| Distinctly underwhelmed by the whole thing. 'king horrible plain shirt - might as well get a plain black polo shirt. Still I suppose that if you give the kit to a firm that makes kit for cricket (wonder what the connection there is), that is what you get. Can't believe that the club have invested time and money on this idiotic "rebranding". It in itself will make negligible difference to the attendance figures, unless the team starts winning and then it will take 2 or 3 years of success to get into the London sporting psyche. Hopefully with the squad for next year this is going to happen, but I am sure Salford fans were thinking the same way this time last year.
Still absolutely beggars belief that the website is not ready - what the hell have they been doing for the last few weeks!
Of course if we do have a successful season I can just see the prison warden saying that it was all down to the "rebrand" not the fact that the quality on the pitch is significantly improved.

| Brilliant post Paddock, sums up my feelings too. My interest in this club is significantly waning because of how it is being run. Chop and change. False dawns and false promises. Terrible management. Such a shame as the squad is looking promising.

| Have to agree too. Never much cared for the Broncos as a name first time around. If we had to rebrand, surely a new name rather than a failed name would have been better.
Had high hopes for the kit, but there is nothing distinctive about it.
Had an e-mail from the club, which is in a bizarre shade of gray. Hardly inspiring.
Altogether completely underwhelming and a total anti-climax

| Sorry PP and DL, I can`t relate to all the doom and gloom comments. Like it or not the Quins brand did not work for us , probably for a multitude of reasons that we know little about………would have been great had it worked but that is now history and you need to put it behind you.
I have no strong feelings towards the London Broncos name (it`s as good as any), but if that is what the main man wants who has pumped millions of pounds into this club over the years, then he is more than entitled to have his way. The kits a bit plain at present, but at least I will be able to travel to the match without looking like a TV test card.
Ever since I can remember there has been a constant complaint on this site that we do not market the club, whether you like it or not the re-launch seems to be kick starting the marketing process and at least DH, Gus and team seem to be putting the effort in. Ok the web site still needs work but is the re-launch really the disaster you make it out to be?
What was the alternative, we sit forever in the shadow of Quins RU, struggle to be recognised and fail to attract new investment/sponsorship until we quietly slip away?
No point in clinging onto what might have been, we have been terrible on the pitch for the past few seasons and I for one am looking forward to a promising 2012 season with what looks like the strongest side we had for many a year.

| Good 10 min feature on the rebrand on Talk Sport at lunchtime with H&J and Offiah. Im delighted with the change. I dont understand how any RL fan could have been happy sharing a name with a union club.

Pretty much sums up my own feelings. Basically, we've heard it all before. If it all takes a turn for the better this time, it'll be despite all this "rebranding", not because of it. The more times we change our identity, the weaker the identity becomes. No more season tickets for me. I'll be going to the international double header at Wembley next Saturday, but for the club that regenerates more often than Doctor Who it'll just be the occasional visit from now on if I've got nothing else to do. I like the game, but my attachment to this particular club has receded rapidly over the last couple of seasons.

| We will always know who the professional whiners! are here, they are Never going to change, so its no use worrying about it, we have to make this fresh start, the past is now the past, we all know that in these next three seasons we have to make it work, if it does not this timem is there going to be a future?
So I just Hope that the majority of us will get behind the club, going to a shirt provider not being in rugby league perhaps we should not have accepted anything special, but with sponsors names on it may change it, St Helens have a total of one major Typhoo and Five others on their new shirt, arms, collar and two on .
The season ticket offer is good, the Cowgirls, the mascots, lets get behind it and give it a chance, we seem to have some Good Players.

Am looking forward to buying my first new shirt since the last Broncos one - but I'm going to wait and see who the sponsor is, don't want to wear a shirt with a dodgy sponsors name on it.

| Decent looking kit. Yes, it looks plain but like previous years the club will be working (hopefully) towards getting at least 2 or 3 sponsors on the shirt. However, it doesn't really look like a Rugby League shirt, I don't really know why but it doesn't.
How people can moan about the on the pitch stuff months after a game has been played and months before the next one is scheduled is beyond me. If anything, the quality of the signings on paper for 2012 is far better than in previous years.
Gower has masses of experience, has won an NRL trophy and is an experienced head in a notoriously young side. Robertson and Rodney will be riding the crest of a wave after winning the NRL last month and have something about them if they were both played in the Grand Final. Michael Witt made the Crusaders tick and scored near enough 175 points in 40 games for them in two years. Antonio Kaufasi has been part of two Grand Final appearing Melbourne sides, Rinaldi is returning to London, Colbon and Cook are still a good age and well, Hickey will keep Greggs' across London running.
Compare those signings with the likes of Ryan Esders, Ben Kaye, Matt Gardner, Mick Nanyn, David Tootill and Joe Walsh's of the past few years and the on the pitch side of things looks more positive than ever.

Dump a couple of sponsors on there and it will.

| Nobody as far as I can see is complaining or moaning about the squad. If we had the same sort of squad as the last few years the rebrand would not make a blind bit of difference. Now there is a distinct possibility that we have a competitive team and people will claim that it is result of (in my opinion) a complete waste of time and money going back to an old name.
UTS can you give me any other reason that the Quins thing didn't work other than for most of the time the team were crap.

| As for the professional whiners comment, I would love not be able to complain but there is a constant stream of ammunition. There is no point going over why I, and others, think this is a farce, it has been done to death and won't change anything. I'm pleased some people are happy at least.

| Under the sticks. It is your type of attitude that winds me up the most. David Hughes can do whatever he likes, and who are we to dispute it? I'm sorry but I can't have that. The club should belong to the supporters. I would rather the club fold without him than go on like it is doing. I have no problems with him for what its worth, I just disagree with his decisions and will not simply bow down to him because he is the one chucking the cash in.
