The Colts Thread

Seriously though, let's ignore the outside opinion and just decide between ourselves if we really want to change our name from CW Colts and if we really want to be a colour.

Personally, I'm a neutral vote for changing name at all - I don't mind if we do - but I'm against being just another colour as I feel that we shouldn't need to be labelled in the same way as every other team. It's kind of sad that every team is a colour at all to be honest - I think it's lacking in imagination and is rather boring. And we end up with the crappy leftover colours. :p I'd rather be a 'Colt' than a 'Yellow' or a 'Gold'. We all know our uniform is yellow, and anyone who isn't colourblind (or blind altogether) can see the same, so if we must pick a name, let's not pick something redundant.

surely the CWBCC can decide to change your name if they wan't and decide it would be more relevant?

Seems like effort really. CBF. Stay Colts.

I'd be disappointed if they became dictators over such trivial matters rather than concentrating on more important affairs. This is our team, we can call ourselves what we like as far as I'm concerned.

So far the voting is in favour of staying Colts, it seems. :)

*is indecisive*

Look, if we ARE going to change our name to a colour, I'd like it to be Gold, instead of Yellow. However, if we're going to change our name to something besides a colour (CW Table legs anyone?) I'd rather we stay the Colts because, unless we find the perfect name, we probably won't settle on a name...

We effectively are the CW (Yellow) Colts at the moment so I'll take that as a vote for no change (which I'm happy with).
