is it about time we reclaimed our devil back and start by putting it on our shirt, also get rid of the power ranger ,and bring back our devil, man united have stole it from us ,and i for one would like to see it back ,be it on the shirt or walking around the ground entertaining the kids ,

Absolutely. Everyone in RL knows us as the red devils and the club are allowing our history to fade away. Quite apart from the fact that it has marketing potential (kids t shirt with "little devil" on, a little devils kids membership club for younger kids as well as a junior devils scheme for the older kids similar to waht we had in the past) a devil walking round instead of a wierd power ranger thing that has no relevence to the club would be miles better.

didnt united put a copyright on red devil merchandise

are you smithy 68 in disguise??

I think only on the fred the red devil from a previous thread on this subject.

It did cross my mind

.. Lets take the Cross of St George & the Union Jack back from football hooligans & the BNP...

It's wrong but they'll always be associated with the red shirt & the Red Devil monicker.

We know they really are the Newton Heath Railwaymen, we wore the Turkey Red before them, we were [uGIVEN[/u the accolade Les Diables Rouge decades before it was purloined. in truth it was the 1970's ? before United actually adopted it on their club badge. their real badge was more like FCUM's.

Your right , but we'll be like a canal boat trying to push a Oil tanker off course

no , isnt he a legend ?

..... changed my priorities , first let rescue this forum from posts about an overpaid Portuguese Footballer

your right , lets bring back our history , the devil belongs to us not man utd , the marketing angle must be looked at , little devils ,junior devils , for the ladies salfords horny devils , the list is endless as said by chrismum ,surely the club can see this , the willows home of the red devils ,this must be brought up at the next forever reds meeting , and lets get rid of the power ranger

THE RED DEVILS IN ANY LANGUAGE

even if they did United admit they nicked the name red devils from us. Went on a tour of Old Trafford a couple of years ago (not my choice we had friends over from Australia). In the programme they had little facts dotted all over it and it mentions that the name the red devils was originally the nickname of a local rugby team salford reds. So by rights we should have the rights to it.

get our devil back!!!!!!!

as an outsider looking in...couldn't you (Salford and Utd) BOTH use the red devil emblem/logo etc etc. Might gain you a following outside of the traditional rugby league world???

Everyone knows it was your name first....it would be interesting what would happen if you just started using it again...not sure Utd would want to go to court over it!

i think that is correct. although i'd love to be a fly on the wall on the day one of the glazers lackeys decides to tell the parachute regiment that they can't call their display team the red devils either

can't you share it, if not why not just salford devils

Have the same nickname as another sporting team?! Are you mad, that would never work.

We need our own, unique nickname name that only applies to us, like St Helens get called 'Saints'.

What is it in Klingon?

What we currently have is just irrelevent. Look at the other clubs and their mascots.

Hull KR (The Robins) = A Robin
Wigan Warriors = Max the Warrior
Bradford Bulls = Bully
Saint Helens = A SAINT Bernard
Catalan Dragons = A Dragon
Huddersfield Giants = a Giant (albeit the smallest giant I've ever seen)
Warrington Wolves = Wolfie
etc etc

Salford City Reds = Wierd Power Ranger thing in an obscenely tight Lycra outfit.

we as the fans of this great club ,must make sure we never lose our history ,we must fight to keep our nickname , so what if united are trying to steal it from us , they cannot have it , the red devils belongs to salford , players in 1934 earned that nickname ,lets not let it go

lets get rid of the power ranger and bring back our devil

here's a silly thought why not at the next home game all you 'DEVIL fans' come dressed your selfs as devils

it s a lot better idea than the turbans at batley





lets start at the next home game on friday , red devil mask , banners flags anything to do with our history , even a song or two from the shed

we want our devil back
we want our devil back
we want our dev
we want our devil back


lets get the club thinking the same way as most of us , and lets get rid of the power ranger

I totally agree that we are THE ORIGINAL AND BEST RED DEVILS.
We are never going to get rid of UTD using it nor are we ever going to stop the parachute regiments display team using it.
However, does that mean WE should stop? NO WAY PEDRO!!!!

We still have some tenuous links to the devil, look at the top of this page. Now is the time to openly market it again and use it to it's fullest degree. I hardly think the juggernaught that is Utd is going to be that bothered by little old Salford using the name again.

As for Fatboys Limbs comment about Saints being unique to St Helens RL:
Northampton Saints- RU
Southhampton FC
New Orleans Saints- NFL
St George- Illawarra
I rest my case




Give us our devil back!!!!

The Irony-detector engineer is on his way over.

Not sure anyone wants 'our Dev' after seeing that huge photo of hm naked in the Street?!

Actually, the original Diables Rouges was the Belgian national football team.

HTH.
