GWS Giants

[Sebastian Balboa]

New Sydney Wolves

i've been saying this for years *


* well, since they announced a new team there...

 

[Rookie]

New Sydney Wolves

NSW FC. New Sydney Wolves.

Hmm. I like.

I think the boat might have already left on this one, the "greater" is here to stay.

And what about in 2034 when Newcastle or another part of Sydney want to join? Suddenly "New" isn't quite so new any more.

What about the GWS Meh..

"Who are you playing this weekend?"

"Meh"

Meh

I don't understand why people are saying Wolves is the logical choice...how many wolves are there in western sydney?

Bags not going out there to find out.

 

[ChrisFooty]

Greater Western Sydney Octopuses.

 

[moses]

Western Sydney Crabs?!!!!!

There is a Crabs playing in the SAAFL in Adelaide.

Maybe GWS could pinch the logo ;-)

Why do they have "greater", thats terrible for marketing.

As for the name, then why not the pirates?

Western Sydney Pirates?

Its highly marketable, has a renowned universal logo, skull and bones, would look gangster and suit the area..

AFL is dumb is dumb.

Western Sydney Pirates.

Giants is just no. Terrible. Wolves is well, even worse.

Pirates will appeal to the masses, is different, has no geographical location and would really add another marketing dimension to the club.

Kids will love it, wannabe gangsters will love it and people around the area will be drawn to the concept of being pirates in the AFL trying to steal the premiership, it just works on so many levels.

Pirates: already claimed by West Harbour RFC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Harbour_RFC). The Sydney ABC broadcast Shute Shield rugby every Saturday arvo.

How 'bout Sydney Irish (London Irish)? Get rid of 'GWS'. Let them have green uniforms and celebrate the convicts who were put to work in the colonial farms of western Sydney.

I think everyone's lost sight of the fact the "Greater" part of the new team in Sydney is merely the BID TEAM'S name, not necessarily what the AFL team's name will be. I seriously doubt "Greater" would make it as part of the footy team's name.

Like GC17, alot of posters were thinking that THAT was the new AFL team's name, when it was merely the Gold Coast's bid team's name.

Thank you

New Sydney Wolves

Cause there's something wrong with the current "old" Sydney team so they need replacing? I'd be offened if I was a Swans supporter.

Or is there some "New Sydney" place I haven't heard of?

The NSW acroynm is clever, but calling any team New is short sighted, and dates quickly.

 

[glenn_ox]

Should be the 'West Sydney Warriors'

Theme song sorted.

 

[rocker_oz33]

l thought it going to be GWS gladiators.

Thereby creating instant dislike between the two clubs, i.e. the genesis of a rivalry begins with their name. Masterstroke!

Or is there some "New Sydney" place I haven't heard of?

forget "New Sydney" as a location 'cos there isn't one; the "New" is referring to the new football team, i.e. the Sydney Wolves are "new".

The NSW acroynm is clever, but calling any team New is short sighted, and dates quickly.

New York, New England, New Zealand, New Caledonia and New South Wales says hi.

The Giants nickname is too American, with the New York Football Giants and the San Francisco Giants (also formerly of New York).

They should look at something more Australian, like Sydney West Swagmen, Sydney West Drovers, or West Sydney Rustlers.

 

[WakeUpPies]

Oh crap I hope we don't get another ridiculous mascot (Freo).

 

[DJ75]

At least the Giants isn't as pointless as Power!
A giant I understand, I'm still trying to figure out what a Power is.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Lol I'm still trying to find a specific location for Western and West Coast

 

[vealesy]

Rangers is definately the best option, by a long way.

Bushrangers would be better, with Ned as the Logo.

 

[PDJohnson]

Won't happen, but West Sydney Webs (as in funnel web spider) would go OK or at least not be another American knock off.

Excellent idea.
West Sydney is the home of the dreaded funnel web spider and the 'web' bit can be incorporated in the jersey design. And it's AUSTRALIAN!!

 

[PDJohnson]

I like the Jets. NSW Jets?

They should save green for the Tassie team which will hopefully join the comp around 2020.

Jets is too close to the Bombers.

Western Sydney Webs? Just make it the Western Sydney Internets and be done with it...

 

[Stovex0r]

It's gotta be either the West Sydney Sausages or the West Sydney Fighting Mongooses.

 

[cap304]

If they were going to go with an association to the area,then Rangers or Stallions seems more appropriate.
Not sure how these would be seen in a marketing perspective.
