Right. Badge day wednesday being over. Back to what matters most. Wheres our striker and new manager?

24 Jan 2018 23:51:19
I think it was a ruse - "lets make a shite situation, a crap badge change for instance, then let the fans get all crazy over it-now comes the good part- let them get it over turned and then they think they have won one"---" that will take their minds off the 2nd rate players "

Kray Was the same philosophy in place when we bought Klich and now we are relieved he's been loaned?

25 Jan 2018 07:13:29
me and the mrs said that last night kray, a distraction from poor manager and results then they say ok we won't do it and we move on

24 Jan 2018 21:33:28
Hopefully it does get discarded and then do actually ask fans their ideas. I'd be happy to see the Lufc lettering as in 72 cup final on a white shield with blue and amber trim.

& put the Yorkshire rose the right way round this time

24 Jan 2018 19:37:21
Props to Kinnear and radz for backtracking on what they thought to be a good idea. Takes balls to do that! IMO was a terrible idea but in the first place!

24 Jan 2018 18:31:19
Over 50,000 sign petition so far.

24 Jan 2018 18:36:15
Jebus! That must be enough of a response to prompt a rethink!

24 Jan 2018 18:43:58
Badge will be scrapped!

Bet the souvenir shop is rampant with nothing more than tumbleweed #tumbleweed

Twitter got a mock up of the new badge as rock, paper, sissors. Very funny, #leedsofficallaughingstock

24 Jan 2018 18:48:11
Sadly Some of you are now seeing what some have been saying for a long time, same old thing just a different face,

24 Jan 2018 19:27:12
Wrong again whiteman. They've listened. And will now give the fans the vote on a range of options. Different faces, different approach. On, on, on!

24 Jan 2018 19:56:11
Yes realisation of the dosh they would lose on merchandising sales. #moneytalks!

24 Jan 2018 20:26:27
Maybe partially. but like I've said, quoting that the fans are the heart of the club and community, then giving them the rods, would not be very shrewd. We have the best board and owner, that we have had for decades!

24 Jan 2018 21:13:03
Brightwhite sadly not wrong, it’s should never happen in the first place, Drrrrrrr

24 Jan 2018 21:14:37
Brightwhite, that the under statement of the year,

24 Jan 2018 17:37:55
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges! Name the movie.

If it's not the players shooting themselves in the foot with ill discipline, it's the Board turning the club into a laughing stock. A little common sense is needed, why not consult the fans properly before release not just hope we will get to like it. Scrap it or kit sales will be virtually nil next season.

24 Jan 2018 17:44:51
I certainly will not be buying a shirt with that on it. Its sadly pathetic.

24 Jan 2018 18:03:50
Relax guys it's TCs new coaching badge, hopefully he gets it when we give him the elbow.

24 Jan 2018 16:50:10
Re: badge - no class

24 Jan 2018 17:01:40
Totally getting hammered On national sports radio, well thought through, best of luck with next seasons kit sales. Laughing stock, #owngoalradz

24 Jan 2018 16:44:11
They have never asked 10,000 people and come up with this? The nearest I can figure is that they asked the same man 10,000 times. Surely the easiest solution would have been to set up a forum before releasing anything.

{Ed001's Note - and even then he probably only said it was good the last time to get rid of them....}

24 Jan 2018 13:43:59
My favourite forum comment so far on the new badge. Looks like an advert for gaviscon! I thought Rads would have commissioned something better than this

24 Jan 2018 15:51:34
It is simply put - PANTS

24 Jan 2018 17:16:04
i agree 92 whoever put that must be one funny bloke, not as funny as the bloke who drew the badge and got the board to get behind it, just had it sent through to me on FB with Jimmy Savilles face on top of badge, get ready for that to become popular

New image uploaded to the
Leeds Player Sightings page entitled, Different Leeds United badge

24 Jan 2018 14:37:46
The new badge. Now this is what referendums were made for.

24 Jan 2018 16:15:57
True Leodis. #fanpower

24 Jan 2018 14:04:23
The fans of leeds are unhappy at the football being played, so the owners do the most symbolic thing possible by making a statement to us that we are the capital of the club and that we are as important as anyone. They won't change the badge, we may as well get behind it, radz means business and i know for a fact this thing won't get changed. Its not my favourite, but it could probably be worse, just. I support the club, not a badge, not a player, remember why you support the club. Its not like what happened at cardiff is it, going from blue to red. Same colours, more fan orientated. MOT boys, top 2 now i'm calling it, just you watch. 10 points to catch up in 20 games, get lasogga scoring and saiz back, and just wait and see how the next 4 months unfold.

24 Jan 2018 15:28:19
26,000 so far have signed asking for it to be stopped!

24 Jan 2018 15:49:51
Speedy signed what where point me in that direction it will be 26001

24 Jan 2018 13:45:22
few have said it but just to echo that. what is that new badge about? What fans were consulted? I was not aware leeds had 10,000 blind fans and even half of them would throw up at sight of new badge. I'm not from yorkshire but still the white rose is leeds, not any other club leeds it must be on our badge. I always said I hate tattoos but will get leeds badge on heart when I die to be buried with it. just pray to god my kids don't use this badge as a final joke on me bring back the 90's badge or something similar, I'm bais as that was my time as a kid but that represents leeds not some badly drawn white bloke doing some russian salute to Starlin also not local but I like to think I am very up with it as a leeds fan. pretty sure the leeds saulte is not a massive thing is it?

24 Jan 2018 14:03:04
A lot of fans recognise the salute but just as many if not more would be baffled by it i think. maybe not now. I liked the 90's rose badge as well - that and the smiley one were my favourites.

24 Jan 2018 14:09:44
A lot off clubs players and fans do the heart / chest salute, that I have seen. So just get rid now. It’s diabolical to look at. We have went down the retro kit look. Why not with the badge. ? Had to be a masssive petition against this joke

24 Jan 2018 14:32:17
One issue with the white rose on our badge. its upside down and has been for at least 10 years

24 Jan 2018 16:09:37
fair enough least it is a thing, a salute is one thing, passion etc. i quite like it, but on a badge is looks a touch racist and communist. maybe trying to get russian investment in which case what a great idea

24 Jan 2018 13:37:21
It's not the 1st April. ? Is it ? Or a day for gags n jokes in radz homeland off Italy. ? That is easily the worst crest / badge of any professional, amateur or even shit football team Iv ever seen. I hope this is just an option and will be changed immediately for next season. It's not even laughable. It's cringe United. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈💩

24 Jan 2018 13:07:13
Sorry cannot warm to the new badge. I am not a great fan of the existing one but the new one is certainly not any improvement. It smacks of 3 blokes in a pub on the back of a beer mat. Just what design team and widespread consultation came up with this.

24 Jan 2018 13:25:32
Only way I can warm to it is by printing it off and throwing it on the 🔥

24 Jan 2018 13:29:48
McCormack just seen the new badge and decided he don't want any part of it. Said he ain't missing that S**T!

24 Jan 2018 12:30:59
Wtf is the new badge about?

24 Jan 2018 13:08:06
Some kind of communist party badge. Long live the revolution!

24 Jan 2018 13:22:24
Could not agree more with your verdict. Going down about as well as a 16 stone tart in back of mini.
