Something being revealed tomorrrow?

Any ideas.

https://x.com/burnleyofficial/status/18 ... oXof3Y3G-Q

Will be a 4th kit with the B logo replacing the Burnley logo.


I’ll get my popcorn out for this one. They’ve been quiet for a week.

New deal for Brownhill or that a twix will now be charge at £12

My first though that it could be a esports kit or a specific away kit for the women’s team.

It's something to do with the Pace 'B' by the looks of it

Something to do with that awful B logo they've conjured up. B could be Burnley, Barnsley, Blackpool, Barrowford Celtic.

Or ‘B0ll0cks’

It's the Twix dynamic pricing coming in for the next home game.

At he height of the half time crush on the Longside Upper concourse the price is predicted to rise to £125.

It’ll be the Forman launch of the B logo, having subtly introduced it to date.

Looks like launch of the chairman’s cap to me.

I don’t mind it myself, providing it’s not to replace the crest on shirts.

It’s on his cap and that’s where it should stay.

I don’t think those caps are for sale yet, and the B in the image looks like it might be on a cap, so imagine it’s that.

I like the B, it's not a new badge, just a new branding idea. I don't mind that.

The thing of posting out the date like that, the day before, is typically what MLS teams have done before their various 're-brands'.

Sometimes they have been full on re-brands - with a new team name but I doubt ALK are ready for that quite yet

So yeah, I'd bet on some sort of rebrand and merchandising around the 'B' with some associated 'community' thing attached to it so it doesn't look too much like a sales and marketing effort.

To be fair, they did the whole date thing on all the kit launches this year, but the fact they included the B this year will mean it’s something to do with that.

They've already done enough harm to the badge.

Me too, I think it has quite a nice clean look and would works better on certain merchandise than a badge.

On which note, I went in the club shop recently and some of the merchandise is so naff and cheap-looking it’s unbelievable.

I’m all for catering for every budget but outside of the Castore gear (which I thought was reasonably priced considering how expectations had been set), the offer is so bad.

When they signed that deal with Travis Matthews (or whoever it is), I really thought we’d be getting some good merchandise coming our way but it’s worse than ever. In which case any form of new brand is a bit irrelevant to me.

They’d have to consult with fans first, if it were a new badge.

The FAB will know. And it’s good, and you’ll
Love it, and they agreed it and okay’d it and approved it for the board who refused to do so without their input.



But they can’t say what.

You seem bitter, you could have volunteered and then maybe you would know, approve and not be able to say anything about it as well!

Nobody outside of Burnley will have a clue what the B stands for

With a 'No free-kick'clause hopefully. He's actually getting worse at them, who knew that was even possible??!!

An awful ‘rebrand’ if it’s using the B wider than just Pace’s cap.

Not at all and if I did and was I certainly wouldn’t go round giving it the big ‘un about knowing things when I had been told told not to mention anything.

Having seen who’s on the fab is quite clear some of them are there to tick some boxes

Can’t say. Club told me I couldn’t say. Didn’t say I couldn’t say I know though. You’ll love it!

Genuine question, is it possible to copyright a font?

Also, can you copyright a colour?, thinking specifically about the shade of Claret used in the season's home shirt.

OK, that's all, thanks.

Benny from Blackpool will/would be pleased.

With B being my initial. And the 12th September the 54th anniversary of my first ever Burnley game, and me becoming a claret. It’s nice of them to celebrate it!!

Is it a) announcement of American Football at Turf Moor
B) another Oasis gig at Turf Moor
C) ALK revealing the accounts in full
D) an England Under 21 game at Turf Moor
E) B for Bad news

What if it did have a rainbow flag? .

I think everyone on socials and here is over thinking this, it’s going to just be a new range of hats / clothing

Imagine getting so cross over a letter.

I've checked and no-one has registered 'Burnley Bulldogs' as a trademark.

Anyone remember the best things begin with B?

Yeah the club's heritage, identity & brand is 'just a letter'. Good one.

B is for babies, which a lot of managers cry like, after a decision has not gone their way.......

Stop getting so worked up

The “B” isn’t replacing the badge, it’s just an alternative
So what if the “B” could be for anything else

How many times in the past have to been on holiday in a Burnley shirt and somebody mistaken it for Villa or Hammers, if anything it’s a conversation starter

Stop being a drama queen.

Did anyone kick up such a stink when these replaced the badge on the shirt?


And there isn't even any suggestion that this 'B' will even be on the shirt.

We didn't have a club badge when the first of those two went on the shirt. It's not just the shirt though, the club badge seems to have been removed everywhere for this monochrome one.

The badge hasn't been removed though, has it? It's still the "monochrome one" is still the badge in essence. I prefer it to be honest, looks much more stylish. I can understand why folk are getting upset over 15 years of tradition being flushed down the toilet though.

It is not the badge though is it? They used the badge on the home shirt last season but I can't see it being used anywhere now.
