Those with a tolerance for marketing speak might enjoy the case study from the agency who did the rebrand of Championship to Champ Rugby 

Hopefully the marketing has an impact and can grow the fan base and interest in general.

Those that enjoy management speak will probably think the same as everyone else. There is an inflection that suggests they have met all criteria and all is thrustingly rosy in the garden. I hope they are right but I suspect it is just another load of old b o llocks

Yes, I ran it up the flagpole, and thinking outside the box, very few saluted.

A very small agency, based in Hove in East Sussex, run by a James Jardine. Wasn’t there a rugby playing Jim Jardine? Edinburgh?

Anyway, the key step in choosing the name seems to have been that the Yoof of today like to shorten everything. And the logo…a rugby ball!! Who’d have thought it eh?

Did they notice that in the logo the brand of ball is clearly visible, one hopes they charged Gilbert for this free brand exposure.

Thanks for the link Paul

And linked to the late Eddie Jordan?
And therefore London Irish?

If I had read that load of management w*nkspeak without knoing the background I would have assumed it was a parody.  Worthy of a late night TV satire show.

And even more worryingly it was apparently worthy of those running the league throwing huge amounts of cash the game can't afford at the clowns who produced it.

Its an interesting conundrum they have - trying to raise the profile of a league thats been neglected for years, in a country where the sport is very much not mainstream outside of the internationals.

You can get 'the youth' interested in coming to Twickenham, with all the razmataz and fanfare that involves. The 6N is huge and everyone watches it. 

Can you interest the average young England fan to want to go support their local premiership club on a week-in-week out basis? Probably not, based on the popularity of that league.

Can you interest the average young England fan to want to come to their local championship club and (in some cases) stand on the touchline in the driving rain with no cover and surrounded by 5 fans and a dog. Almost certainly not.

It'll be an interesting battle and im not sure calling it the 'champ' and doing some pretty instagram posts (which have interactions numbering no more than a few hundred each) will do much to change that
