Am I the only person who finds these a bit tasteless. Remember the fallen and support a football team at the same time!
Why not just wear a normal poppy?
+ 1, I agree totally.Quote:

Fair enough it earns more money but it still seems very classless. The politicalisation and commercialisation of the poppy is all very weird.Quote:

The fact you can now get bejewelled and shiny ones to me is the antithesis of what they were supposed to stand for.
Never forget and support west ham at the same time!
Tacky
At least all the money appears to go to charity which is rare for poppy “spin offs”
I agree. And the Asian dragon just makes it worse. It makes it seem like the club is glomming on to something.Quote:

They will sell big time.
Lord Ninian fell in battle
2 October 1915, Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
Therefore I find these badges a fitting tribute.
I always leave a poppy every year on my Grandfather's grave.. He lost a leg in WW1. He died a young man I never met him.
This year I will leave one of these badges on his grave.
Wonderful gestureQuote:
