I can't remember applying for my season ticket as TBG....
Many owners have been involved in controversial badge changes, they also use their influence in other areas through sponsorship and the like ( an historic ground such has Hillsbrough has the owners name engraved in the seating of the magnificent cantilever stand. The stand, which was upgraded for the 1966 W/C, is also a listed building )
Many traditions have been changed to reflect the owners desires.
I’m sure the badge will be changed again for the umpteenth time when he finally sells up.
Where to start. Chansiri is an unpopular owner who has made some frankly terrible decisions. He’s also not made any changes to the listed building, he’s just changed the colour of the seats. This brings SWFC sponsorship money, like he did when he set up loads of fake businesses that he owned to sponsor various parts of the ground. If Chansiri is your example, he’s not a good one.
That worm is on all our kits, has nothing to do with us and isn’t covered up when we play (like Chansiri’s name is). Traditions have been changed to reflect the owner’s desires but it doesn’t mean we have to like it and go along with it! Atletico Madrid fans have just got their owner to change their badge back because they weren’t happy, maybe they should have shut up?
Why shouldn't Newcastle have a Saudi sword incorporated into their kits and merchandise? Why shouldn't Forest have a Grecian urn or Everton have a Persian cat on their kit and full range of products?
Why not go the whole hog - and for Palace, Arsenal, Villa, Arsenal, Burnley and Liverpool to have stars and stripes (or even a groundhog) as part of their identity.
Because it's crass, insensitive, narcissistic and vulgar.
By the way, this is a bit of a eye-opener:

The Chinese dragon doesn’t , no , but it’s a small change in detail which possibly makes it an issue with the small window of opinion on here. The badge will more than likely get changed (again) when the club gets sold on.
There is rebranding at nearly every football ground in the country and I’d take that rather than being sponsored by some gambling or alcoholic beverage company any day of the week.
If you’re that concerned put your name down at the next fans forum ,( especially TBG) ,I’m sure your comments will be taken on board.
Newcastle have changed their away kit to Saudi Arabia colours

I got an email today saying "

Did anyone here get a positive reply?
