Leigh Leopards are trending at #10 on Twitter in the UK, so it's got us some attention. Not positive attention, but still!

Phineas T Barnum is associated (although disputed) with having coined the phrase, 'There is no such thing as bad publicity' and Leigh appear to have attracted a shed load of it today and we have become something of a laughing stock amongst the fans of our rivals

I'm not so sure about about the substance of the saying. I am also pretty sure that Liz Truss would disagree with the phrase.

Some of the merch is appealing. Then you can expect a "throwback"/"retro" cherry & white range at some point too. It seems Leigh have gone from a lack of communication to an info dump of epic proportions.

https://indd.adobe.com/view/3d3e261d-1f ... 9dad654e96 Presentation looks good, the name will grow (never liked Centurions and kept spelling it with an 'A') Can understand the reasoning and everything else needed for an A category is being put in place. Hopefully the away kit is Cherry and White hoops.

I'll be more upset if we've ditched Cherry & White for our kit, and it looks like we have.

I thought your official colours were red and white not cherry and white?

Always been cherry and white in my 50 years of watching the team.

Would this of happened prior to the IMG introduction to the game , doubtful, but it looks like it has been well planned and not hurriedly thrown together. They have radically changed the identity of the club and all that goes with it. Proof is in the pudding If it works ,but I’ve never seen so much attention towards our club, admittedly not all positive
