City's New Kits - 2019/20

the idea is to build awareness to the game and team globally, not miss the opportunity. if you don't see that, and are nasty about it then your as shortsighted as the logo.
As shortsighted as the "logos" of the Chicago Bulls, New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago White Sox, etc., etc.?
 
Kits are taking a while to be leaked this year, aren't they? With any luck they've been reading our comments on here and have gone back to the drawing board...
 
Replace this with blacks or Asians and have a think about how bigoted you sound. And yes, it is bigoted. Immutable characteristics are immutable characteristics.
Can we not just agree that it's a mean spirited and ignorant sounding comment without having to draw some kind of false equivalence with racism?

I agree it was. Though I wasn't saying it is racist. I was saying it is bigoted. There's a difference. You can be bigoted against other groups that are the same race.

I suppose I could have used gays or transgender instead of different races. My point was to replace a group of people with another group of people who are what they are because of an "accident" of birth. So as you see, there was no false equivalence of racism. It was merely to highlight a bigoted statement.

So you meant xenophobic?

Maybe it was but just because another country is now heavily part of our market customer base doesn't mean we should change to suit.

Like have shite flourencent kits because surveys said they had positive results in one place or Kick offs at 17:00, to suit overseas tv.
As for having f.c. on the badge, well I prefer it but it isn't important, having the badge monochrome on the kits though pisses me right off

Xenophobic is a good word. It is bigoted but more specific.

I agree, the club shouldn't change just for marketing towards world wide fans it is trying to court. At least, I don't think it should. I didn't like the idea of Hull City trying to become/becoming Hull Tigers either. But, that's not my circus and not my monkey.
