How about we play to the leagues strengths? The Hoof League!

'The eL' has a good ring to it imo. Maybe the Eircom 10? Or does that sound too much like the Rossport 5?

Peil Eire A (premier division)

Peil Eire B (first division)

Some young player could then be christened the fresh prince of Peil Eire.

But what happens when Allianz take over the sponsorship? It would really sound like a Dublin and District League then!

[SIZE=1](Yes I realise that the spelling doesn't exactly match but PAIL does sound like PALE)[/SIZE]

I think so too. The suggestions in the Genesis report were complete and utter tripe. The eircom Professional Super League?!?! The two things a league like that aren't are professional and super.

The (Sponsor's name) Premier League - Plain and simple
The (Sponsor's name) League
The (Sponsor's name) Irish League
The (Sponsor's name) League of Ireland
The (Sponsor's name) Irish League Championship

Adding silly things like E-12 Super-duper GO league et al are just plain dumb. I agree with a model based on successful leagues. Barclays English Premiership, La Liga, Serie A, is there a copyright on us being called the Eircom Irish League cos of the Northern League? Surely we should have ownership of that title?

The EL is not to bad but when the sponsor changes it leaves you open to problems. Its not the name thats the problem, its the fact its not marketed. The el budget is a joke!!

Don't be rediculous. The south were the ones that split. The 'Irish League' title is over 120 years old. We should only be using the term 'Irish League' if/when we get an all-Ireland league.

I agree that there isn't much wrong with the present name 'eL', its really just that it isn't marketed correctly.

**blutil** · 29/09/2005, 2:01 PM

the eL is fine but as mentioned before, we need to have a name that will still have the ability to be marketed if the sponsor changes

I am aware that we split but is it a registered trademark. I assume it is. Its the first name we are called thou. Anyone from abroad or even in the South call us the Irish League!!!! Its a constant correction I seem to have to make to people. Its awkward seeing as after the default league name (la liga, serie a) people say the Spanish League, the Italian league. However in Ireland we are not the Irish League

I hear you. How did they end up as the Irish League anyway? Especially when the majority of the clubs are, ahem, the other side?! Barstoolers call our league the Irish League

Bit like the hypocrisy of their "national" side wearing green yet having dozens of butchers aprons hanging
