We will be wearing “club font & numbers” on the shirts for tomorrows cup game

Will we still be in the competition then they are available to purchase?

Exciting times.

Hard to read at any distance, that font.

what's the question I'm looking for ?

'B' - That must have been a long meeting

This is just the start of it!

Telling you - the new Watford

Sanitised, overpriced yanky doodle corporate crap.

Apparently it’s an exciting initiative- doesn’t specify for whom, perhaps the company that has flogged them this drivel

Ah, not so.

It's been specifically designed for defenders to be able to read it as Lyle Foster bursts past them.

Where's Benny from Blackpool?
Give us a B

Awesome can they play at left back

I read an article on shirts the other week (the athletic I think) and it seems that all premier league clubs do this.

I’d say we are one of the last clubs in the Premier League to do it.

I actually think it looks a bit naff when we use Premier League numbers in different competitions.

We also used a different font in the Europa League.

Dont spoil things...

What's the issue. People will either choose to buy it or not

I wonder if people ever get bored of being so tediously down on everything the club does?

Be nice if more were a bit more vocal on not watching our club slowly morph into a gentrified Watford type?

I’m not specifically averse to it, but it’s just not my type

We did use a different font in the Europa League qualifiers despite the club suggesting this is a first.

My word. Fancy doing something that nearly every other Premier League club does.

Just watching Everton take a throw in with their club font/number. Not sure they are owned by “yanks” (yet)?

I’m just amazed how quickly all the good things from the Dyche era seem to have disappeared

same two, every single thread. Tedious

Is there anything clubs won't do to try and scrape a few extra pennies out of their fan base? When you think how big the TV deals are, stuff like this just comes across as tacky and smacks of desperation to me.

If we were heading in that direction we’d have sacked Kompany by now. Watford are a basket case and we’re nothing like them at all.

By the way, I won’t report your post as find that kind of stuff a bit silly without just calling it out directly to the poster, but I find the terms “Yank” and “Yankee” offensive and borderline racist. Given we have a number of US-based fans that post on here I for one would prefer you don’t use them.

Yank borderline racist - what race? Give over

Watford type with wanting multi club ownership, players as cattle etc.

Fonts for a one off game is one thing but what's this frigging horrid 'B' on a cap? It's horrific.

They already pushed it with the monochrome rubbish this year. What's next?

Sorry for wanting the club to remain with some unique identity, not just plastered with crypto crap and shoddy 'branding'

Would all the above still be bothering you if we were sitting 10th in the premier league? Because to me none of the above actually affects anything that happens with 100 minutes of football the team plays

Big if that!

What does the changing of the badge on social media, when it’s still fhe original badge on the home shirt actually do to affect what happens each game? Absolutely nothing. If the club hadn’t of mentioned the names and numbers changing nobody would of even noticed

We will see how long the badge as it should be remains on the shirt because it’s not just social media. Wouldn’t surprise me if they started removing the badge to get that hideous B on instead.

If we could have an FA cup strip with no gambling sponsor, I would buy that. Regardless of the font used on the back.

I half think you're a troll so not sure if I can be bothered properly replying -

Identity and branding means something - especially to a football club that's been in the heart of the community for 140+ years and certainly wasn't created by businessmen.

Wait till it starts to creep up more and more - this is just a start, what's next?

What will the next one be 'It's fine we were due a badge change anyway' and we're left with some monstrosity like that monochrome crap or even worse that 'B' on that cap.

Tred bloody carefully

I spoke to someone who said he had been at a presentation meeting, back end of last year.
Apparently, we are changing the club badge and it's going to be the design that JJ Watts cap has on it.
How true this is, I haven't a scooby.

We have had different variations of the bad on shirts in the past under old and new ownership, the 3rd shirt in 21/22 which was one of the nicer shirts over the last few years and wouldn’t of looked as nice with the original, it still has no baring on the on pitch performance. Calling the new ownership for doing it when we did it in the Europa league under the old ownership

Sorry that having an opinion that isn't "ALK are wonderful" and actually caring about Burnley Football Club in it's entirety upsets you.

If I think something isn't right then I'll express my displeasure - if I go too far then I expect the mods to issue me with a ban. I think I'm perfectly entitled to be a bit cheesed off with naff American NBA styled 'branding', am I not?

Could say the same about you trolling with your takes, I just don’t see how names and numbers and having a different badge on social media or shirts actually affects the important things which is the players on the pitch

Aye a one off font on a shirt Is nothing.

Rebranding in some monochrome/NBA styled nonsense can seriously get in the bin.

People don’t like change, they hanker for Grimsby away on a Tuesday night in Div 4.

And if you’re under 50, well you don’t have an opinion until you’re told the opinion to have.

You talk about the identity and branding of a club for over 140 years, why don’t you check throughout history how many different badges we have had and the different variations on the shirts it’s not just since ALK came in
