    The badge has seen major changes over the years. This is worse than the 70s smiley one.

    That's terrible, as someone says looks like an early MLS logo. Even the Columbus Crew changed their logo on the right.

    It reminds me of the joke ones in our classic April Fool's gag!

    Thought it might've been a joke but they've done a video with a load of men pumping their chests like gorillas so evidently is real and fucking awful.

    It's the move of an owner who's intentions were probably good but who completely fails to understand what a football club means to it's fanbase.

    Not mine, alas - but someone on another site I post to has just pointed out that it's a badge of someone covering up their badge

    It's gone down really well up here...kidding, they're fuming.

    What's the reaction in your part of Leeds @leedsaddick?

    'Yorkshire Whites' is trending on twitter because of this too.

    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)

    They're all fuming.

    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.'

    That is absolutely terrible

    With it being your local club you must be furious.

    Oi, @Leeds_Addick how comes I got the W*nker gif and WSS, just because he's a mod, gets off scot free. Where's your bottle? :wink:

    It's the Leeds salute for those that aren't aware.

    They also had this which was their iconic 70s badge, and shit.

    I always quite liked the "LU/Football blend badge. But then I also liked their numbered sock tags too!

    Can’t find a good gif whilst I’m at work I’m afraid.

    As such your treatment from me is dependent on the timing of your abusive posts.

    The Crew one looks like an early 90's hip hop group's logo. Bet they sold a load of hoodies off the back of that branding.

    No doubt they paid a marketing team a fortune to come up with that.

    The video is hideous and embarrassing.

    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.

    More proof that money is ruining the game.

    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.

    and we fucked you over, go us, we're fablius!

    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.
