The initials not showing our name is just them trying to market to overseas. Every football fan in the UK know what LUFC stands for. But lots of those abroad won't.
There's never a need for a new badge, but I do understand them making one to say it's a new start, new era, clean slate. Just did it badly.
When you hear comments like ‘the fans thought the white rose wasn’t ‘ownable’’ then you should worry, there is a massive disconnect. I’m not from Leeds but the Yorkshire rise is hugely relevant, I think Kinnear not being from Leeds has no clue about the importance of this but one would expect that by now he much better understands what is important to fans.
It would be interesting to have a petition by fans who love this new badge, if it was as popular as Kinnear complains, surely that would have happened by now, it hasn’t.
I have a horrible feeling this is for Far East market.
Speaking to some of bbc team offline they are of sake opinion as myself this badge is not dead at all. AR in China at moment, will be interesting to hear his reaction when he sees the furore.
That badge wont be on any shirt next season....not a chance
Gelderd it might change but not a lot if Kinnear gets his way.
Someone somewhere is going to have to eat a lot of public humble pie.
It’s really all down to AR at this point.
The only reason the badge should be changed is that it is for the centenary & maybe cos of the new regime, we could accept that but to say the 1 we have now emblazes poor performance and mediocrity is disgraceful.
The marxists & zionists in Asia will be well happy with the salute no idea who this is seriously being aimed at?
The LUFC salute is ours & ours only we don't want to share with every tom d!ck harry etc.....it is ours
It's been ridiculed that much there's no other option, they need to do a vote.

..........................................
The single root issue of this saga
gelder / Mike, yup....marketing nightmare that needs sorting & very quickly, the longer it rumbles on the more worrying it becomes.
Jonty’s right kinnear hasn’t got a clue....need to sack the whole marketing team
Andrea seems to listen to the fans, I trust he wont carry on with this....honestly I'm 99% certain this wont go ahead.
We've been mugged off by Zenit and Zamalek for god sake
You can only laugh really
Kinnear disregarded fans at both West Ham and arsenal and guess what, both clubs had badge changes against fans will. People try to repeat what they think they did well and hes trying it here.
Have no problem with marketing as long as it represents people’s core values, either the company and/or the fans.
Completely anise do surveys to find out how people want them to be when actually people want people (and companies) to be themselves ie be genuine not what someone else thinks they should act like.
Any good football club should know the heritage, know what the club stands for and know how the fans see the club.
It’s not hard for leeds
Pride of Yorkshire
Best team in europe Under Revie
Loads of cups and titles won
1919
Fans who have stuck through everything through thick and thin.
From that it’s easy to come up with images that can form a great badge.
Jonty, yes at WH & $rse he made a slight change, this is a complete rebranding, a complete overhaul, which is vile.
My worry is that it won't change too much from the original design & fans will buy as it is the centenary year.
The new Arsenal and West Ham badges were decent changes and probably didn't have mass protests with 70000 signatures in 12 hours.
This is a different scale and if they go through with it, it undoes everything good they done so far.
I cant see Andrea risking it.
Think they are defo wanting 'Leeds United' not LUFC on it. which is fair enough.
i mean its pretty easy concept.
draw a circle
put leeds at the top and united at bottom
19 on left 19 on right
and in middle white rose.
job done.
70k counts for nothing when you keep saying 10k liked it and we’ve also had positive feedback since.
He’s just ignoring the petition.
Changes were smaller at arsenal and West Ham yes but fans still hated them and they went through regardless. Kinnear ignored the fans there right now he’s saying the minimum and saying fans should trust him.

Sounds good to me
It is ALL down to AR, does he wants sales of 10k or 80k ?

It’s a marketing ploy for the Far East. Ask anyone there what LUFC stands for and I bet more that 75% say Liverpool or Leicester.
They want Leeds United in it for that reason alone.
“The marxists & zionists in Asia will be well happy with the salute....”
