On mobile apologies for untidy link. makes sense I suppose ' engage the wider community', although it's never hurt Rangers or Celtic not being universally known as Glasgow... |

Saw this coming last year when they took 'Braehead' off the the shirt logos and started referring to the team as "Glasgow's Braehead Clan" in all the press releases!
Makes sense for marketing, recruitment etc though

Personally I love the rebrand. Disliked the old cartoony logo, at least the new one is relevant to the team's moniker.
Plus our Socckey's are pretty nice as well.

MUCH better. Logo looks far more serious and less cartoony and the name change should help attract a wider audience.

Not impressed. Yes, the old cartoonish logo wasn't the best, but anything that even remotely resembles something from "Braveheart" - surely one of the worst films ever made - just invites ridicule. Will substituting "Glasgow" for "Braehead" help spread the word? I honestly don't know... if not, what's the point? Either way... they're still the Purple Pimple Beaters...  |

It’s baffling this wasn’t done when the team was set up as it’s a logical marketing approach to take. Whilst the team isn’t actually in Glasgow there are plenty of teams in plenty of sports that adopt this approach to their name so no real issue.
The logo looks more professional, the original logo honestly looked liked it had picked up a participation medal from a nursery school art contest.
No matter what where why or how the team is called what it is, they are bang average and still won’t be winning the league.

All down to sponsorship I’m sure

When the Clan was first formed they didn't want to alienate either the Ayrshire or Paisley fans so settled on Braehead.
They should have been brave from the start and went with Glasgow from the off.

Makes sense I suppose, whether it makes much difference I guess they'll find out. Agree it's odd they didn't go straight in as Glasgow.
Logo is better, but only because the old one was so terrible. Like Shaggy says, it's very Mel Gibson.

My point being you do like a good moan on here, you've actually got a chance to do something about it here and offer Panthers something. Why not submit an entry on something YOU like rather than belittle everyone else? The jerseys don't bother me at all. I couldn't care less what they look like. But you clearly do, so I don't see why insulting (presumably a lot of children and teenagers) efforts is needed when you yourself could submit an option. |

The classical trait of a negative human being, destroy others whilst sat aloft upon your cloud of insecurity. |

I started to use Glasgow instead of Braehead in my league tables then fans suggested i should use their real identity of Braehead.So I changed to using Braehead.
Not sure how far off the city of Glasgow it is off top of my head but was assured it was near if not part of that council.But with Paisley etc near I understand the original reason to be Braehead.Yet we have the change now which I'm happy with if it helps them.
