Truly, it can be said that the heart of Premier League football is a bluebird.

I thank you, I thank you.

Another sad day for British football.

who the feck do they think they are annis they know sound like a rugby league team or an american ice hockey team it stinks .

In response to comments made following a recent interview, the Club would like to clarify its formal identity.

The business name at Companies House had its ‘Association Football Club’ suffix removed in the spring of this year, leaving the club to be named ‘Hull City Tigers Ltd’. This will now be used in official club statements, regarding any of our commercial operations.

The Tigers brand, with its powerful imagery, will be used in international markets to attract new interest and attention in both Hull and the East Riding from a worldwide audience.

As has always been the case, supporters remain free to refer to the club as they wish, whether that be Hull City, City, Tigers, Black and Amber, or indeed any other variant of the Club’s name. For many, the Club will continue to be known as Hull City, as it has been from its inception.

A new badge, to be used from the 2014/15 season, will be designed and created in consultation with fans over the coming months.

This is bad news indeed. Will just pave the way for other owners to do the same. (especially overseas owners with no long term affinity for the club!)

I bet you we'll be "Cardiff Dragons" by 2018....

On the inside page of their programme last season, it said 'Hull City Tigers'. Quite noticeable!

Silly question, would you rather us be back in blue and re-named? or Cardiff City FC in red?

Scott,
I would rather us be Blue, keep our right name and badge.
I would not be happy unless we kept it all, I know badges get altered but there is altering and stripping it, totally different.

Once they start, there seems no stopping them, would I Swop lower league football for our identity back, YES but that's just me and that's how I feel

I love my club and its hurting still, not getting better, It does not feel the same.

My worry now is that Tan will see this and rename us Cardiff City Dragons

Very worrying Darren, who knows what he will do next.

Their forum is all kicking off with their Re brand! It's similar to ours... refund of season tickets, Boycotts, emails to complain and etc!

They just need a Barry Chuckle to fend off anyone who agrees with the re brand

Annis I think you're being unfair and controversial for the sake of it.

Unless you can tell me different the last statement by Tan on a name change was that it will not happen

As Tan has delivered all he has promissed since the rebrand (assuming he weighs up Sam and turns the debt to equity) I think this is just scaremongering.

Exactly this. Thought he'd be more forgiving to Tan now Scam is back

You are forgiven Sir, but you probably would have been anyway as you have more tanks than me.

Hull's owners lied to them and I wouldn't be surprised if Tan goes back on his word to further rebrand us. Its just a sign of the times and another reason will pop up for Tan to try and justify it. Look at a lot of the top clubs and you'll see either unique names or one word names with no generic ending like United, City, Town.

Arsenal
Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspurs (Hotspurs is unique)
Chelsea
Everton
Aston Villa
Fulham
Sunderland
Southampton

Thats loads of teams with either no extra City, United or so forth. You could argue and rightfully so that you have Manchester United and Manchester City.

How would you feel about us becoming any of the following?

Cardiff FC
Cardiff Bluebirds FC
Cardiff Dragons FC
Cardiff City Dragons FC

Me personally, I would only accept Cardiff FC as i believe a nickname should stay separate to the actual name of a club. A nickname for me can change and is sort of like a slogan for a company 'Just Do It' with Nike for example which can change when the brand image is updated - A name shouldn't really change but 'Cardiff FC' would not bother me as its still just Cardiff and thats fine.

I wouldn't mind our nickname being changed either and 'Cardiff FC' and the nickname 'The Dragons' would not bother me in the slightest and I would come to terms with the change and thats a sign of the times and the way its going as it has done in America and it will eventually follow suit because of how money runs the game.

As long as the club is called 'Cardiff City FC' or 'Cardiff FC' and plays in Cardiff I will support it - colours, nicknames, mottos, slogans and so on can change and be updated but those should be the consistent features to me.

Each to their own I guess but I can see us becoming Cardiff FC in the future and Tan prefixing The Dragons nickname.

This bit cracked me up.......

charon-the-ferryman - I can see our second home game being advertised as Hull Tigers v Cardiff Dragons -you couldn't make it up, but he did.

Don't lose any sleep over the colour change, think the next owner will change it back to blue and it will just be a bad memory but change the name, like that tosser Hamman wanted to do is something else.

I feckin hope so, but unfortunately I'm not as optimistic as you. Fingers crossed though.

read this comment on Hull's FB, regarding the name change for commercial reasons :
"Maybe we'll attract sponsorship from Kellogg's Frosties?"

Keep up at the back please.

OH SHIT---- LADBROOKS HAVE US FAVORITES TO HAVE OUR NAME CHANGED NEXT

I'm a gambling man but I certainly won't be putting a bet on this one.

I don't doubt for a minute that Tan wanted initially to do this to us. Wether it be a name change or the nickname to be the dragons and do away with the bluebird.

At least (for now) he was swayed away from doing this.. We are still Cardiff City, under a different (and stupid) guise. Hull now sound like a MLS team or a rugby team.

We put up one hell of a fight to dissuade him from changing our name.

Tottenham Hotspurs (Hotspurs is unique)
Aston Villa

Spurs were actually formed as Hotspurs FC.

Aston Villa takes its name from the Aston district of Birmingham and from Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel.

Don't forget arsenal was Woolwich arsenal! There is loads of teams who have been re branded over time to suit club?

There was no such thing as "branding" until tje 60s

No we wouldn't , You would have people sending Tan Emails telling him its ok & offering to pick him up from Heathrow
