JoshTheOwl Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I mean I'm looking at the club website now and I can't even find the new home shorts? Was planning on buying 2 pairs tomorrow. All I can see is the away ones and last seasons?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KivoOwl Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Surely the Kop badge could have had a new background too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 New kits - late club Shop - a mess online shop - a mess season tickets - late members cards - late why is anyone surprised? Clearly the club can't organise a pi55 up in a brewery. Good job we appear to be able to handle transfers a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what someone does who comes in and wants to leave a legacy, they look around to see what they can change. It's still SWFC, we have a bit of pride back after years of being in the doldrums. I swear some people on here are suicide candidates. I personally prefer the old Owl but I won't be wasting any of my time telling people that, because quite frankly - I'm not that bothered and I am looking forward to tomorrow. I'm looking forward to another successful season on the pitch. Fancy that. Why couldn't his legacy have been re-establishing us as a decent Premier League club? Why does he have to make a statement by changing the badge and the kit (both for the worse in my view)? His legacy should be based on successes - not aesthetics. This is what bothers me most - it's so unnecessary in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Why did they need that white background again? Why not just mount it straight to the cladding or on a mounting that is slightly smaller than the badge? Oh, cause they would have to paint the stand...? Proper poor effort this.

Surely you'd finalise these things before going ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know from being on here that this would result in a minimum of 5,000 different opinions! How the hell do you set about reconciling that? Much better not to ask and just get on with what you feel is right; as the owner of the club you have actually purchased the right to do that as long as you don't fly full in the face of time honoured tradition (And remember the shirts have not traditionally always been straightforward stripes, nor has the badge always been the same) Anyway,referenda ought to be outlawed; they are an abdication of leadership - look what happened last time we had one....................oops, sorry, this was not intended to be a political post.

I actually much prefer the proper b/w stripes too but you know there were serious changes not only in the 60s but also 70s/80s/90s. My point is that you cannot ask for a vote on everything you are seeking to change. It would result in chaos. The chairman is the chairman and I believe that gives him certain rights and privileges that we do not have. If we cannot stomach what he does then we have to protest but for goodness sake he shouldn't have to ask for permission every time he wants to do something. That's blatant nonsense.

ashley8 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Mandy said he was a custodian of OUR club. Chansiri uses 'traditional' as reasoning to change our badge and kit. I think he has got the football bug now but he has to remember we have been here through thick and thin. We followed our wednesday. Him spending money is fantastic. However being a dictator and loosing our identity as our wednesday, will end up in even the happy clappers turning on him in the end. Premier yes but not as a different club 'Chansiri FC' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Think it's fairly safe to say stuff 'behind the scenes' is still being done very amateurish. Fortunately everything involving playing staff is utterly fantastic. I'm sure the semantics of things like merchandising, agreeing on what our badge actually should be etc will fall in to place over the next 12 months, and it needs to because it's borderline shambolic. Fortunately, where it really matters, we're utterly fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
