I went to Western back in the day. I'm actually pretty surprised it took this long for the name to be changed.

The comment section is golden though... and pretty much what you'd expect from people who read the Sun.

I'm intrigued by the cost of 200k for the name change.

all new branding?

those old redman shirts and what nots alllll have to be swapped out, equipment, probably changing rooms, so many logos...

Just jerseys alone is a massive cost. You have to realize that the school probably has five hundred jerseys for all the various sports.
Football helmets, probably a mural on the gym wall, maybe a scoreboard or two, stationary.

I'm surprised it's ONLY $200k.

Rebranding the gym floor is going to be a pricey project too.

All I know is there better not be a peep out of the CBE for raising school fees or not having enough money after spending this.
