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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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.
