What were the other name options before 'Blue Sox' was chosen?

Bombers. But that aint a cracking idea in the current worldwide climate.

Just looking at that Blue sox badge now make me feel ill.

I know a poster on this forum who has to live with it as it is tattooed on their leg.

Don't you just feel for them?

if we had stuck with it people would have got used to it

i for one liked it

Tell me what the hell is our knickname now!

oh thats right we aint fooking got one! v clever marketing that, at least people had a debate about the blue sox!

traditionalist or not, no knickname is such a great step forward was'nt it!

How about The Mighty FAX! I like that one

Fancy Fax

Bit of alliteration there as well

You could say it's running through his veins.......
As I was sat in the tattoo-ists chair, he said to me " I've never done a Halifax Bluesox tattoo before, but I've done loads of Brad**** B**** ones" That took some restraining as I was in enough pain as it happened

Playing quality rugby is a far better marketing tool than a ridiculous nickname. Sox was a very poor choice compared to the other names chosen by clubs.

Blue Bottoms


We ended up on our @rses, anyway.
