Source is a printing factory....?
Can we get some kind of outside link plz
hope it's only rumour, because that's a horrible name
i was hoping for marlins, stingrays or sharks
power and dockers are bad enough
edit: why isn't it (.com.au)? it only has (.com)
I agree. I hope the rumour isn't true - but fear it is.It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest as Gold Coast Suns is a terrible name...
Good call - I posted this suggestion about a year ago, but with no support....Of course i'm a big fan of the Gold Coast Olympians as there is no better name for a side that is competing for fans against the Gold Coast Titans.

For those not totally brushed up on Greek mythology, the younger gods, or Olympians, led by the thunderbolt thrower, Zeus (the Roman equivalent was Jupiter) totally crushed the elder gods, or the Titans, led by Cronos, and banished them into a cavity below Tartarus, a deep sunless abyss, as far below Hades as earth is below heaven.
CONFIRMED
Suns to shine on Gold Coast Football Club
Nick Smart | July 15th, 2010
THE Gold Coast Football Club will be known as the Suns.
Senior figures at league headquarters in Melbourne last night confirmed the new moniker for the club that enters the AFL competition next year.
The club previously opted to not go with a nickname and will still be known as the Gold Coast Football Club. Its bold GC logo will remain, albeit with a sun, believed to be rising behind it.
The Gold Coast is a very powerful brand in itself and the club still plans to tap in to that broad appeal.
GCFC boss Travis Auld would neither confirm nor deny the speculation but said the search for a nickname for the club had been lengthy.
"There have certainly been a lot of names thrown around and that (the Suns) has been one of them," he said.
Have your say on the feedback form below
"There are certainly legalities associated with choosing a name and that part is a rigorous process in terms of finding out what is available.
"It has been an exciting, fun process ... but we can only have one name.
"We have had a lot of great feedback and I think we have been able to encapsulate what people are looking for."
There have been concerns about whether Suns, which is trademarked to Phoenix NBA team, could be used.
If an agreement was not reached, the club strongly considered going with 'Sons' in a bid to sidestep the problem.
The Suns is the former name of the Townsville NBL basketball team, which in 1998 changed its name to the Crocodiles after a dispute with the Phoenix franchise.
But the GCFC play a different sport as well as being in a different country.
Yesterday, it was revealed the AFL had registered domain name goldcoastsuns.com.au
Pathetic end to a pathetic saga.
The public spoke, the club ignored them, and went for an unoriginal uninspiring plastic moniker to go with their plastic franchise.
I'm out. I have to work out how to get off their mailing list now.
grow up.
