Hull City have threatened to increase the prices of season tickets by 50% next season if The FA decides to block the requested name change from Hull City AFC to Hull Tigers.
Ehab Allam, who is the son of Essam Allam, says that the club will increase prices if they don’t get their way because they have shirt sponsorship deals for next season that are contingent on the name change being passed. The club has at least two global sponsorship deals for brands to advertise on the club shirts. But if the Allams don’t get their way, they say the sponsors will walk.

Could they not just re-brand to Hull City Tigers. That way the Tigers section becomes part of the official name and satisfies the Sponsors. But they keep the City part to stay a bit historic and true to their fans?

I quite like the new one. The old one isn't itself all that old (2001 apparently), one of the first badges they used was just the tiger head. Could say he's being really traditional with the new one.

To be fair it's rebranding in a similar way a host of clubs have been doing. Dumbing the image down slightly, I think it's to do with copyright
Hence the badger at the top.It is. You cannot enforce copyright if a symbol/logo is frequently copied. When we, Arsenal and countless others, redesigned out badge it was with an eye on rigorously enforcing the intellectual property protection on it.

Well, the posters have sold 0 copies, the t-shirts 0, the badges 0. I'm a techie, not a marketing man.how much we making off image rights from that by the way?
