Hull City fans are signing a petition to stop the club's 'rebranding'.
The Hull Daily Mail says more than 1,800 people have signed a petition calling for the rebranding of Hull City AFC to be reversed.
The Tigers' owners Assem and Ehab Allam say changing the name to Hull City Tigers - and Hull Tigers internationally - will help widen the club's global appeal.
However, many fans have reacted angrily to the change, saying the name "Hull City AFC" has been with the club since 1904.
Tigers fan Joe Lynch, who has launched the online petition, wrote: "This is a disgraceful move that has garnered ridicule and disapproval from all sectors of the footballing world.
"Fans of opposing teams have been quick to mock the club and its fans, while others have been more sympathetic, expressing their own personal distaste in line with the opinion of a large segment of Hull City fans."
