JHRover Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) The furore today has been so great that the Leeds MD has promised to go away and do some more 'consultation' which suggests they realise what a joke it is. Whatever consultation they did I doubt it involved any self respecting supporter. These owners think they can just employ a designer to sit on a computer and throw together some fancy designs along with some flanel about what has gone into it. This isn't the US. Club badges are something that evolve over time, incorporate traditions and identities and fans are proud and protective of. As someone else said, fans eat pies and drink beer at matches, you wouldn't put those on the club badge. If Rovers ditched the red rose and Arte et Labore and came up with a shield with Rover the Dog in the middle there'd be outrage.

Leeds fans makes the right arm across the chest gesture at matches. I think it said on Sky Jim that ten thousand Leeds fans had been consulted and had opted for it. However, there are currently fifty thousand signatures on a petition to get rid of it as soon as possible. It’s hideous but as a club that I dislike as much as any, I think it suits them fine.

I got the info from a Leeds fan who I met today. He thinks the new badge is wonderful ! The protesters seem most upset over the loss of the white Yorkshire rose.

Norbert Rassragr Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 As said elsewhere, the Leeds badge looks like it is from one of those computer games that do not have the official rights, and is the badge for 'West Yorkshire Whites'. It is really dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably chucked together by some bloke in an office in London who has never even been to Leeds never mind knows anything about football. I often wonder about Rovers changing their badge but if this is the sort of stuff on offer then no thanks. Some clubs have done well with their changes though. Sheffield Wednesdays is smart. This Leeds one is just shocking. Petition now launched to prevent it being brought in. Reminds me of the scottish football people naming their leagues after the english football leagues but with the word scottish put in front of them. That was a yorshireman who decided that as well...this must be a yorkshire thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will people learn that nothing is certain in football? I was only joking mate calm down I watched the game tonight, Bristol City didn't turn up and our former man Andy Cryer seemed to think it was their worst performance of the season. Looked all over a 0-0 but fair play to Bolton they worked hard and nicked a goal, I still don't think there's anywhere near enough quality in that side to stay up for certain. They've sold their main man and I think that will ultimately cost them in the end. We'll see come May anyway and I'll eat my words if they stay up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted February 4, 2018 Backroom Share Posted February 4, 2018 Leeds started off really well but their form started getting patchy in October and it's never really recovered. Losing 4-1 at home to Cardiff comes on the back of a winless January and 2 points from a possible 15. They had a decent December but if their goal is the playoffs then they're well off the pace. Six months seems harsh but that's football these days, especially at clubs like Leeds. Speaking of Cardiff, what a job Warnock's done there. A shame he wasn't the "outstanding candidate" here...

JHRover Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Leeds want Paul Heckingbottom to be their new manager and are hoping to reach a deal later today according to their local paper. Barnsley on a shocking run so a bit of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few poor teams in the Championship , if it hadnt been for Redknapp and Huddersfield shenanigans , we would still be there only just mind !
