[edit] Article title
The Cats and other South African Super 14 teams are franchises, not club. The article's title should be changed. Should it be changed to Cats (Super rugby franchise) like the New Zealand Super 14 teams or Cats (rugby union) like Welsh side Ospreys?

[edit] Lions?
Why did they actually change their name? What was the reason given?
- According to the Golden Lions, they conducted "in-depth market research". In other words, it was a branding exercise. Here's my take on the rationale: Before 2005, the two main unions connected with the franchise were the Golden Lions and Free State Cheetahs. The Cats roster drew heavily from both unions, and they split their home games between Johannesburg and Bloemfontein. When the latter team became the core of the new Vodacom Cheetahs franchise, the main reason for using the "Cats" name disappeared. All home games are now in Jo'burg, and a large majority of the players on the Super Rugby side are now drawn from the Golden Lions (although the two other unions associated with the Super Rugby side have feline nicknames, namely Leopards and Pumas). — Dale Arnett 01:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jersey
I'm pretty sure the Lions away jersey is red- could someone change this in the image? ronan.evans 13:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cats Rugby.jpeg
Image:Cats Rugby.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
