Finally the death of the "Batgirl".
That name always seemed a bit silly and, if the BLNR is going to be available on both bracelets, it makes no sense to keep on pushing it for bracelet option.
Or am I expecting too much? |

I think you'll find people will use batgirl for the jubilee version, and batman for the oyster.

The nicknames themselves are stupid.
It's always should've been been the oyster or jubilee bracelet. |

Nicknames were tolerated up until “batgirl” was shot across the forum as a obvious slam to the new BLNR. This was very obvious of its intentions since no new nicknames were drafted up for the BLRO jubilee. Somehow “Pepsi” wasn’t confusing for both jubilee and oyster versions but “batman” was too confusing.

Agree with the OP, ultimate flexibility purely for a bracelet option is the death of this stupid nickname
