Well, at last DB thinks we are important enough to be consulted on something...the new mascot's name. How about Narcissus!

Rowls

How about Shandy .

Parky leopard.

Lammy

This thread reveals the reason why we are not consulted!

Bongser was thinking Leonard the Leopard, but now wonders (in this inclusive age, this IMG box ticking age) why not "Lynda"?

We all know someone of the same name that does sterling work for the club and the fans!

must av took all of 3 secs come up with leopards.

everyone knows lenny was a lion !

What about Lemmy - in tribute to the Motorhead front man. We can rebrand as The Leigh Lemmings with Lemmy the Lemming as the mascot.

The reason for this thread is because DB only thinks the fans are important enough to name a mascot that was inspired by that intellectual programme The Masked Singer. Traditional colours, new name, kit design, match days, were done deals and stuff the fans but hey, you can help us name the Jaguar lol. It shows the esteem the ordinary fans are held in after supporting them through thick and thin. Hence the daft comments.

If you put these things on social media, there is nothing stopping rival fans from hijacking the vote. Boaty McBoatface was a prime example. If you want to call it RRS Sir David Attenborough then don't ask the general public, (or else you end up with Brexit or something equally crazy).

If Deggsy went to a local school and asked the kids for a mascot name, that would be more market research than went into Leigh Leopards.

Jerry the Jaguar, after all thats what it is.

Got to be Def.

After a club legend for me, Woody, Dessie, Murph?

Dessie for me

Choices are Leo/LeighO/Lilford/Lenny/Lobby/Leyther. Can't say I am happy with any of the choices.

Wow with that many posts in 5yrs of being on here I'm surprised you've not been more unhappy in that period.

I'll tell you what I won't bother posting if that's the kind of reply you get, I simply put on the information I had received followed by my feeling on the names mentioned. No wonder people don't bother using this forum anymore.

Thanks for the info Atherleigh.
If it’s one of those, I’d go with Leyther. Like it or not (and I’m ok with the rebrand, mascot etc) the Leopard is now part of the club, so he may as well truly represent us supporters in name.

VL I agree 100%,leyther gets my vote .

VL they are indeed the official names put forward by the club for fans to vote on, I recieved the email yesterday to select my favourite.

Thanks AL.
Leyther is the only one that resonates for me.

I too was a victim of the posting police , like yourself i wasn’t aware of opinions only counting after X number of posts.

Never thought of that one lol
But I like def leopard or Dessie leopard me
None of the names they narrowed it down to are very good
