Perhaps most fans ( and some who have supporting the club longer than you ) were not actually that bothered about the rebranding, after-all many of the self installed “fans leaders” approved of it at the time.
Personally I wish it never happened but as I don’t buy football tops ( they for me are for kids ) it didn’t overly bother me. Those who did have slowly returned now that the decision has been reversed.
Unfortunately, most people in general doesn’t care that much as to what is really going on at the club (and you could also include matters outside of sport ) that’s obvious and those who do make the masses wary.
