The club actually listened to us and the old Rufus is officially coming back. I honestly thought this was just a silly idea at the start but all of you showed them how much our mascot matters. Thank you for caring enough to speak up about this.

I sign this petition as a loyal Hull Kingston Rovers fan, who is highly entertained by the guy inside the Hull KR mascot's outfit every game. After seeing the 'new' rufus at the Hull KR vs Castleford Tigers game, I along with a lot of the Hull KR following was dissapointed and upset. The 'new' Rufus looks scarier for the children, looks less like a fun robin, and more like a sunburnt budgie. So therefore, I SIGN THIS PETITION TO BRING BACK THE OLD RUFUS

I am honestly stunned that this many people feel the same way about our friend Rufus. This movement belongs entirely to the fans who refuse to settle for that sunburnt budgie look.

Old Rufus had the personality. This new bloke is just dead behind the eyes. Get him out.

The new one is honestly terrifying look at those eyes. The kids hate it. Bring back the original mascot already.
