I don't think that we should have one. It is not necessary.

One of suggestions we received via email was....the Yorkshire "Terriers"

We do not need a nickname. YOrkshire CCC is good enough.

If we have to have a nickname then I would quite like it to be

YORKSHIRE CHAMPIONS

but agree with the majority that no nickname is necessary

I hope you're taking notice Mr Regan.

I know that sporting teams need sponsors, but to name your team after the sponsor has always seemed ridiculous to me. Remember when Harvey Smith renamed his horses after being sponsored to names like Sanyo Music Center, Sanyo Video, etc. What a load of nonsense!

Which football team is it that's sponsored by Brain's Faggots???

Emblazen the kit with the sponsors name if you like, but give the team an aspirational name, please.

Yorkshire Tykes for me. No contest.

Yorkshire's crest has a white rose on it. The White Rose would seem to be the natural name.

Yorkshire Puddings (Aunt Bessie connection)
Yorkshire Steel (Dent Steel connection)
Yorkshire Pride
Yorkshire Riders (with Ridings connection)
Yorkshire Bittermen (because most of us tend to be)

Well, Carnegie doesn't do much for me - I know they are a major sponsor, but unless you who they are it's meaningless, and even then it's rubbish.

I think these sort of names are also partly a bit of psychological thing. "We're strong, we're cunning, we're fast". Looking at the other team names, most of them are allusions to speed, power, strength or cunning. Either directly, or through things or animals which are known for those attributes.

So, I don't like Yorkshire Terriers much either. It makes the team sound like a load of small yappy dogs!

Yorkshire Champions just seems a bit pretentious (especially if we don't win anything).

Yorkshire White Rose is kinda long and not very catchy (and are we being sponsored by the shopping centre in south Leeds?)

Yorkshire Tykes could also mean "load of small kids". Yes, I know 'tyke' is 'Yorkshireman' but how widly known is that 'abroad'?

You want a name that strikes fear into the heart of your opponents!

So of the list, I'd go for Pheonix - rising with flames from the ashes to burn the opposition!

I'm surprised that the White Rose option is doing so well, although the moniker has been widely used in journalistic and news circles since time immemorial. But I will always be a TYKES fan.

i am looking for a name that represents the whole county, like the white rose, not just leeds and the west riding, something inclusive.

The Broad Acres!

The White Rose appears to be the de facto nickname with the press, but I've always liked the "Tykes." Many of my non cricketing mates seem to use it, as well.

Looks like we have the wrong, but sponsors are important to.

We'll be closing this poll on Friday.

I notice Cally almost always uses the "Tykes" nickname on the radio broadcasts.
