Yeah I think that’s spot on. They’ve had Nike and adidas doing their kits and I think they believe that makes them a glamorous outfit - whereas the truth is that the big manufacturers do kits for clubs at all levels these days (adidas and Nike used to only do kits for big clubs). It’s showing them that their kit deals were perfunctory - just another club for the manufacturers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Nike one is through Just Sport - not sure re the adidas one, though they were a PL club when they had adidas so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was direct with adidas. They definitely weren’t one of their ‘elite’ clubs like we are, mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Someone said it more concisely on here somewhere iirc but they get worked up or find weird things like the affinity with the Tyne Bridge, Keegan (and many others), a famous shirt number, Geordie identity, attention because they don't have their own equivalents. They're really bothered by people wearing Newcastle tops at any time these days so this will be discombobulating them, PTSD from their dreaded "90's" Edited June 7 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling tbh. Who would it feature, where would it be shot, what memories would they hark back to? We celebrate the region, and more specifically our club. We embrace the love we all have for the place, musicians and artists write songs about their affinity or memories of the place. I just don't get that same civic pride when I think of Sunderland, could be wrong mind but other than vaux and ship building I've got nowt else What you on about? They clearly have identity, in that they hate nufc more than anyone else. It's their whole reason to exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Alan Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) Sunderland have been blighted by bad decision making all my life but someone played a blinder when they chose Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights as their entrance music. The grandiosity of it might never have quite befit the likes Quinn, Ball and Ord but, and I'll whispher it, it's one of the best entrance songs in football. (I know it's got nowt to do with Wearside and they probably nicked off someone else but it's still good) Worst pre-match song award goes to Chelsea. Imagine trying to get pumped up to instrumental reggae. Edited June 8 by Monkey Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll have forgot a few superstars and their RTG valuations off this list, so feel free to add... But I mean, it's just amazing that this superstar filled side finished 16th in the Championship last season. How? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer something that the fans can interact with or is at least a bit catchy rather than standing there listening to Classical music before KO.

OpenC Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) Dance of the Knights is a grinding and lumbering fucking mess imo (I guess it's supposed to be, Prokofiev knew what he was doing) so pretty appropriate preferred us playing O Fortuna and would have preferred the Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem even more Edited June 8 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Local Hero" is far more iconic and the atmosphere at the ground when it hits is just brilliant imo - even when on the telly with the team line-ups being announced. Of course I am biased. Dance of the Knights just sounds like some cringe Darth Vader shit. Edited June 8 by Amir_9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I got this email from a north east activity company who promote “what’s on” and that. Tonight at 9.30pm, they’re live streaming a light show from the quayside. They’re beyond weird man. Have a rest from it all, it’s summer. They need to fill the void of not being Geordie for a few weeks. Absolutely lifting man. All for the new shirt I imagine? Broken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
