Have I missed it, but when did the T20 Blast team become simply ‘Bears’. I think it’s dreadful and should be changed back to Warwickshire or even Birmingham Bears!!! Was it discussed at AGM or similar?

‘Told’ ? Who decided? Why? The first I knew of it was when the season started. It just seems wrong that our team name no longer has a link to the area when every other team does.

To be honest I prefer just “Bears” rather than “Birmingham Bears”!

Obviously want to be Warwickshire Bears given that’s our name and identity.

I think we’re the only team in world sport which doesn’t play under our own name.

However if I had to chose I prefer Bears to Birmingham Bears although I won’t bother watching or taking an interest until we revert to playing as Warwickshire.
