YellowBlood 0 Posted December 11, 2013 ...were in future taken over by some rich foreign businessman and he rebranded the colours, badge and/or name similar to that of Cardiff or Hull. How would you feel about it? Would any of you walk away from the club forever? I just read an interview with a former Cardiff fan who felt that strongly about his club''s rebranding that he''s now walked away from his club and refuses to support them anymore. Could make for interesting debate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted December 11, 2013 Would hate it to happen but don''t think I could walk away, I''ve been supporting the club for too long to stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,164 Posted December 11, 2013 It wouldn''t matter the slightest to me. The Club is still Norwich (as in the City of) and I love Norwich as only an exile can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 704 Posted December 11, 2013 I was thinking the same thing myself.There has to be a tipping point somewhere where the club loses it''s identity. Say we had to play in light blue and we''re called Norwich sharks or some such. Would you really feel it was the same club?For me I would stay and protest. Keep wearing the yellow shirt and city till I die sort of thing but if over time newbies came and started to accept the new idea then eventually I think I would have to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redders Right Foot 22 Posted December 11, 2013 I''d be beside myself as it is essentially changing tradition and somewhat the club itself. but something such as this shouldn''t be enough to change anyones support for the club itself. the support towards the owners, however, that is a different story.

Crafty Canary 495 Posted December 11, 2013 I couldn''t walk away however the colours and the name are sacrosanct for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted December 11, 2013 We already have different colours - the away strip. Should only be used when colours clash imo, but I presume we are "contracted" use it. Why we can''t wear green and yellow away for 99% of away matches is beyond me. Commercial issues? Pah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted December 11, 2013 I''d be suprised if many of the happy clappies would even notice - as long as there was someone to tell them when to stand up, sit down, ''sing'' and when to go home. It''s all about the experience and that can always be enhanced without too much regard for what goes on on the pitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted December 11, 2013 Didn''t we play in blue originally and rebranded to yellow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted December 12, 2013 [quote user="Dean Coneys boots"]Didn''t we play in blue originally and rebranded to yellow?[/quote] we did, we played in Blue and White, very similar to Blackburn''s kit. We moved then to all white then to yellow and Green in the late 90''s the club changed the kit to all yellow which didn''t go down so well. I remember hearing something at the time that it was meant to lead to a bigger rebranding of moving us from all yellow, to yellow and red, then possibly to red as part of the Colmans sponsorship at the time. not sure how true that was though.
