Would be better calling them Leigh Lemmings, more fitting considering how they have gone in Super League every time they have been in it.
I'm all for it. I love it. I'm not sure why they've done it, or what benefits they think this will bring, but I love it anyway.
It is a cat-astrophe!
Embarrassing owner picks new embarrassing name for club, shocker.
I ate a tuna sandwich on my first day!
Maybe it’s a feline conspiracy to get Leopards, Tigers, Wildcats, Panthers and Cougars into SuperLeague. Could the Pies be about to switch from Warriors to Pussies?
Should have gone with Leigh Toucans. Beak all over the show.

It's the shirt that I thought was a pi** take
Not that keen myself, but I guess they want to rebrand the club in to something more marketable to the kids?
I see someone's already chipped in with the 'cheetah' reference on another thread!
Bit early for April fools…
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
Any other club and I would say it’s a terrible PR stunt. Not Leigh though, Beaumont is in a planet of his own.
The badge looks like something knocked up on Paint and appears to be a leopard that’s spent a weekend eating brownies in Amsterdam, the shirt loses the clubs colours, the shirt has a leopard s******g out squad numbers and names and the ball looked like something from Phoenix Nights.

Is Leigh Sports Village going to be renamed to LSD? Because it seems like Beaumont is on that.
I quite like it.
Good for them trying to rebrand and build to do things a bit differently. Here’s hoping the Leopards are a more commercially successful and attractive club than the Centurions.
I never liked centurions to be honest which is probably influencing my view. The big downside is losing their colours but I’m not sure they were all that different/original anyway - to the untrained eye it could be Wigan or Salford or someone else.
It gives them something to make some noise about whatever anyone says, and to present the view that this isn’t the same old yo-yo Leigh, they are trying to be bigger and better.

Have they changed their colours from red and white hoops? They’ve had those colours since I’ve been watching rugby. That would annoy me more if I were a Leigh supporter.

Going to be difficult to change the spots in the team.

F*@k me! That must be one of the worst SL kits ever, whoever sanctioned the back of the shirt should be in a job using the phrases “ You want fries with that?”, “Regular or large?”. Dear God, I’m curious to hear from Budgiezilla and how the Leigh fans have reacted to it.
