How stupid can you get in rebranding a football club (apart from having a sofa and changing your mascots to bedraggled bird and the wizard of oz tinman)
I know there is an element of the "shock of the new" so any change or different design will be rejected by some but that badge is just terrible.
Even the lettering and shape are poor let alone the naff image.
So they asked fans what Leeds meant and Leeds fans mentioned the "salute" so some bright spark said "I know, lets make the salute the badge" Clueless.
A bit like when Katrien was being told by designers to drop Addicks as our nickname. Thankfully the few Charlton supporting staff left managed to convince them what a stupid idea that was.
I am presuming that they don't want to be associated with Yorkshire having dropped the white rose - I suspect for most Yorkshire folk the feeling will be mutual.
I have a grudging respect for whichever branding/marketing/consulting/pr parasite got paid to do this - there is no law against charging stupid people for things they ask for but don't need. But the fact the utter fucktards at Leeds have thought "yeah, like it, we'll use that, terrific" just beggars belief, the ignorance required to be blind to the loathsome connotations (however unintentional) is staggering. It remains to be seen if the Leeds FC merch buying devotees are gullible/retarded enough to fall for this and then buy more shirts again in 6 months time when the badge gets changed again to something (hopefully) less fascist.
The morons putting that on the shirts passed the EFL 'fit & proper' test - nuff said.

It reminds me of the joke ones in our classic April Fool's gag!
What's the reaction in your part of Leeds @leedsaddick?

A selection of my text messages from the last 20 minutes:
'This is what happens when you let people with no knowledge of footy design stuff. The kits are bad enough'
'F*ck off'
'It's a f*cking disgrace'
'Who have they asked, 10,00 Sheff Wednesday fans?'
'100 years? At least I'll f*cking die part way through.'
2,249 votes, 83% don't like it. I would put money on them changing it again
As such your treatment from me is dependent on the timing of your abusive posts.
The video is hideous and embarrassing.

Clubs are putting business ahead of community.
Bit like when Cardiff wanted to be red due to being welsh to redesign their image for money. Also when West Ham tried to become the ‘London Club’.
English football is being ruined.
