Apparently the fist over the heart is known as the 'Leeds Salute'. First time I've heard of it. Terrible badge in my opinion. I've always quite liked the classic 1970's 'smiley' though.

Hilarious. Hope they keep it for the next 100 years. Or following the negative fan reactions switch to this up-to-the-minute version:

The heart of their identity was neither a white shirt or the name United.
Cluster Fuck.

It has a bit of a 'white power' vibe to it

The Tweet announcing it is odd too. Why even say. "6 months of research, 10,000 people consulted". That makes it look even worse, and a waste of time and money even if it was good.

To be fair, when I heard on the radio that it featured the 'Leeds salute', I feared much worse.

When do they next play West Midlands Village? Won't be as good as the match against South Yorkshire Blues. And what the fuck is with our name on PES? St Red? Would it hurt for them to put Stoke? It's the name of a town, nothing infringing on the FIFA series there. Even This Is Football had proper place names for teams.

By PES standards, the fact we had the first two letters of our actual name was a minor miracle.

Why is it a Leeds Salute?...... players from all clubs do it.....its so irritating.
Most players wouldn't recognise the badge they are saluting if you took it of the shirt.

Somebody should get a petition going in favour of this new iconic badge to encourage the owners to keep it...

They are not happy. Why do clubs feel the need to go meddling with traditions like this? I'd love to know who the '10,000 people consulted' were. That is hilariously bad. Makes our badly proportioned stripe fest seem like the work of a graphic design master.

Just lifted this from a Leeds forum, (not by a Leeds fan...)
Q: What do Leeds fans & their New badge have in common?.
A: They're both empty from the neck up.

Wish we were still rocking this bad boy: I didn't like the black being introduced to our kits, glad they got rid of it, take it off the badge and put red there instead. But then it wouldn't work. Why is it that everyone thinks they are armchair graphic designers? Including whoever the sodding hell drew the Leeds one.

Quite liked this funky number from the 70's. If slightly distortedly phallic. If yours looks like that you might want to go back to the clinic? They don't call me Picasso cock for nowt Lord.
