog.salfordredsheritage.org.uk/post/10974898741/how-manchester-united-also-became-known-as-the-redThat may not be true[/url. But Salford certainly had the nickname before United.

I remember going to a Manchester United tour at Old Trafford back in 2000 just after Utd won their second European Cup (I went mainly to view the champions league trophy) we were taken out onto the pitch and were told the history of Utd's Red Devils moniker, Utd's tour guide said it was actually supporters that started the nickname off for Utd, as they attended both Salford and Utd games u'd see Salford fans attending Utd games. Something which caught Busbys eye before the game was a young child with the the Red Devils knitted onto an homemade scarf, he went over to the child and his farther and asked " nice scarf son who are the Red Devils" the farther replied its Salford rugby clubs nickname their the Red Devils. Busby replied "cracking little nickname I'm impressed with that" apparently you'd start seeing scarfs being sold at old Trafford with the Red Devils on and eventually a devil was introduced into the clubs crest the season after. I think it was brilliant story and the guy who was heading the tour said he was told by busby himself when he was at the club under an club ambassador role.

As lovely as this story is, it, like most attributed to Busby and the ‘Red Devils’ name, is probably an urban legend. The most far out story I’ve heard yet is that United earned the nickname ‘A Voros Ordogok’ on tour in Hungary, which sounds remarkably similar to how Salford got the name. Misappropriation, perhaps? (Although at least one RL historian reckons Lance Todd fabricated the nickname prior to the French tour for promotional purposes.)

Busby was very proud of the ‘Babes’ moniker, making few if any references to the ‘Red Devils’, even in his memoirs. He wasn’t known as a rugby fan, nor was he known for savvy marketing ploys. The first time Manchester United made reference to the Red Devils was for a souvenir brochure during the 1956–57 season; the nickname is also mentioned in newspaper reports at the same time.

I have a hunch this is more likely:



But it’s nothing more than a hunch at the moment.
