Am I the only person thinking that they have made a complete shambles, not only of the voting process or with the selection process in the first place but also with their use of the badge in general since patrick cryne took over. We had a vote whether we wanted to change the badge, then proceeded to change it year after year anyway. Then we had the club using yet more new badges on merchandise that have never even been on our shirts. Then we had new signage put up in the stands using an out of date badge (they appeared this year but featured last seasons 125th year badge with last years date on them) and then just days after they were put up we announced they were changing the badge anyway. Then the whole debacle with using a leeds company instead of asking barnsley fans. Then they announce options featuring a lancashire red rose. Then they try to force a change by showing only images of the four new badges and not the current badge which is an option. And now on their facebook page they are yet again using an out of date badge with 1887-2012 written on it to advertise fixtures for 2014. Piss up in a brewery comes to mind
The clubs just one big f'uck up from top to bottom always as been, its one of the reasons i love it so much, wouldn't be the same if we was run like a professional club, penny pinching left right and center like a true Yorkshire man too.
That's what a rebrand is supposed to mean, a new image to take us forward for years to come. Usually firms spend thousands getting consultation and feedback etc before deciding . Ours logos like a kids drawn em
Somebody must like them. I don't know who, but someone must. Its like when they bring a new shirt out, half the supporters want a collar, half don't. Some want more white on it, its the wrong shade of red, the sponsor is too big and so on. Ultimately who gives a ****, not many people and those that do lump it after a few days. It feels a bit different with a badge. It feels like its more representative of the club, and indeed the town. To me they don't seem right. Their subtle, modern design is not right. The weird gold is not right. The strange "Leeds" white rose is not right. But on Facebook and Twitter some people did like them, so one of them may well get voted for . . . and in a while no-one will give a ****.
I think it's our past badges that are cack and the current shambles with a bloke in flares on is embarrassing, thank fook someone is dragging this club into the 21st century
Mario - you go to the Courthouse tonight? If so, you weren't the 'sweaty' cross dresser fetching the empties off the tables was you?
