Title: Leyton Orient = Swindon ?????
Post by: kerry red on Friday, September 7, 2012, 12:56:11
As they were named after a player who worked for the Orient Shipping Line what would follow Swindon to make a good club name _ in the same sort of vein.

Swindon Pressed Steel Fisher rolls off the tongue

I think you'll find Supermarine have already got this sewn up.

I quite like the traditional Town, City, Uniteds, bollocks, you'd get some shit team names like Franchise

Very pseudo-traditional

Go back a bit further and we could be the Swindon Swiners.

Spartans would be a brilliant nickname for the club, one that does indeed lie well in the origins of the club.

Join the club (two years later).

Doesn't this sound a good deal better than the Robins? Genuine club history, no confusion with Brizzle/Cheltnumb, and what use is a nickname that no fan ever uses?  Of course, would involve a slight redesign of the club badge...

Hopefully we'll put on a good display, I would like a repeat of the Port Vale game at home last season.

So - Swindon Steam it is.

With nickname Spartans.

Can imagine the old 'uns spluttering into their 3Bs already

I thought this thread was a reference to them having the same sponsors on both kits as us...and having the Samsung 'earn a contract' thing too...

Supermarine is much more interesting than Steam, I think...can't we just 'merge' with them and just keep their name?
