Michael W Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sounds like Pro Evo 4 has come to life. Everton to follow this and become Merseyside Blue within the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Guess there might a bit of an influence from rugby league going on there, given that's traditionally been the top sport there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Haven't played that for years, what are Villa called? I'm sure they were West Midlands Village last time I played it. Embarassing stuff from Hull here. A step towards franchise football for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 "Let's go Tigers, let's go!" What a joke, I would be raging if I was a fan. Keep these shit names for American sports please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGer Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 A Cardiff City fan paid £12.99 a few months ago to register the company names 'Cardiff City Dragons' and 'Cardiff Dragons' online. I'm pretty sure the thought would've crossed the owners minds at some point. The lads either sitting on a decent amount of cash or he'll put the owners off the rebranding, at least to those particular names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I still remember when Derby County in a bid to look modern started calling themselves Derby County Rams without officially changing their name with the FA. At press conferences, it would be Derby County Rams this & Derby County Rams that. They dropped it when they realised they were still going to be shit hasbeens & real changes rather than cosmetic were required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 York City rebranded themselves as "York City Soccer Club" for a while, to appeal to the American market. I don't think it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 York City rebranded themselves as "York City Soccer Club" for a while, to appeal to the American market. I don't think it worked. Should've went for "York City Viking" IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 York City rebranded themselves as "York City Soccer Club" for a while, to appeal to the American market. I don't think it worked. Rotherham or somebody changed the name of their stadium to "New York Stadium" in a similar idea. Reminds me of the Arctic Monkeys lyric " You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham" .

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think, in fairness, there is an area of Rotherham called New York, which the stadium is named after. I quite fancy tucking into a nice Kit Kat Crescent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supras Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Fans reactions to these are absolutely hilarious, it was the same when it came to Cardiff changed their colours or some teams changed their stadium names to sponsors. Can't say I'd be especially bothered about any of it, the team is what you think it is. Everything else is just filler, and generating extra revenue.
