Cryptic tweet on Twitter

[quoonbeatz]

That ‘B’ looks like a crap 80s wrestling logo and cheap AF.

[burnley007]

When is this announcement??

[gandhisflipflop]

Brunch….

[burnley007]

Brunch….

well it's clearly not Breakfast.

Anyone remember the best things begin with B?

Yes! Lyrics by Salman Rushdie.

Such a good song, it's a shame we've not made a terrace anthem will rejigged versus

I've even seen some describe the letter B as Cheap as Fck

[ŽižkovClaret]

My educated guess is training kit / leisure wear launch.

[JarrowClaret]

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

Sorry just messing, I don’t get the issue with what they said about the shirts if I am honest they liked them which they are entitled to do, some of there comments about them were over the top though. Anyway I disagreed with what was said I thought all the tops were just a bit meh although I did buy the home 1 but I couldn’t get wound up over someone’s opinion on social media.

[CoolClaret]

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.

Nothing to do with being a 'drama queen'.

As CT said + it's cheap, looks very gimmicky and sanitises our brand.

We aren't a run of the mill, plastic, non-entity of a football club, nor a frigging franchise.

[dsr]

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.

If they changed the shirt to blue body and white sleeves, would it be still "the shirt in essence"? Colours, whether you like them are not, are an integral part of the badge.

[jedi_master]

This will just be leisurewear and caps etc.

[Claret Till I Die]

City have brought out a forth kit....

Is that just for their Scottish fans?

"Sanitises our brand" Blimey, It's a letter B.

[ClaretTony]

And it is not our club badge - it's something the chairman and his fellow directors wear on their caps and that's where it should stay.

[TheFamilyCat]

What a ridiculous analogy, the design of the badge and with it, the symbolism is the same.

Bearing in mind the design of our badge is predominently those famous Burnley colours of yellow & black, it could be argued it has no connection to the team.

Anyway, this is an opinion thing and mine, like yours won't change so best to leave it there.

[TheFamilyCat]

And it is not our club badge - it's something the chairman and his fellow directors wear on their caps and that's where it should stay.

I know it's not the club badge and is unlikely to ever be, which is why I don't understand why people are getting so angry about it.

[claretonthecoast1882]

As usual, it is more who is doing something rather than what is actually being done.

[ClaretTony]

Because the owners of the club are removing the club badge from what I can see. I don't see it used anywhere now.

[ClaretAndJew]

Removing it from where?

[ClaretTony]

Removing it from where?

Where do you see it now?

[ClaretAndJew]

Where do you see it now?

On our social media pages and the official website. And our kit. And the background in pictures of players signing/renewing contracts.

[Pickles]

Because the owners of the club are removing the club badge from what I can see. I don't see it used anywhere now.

It was removed entirely in 2009 and there wasn't much fuss at all.

[ClaretAndJew]

Sorry, I'm confused.

Are we talking about the badge itself disappearing or just the fact it's been rebranded and the colour has changed?

[Cleveleys_claret]

I may be in the minority but I prefer the monochrome on the kit and training gear, find it very nice aesthically and clean.

I personally don't think it's about getting away from our club badge just trying to being modern, all companies and business go through these phases, but yes, we shouldn't get away fully from our roots and keep the clunky version in visible places to retain the past

Where do we stop though.

We played in green from 1900-1910. Shall we keep that part of history? Where's the line?

I guess it's from when people who are still living's favourite memories of the club. Everything changes.

[Oo_George]

Has anybody found out what the cryptic tweet about 12.09.24 was actually relating to yet, or have I missed something?

[ClaretTony]

On our social media pages and the official website. And our kit. And the background in pictures of players signing/renewing contracts.

I can’t see it on the official website. From what I can see it’s been replaced with a monochrome badge.

[CardyTheClaret]

I can’t see it on the official website. From what I can see it’s been replaced with a monochrome badge.

So, they haven't removed it then? Just modernised it.

[ClaretTony]

So, they haven't removed it then.

They have replaced it which is the same.

[fidelcastro]

Bring back the old badge!

[ŽižkovClaret]

They have replaced it which is the same.

Wouldn't even be the 1st time though. Each person will have their opinions but hey, i'm not fussed personally.

Some good money to be made by the local tattooists in refreshing some faded old crest tattoos with the new design

[ŽižkovClaret]

You could argue, in fact, it is closer to the 1935 badge. How is that not being traditional?

[KernowHouseClaret]

I honestly don't see what the fuss is about, every company and business rebrands and modernises over time it's called evolution. As for the "B" that style of writing has been used in the word "Burnley" on the official website for a while now, I'm surprised no one has mentioned it already.
Some people have to have something to complain about

We’ve only ever had two official club badges. The first was from 1973 to 2010 and the current one from 2010.

So what makes a club badge official or not?

[ClaretTony]

So what makes a club badge official or not?

The club recognising it as such. In 1973 the club explained they were creating its first club badge. This was to allow us to have exclusive use of a badge which we could copyright.

In 2010, rightly or wrongly, we switched to the current one.

So didn't the club recognise any of the other badges up to 1973? This seems to make no sense?

We used the County Borough of Burnley Coat of Arms but had no rights on that so the club produced its own club badge which they had all rights to.

[DCWat]

I’m not against the monochrome badges. I think that they tend to work better, the colour being changed to suit the shirts or background that they are being used on.

It’s only a font I suppose, but I really don’t like the one that they’ve been pushing for the last season and more - it hardly strikes me as something modern, original or standout in a world where branding, marketing and advertising seems to be the be all and end all.

I could be wrong, but there seemed to be far less complaining about a complete change of badge under Kilby in 2010 than the monochrome change under the current owners (not just on here I hasten to add, social media too).

[wilks_bfc]

The 2009/10 change was for the 50th anniversary of Championship win and was only meant to be for that season. It just happened to coincide to when we got our most exposure, by playing in the Premier League.

The club decided that as that was the badge that the world would recognise, they would stick with it (just changing the Latin with Burnley Football Club)

But I agree, nobody seemed to be bothered then.

[daveisaclaret]

The announcement is that they want more money off us

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Is this the announcement? Another membership scheme
