BADGERED CLUBS
Leeds United FC claim to have asked over 6 months, 10,000 people for their opinion of the club's new badge. This change is to mark the club's centenary, next year. I am surprised we have never heard of this during its progress.
talkSPORT needless to say, with Goughie at the helm, is giving it large. Scrap IT! They say and so do all their "listeners" and "phoners".
Leeds claim to have put their fans at the heart of the club. The figure is a white "Caucasian" ...not representative of the multi-ethnic Leeds city. No White Rose, no reference to football.
The club says "We are delighted and proud to reveal a new crest that represents the passion and unique identity that runs though the club." This is the Leeds Salute -how long have Leeds supporters done this?;
Jonny Bairstow said "shocking". It's like the Gaviscon advert.
The club says "Updating the crest is not a decision we have not taken lightly".....
