Looks a bit like a 1930s Stalinist poster to me.


Couldn't really care less what Leeds United do though; it's their club, not mine.

I agree with those on here who are reminded of Nazi imagery. It is certainly not helped either by the MD’s comments about ‘strength in unity’...rather clumsy choice of words when accompanied by that new crest image.
Good luck using that as a global rebranding.

They claim they spoke to 10,000 fans. I can only assume they were opposition fans.

But think of the monetary benefits to the club, as their 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 fans all rush out and buy new home and away shirts, caps etc they will soon be able to afford a team that may be able to sustain a promotion challenge for longer than 2 months

If you're on Twitter, read Stan Colleymore's thread asking what people think. There's over 800 replies to date.

At our end of the A62 we've been calling them "Chest Wankers" for years.

They're just reinforcing that now!��

Wow, apologies if this has been answered already but is that real??

Wow.

New club crests usually divide opinion on here, but THAT?

That's this bad.

Whoever came up with the caption "W@nking Arm Together" on twitter is a genius.

Apparently LUFC consulted 10,000 fans before settling on the design. Marvellous.

If you turn it upside down, it looks a bit pornographic...

Within an hour of the new crest being revealed, almost 3,000 people had signed an online petition to have the badge changed.
