Happinesstan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Q1 I'm 1 and 4. I'd like them to leave the tacky shite on a board that cam be wheeled about in front of camera and leave the architecture as architecture. But I know that they own the club and will do whatever they like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember It was 2011 when the bold, italicised and tightly kerned letters were put up. Around the time of the Sports Direct logos being added either side. Ashley probably got a three-for-one deal. As far as I'm aware the previous roman letters with proper kerning had been up and remained the same for decades prior before being auctioned on ebay.

Chris_R Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I've voted in the poll but tbh whilst I have opinions, really I don't give a shit. Yes I'd prefer discrete advertising. Yes I'd prefer the old font back. But I also acknowledge they own the club and can do whatever the hell they want with it and I'm comfortable with that because I know that we're trying to do the right things for the right reasons commercially, and that the money will be reinvested back into the team.

wormy Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 All I want is for them to not replace the particularly tacky shite coming off the East and Gallowgate stands. Even the standard hoardings around the stadium will look a ton better purely by virtue of (presumably) having some variety and not just being an SD.com sensory overload. And for the love of God the 'Newcastle United' font needs changing, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Personally think Newcastle United lettering on the East Stand backlit or done in a similar way to Everton's Goodison lettering would be class.

Wolfcastle Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) The old Newcastle United signage popped up during the 93/94 season. Like the redesigned dug-outs and tunnel - there was always something going on then...bit like now *by Wimbledon in late October - so between Sept/Oct 93, probably round about the time Euro'96 was awarded Edited December 6, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If its true about Shearer would it be the case that he has to give up his BBC stuff to do it and the "work" would have to pay according to what he was losing from that? I am not sure its a priority still about ambassadors feel like there is still so much yet to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Shearer was an absolute world class player and great icon of the club. And with him being a pundit, he's a fairly good representative in the media, means the club gets spoken about more than it probably usually would in its current state. But in terms of being in touch with what the people want, he doesn't have a clue. He is a legend for on-the-pitch stuff, but off the pitch his opinion isn't anything overly special that you'd tune in or pay good money for. Whereas with Keegan or even SBR, they brought a different level of depth and you'd read and listen to everything they say as not only is it going to be warm and passionate, it's also going to be pretty spot on and insightful. More than anything it is their values and ethos that represent the club above all else. Shearer was a bloody good player, my hero growing up like many but I don't rate him as highly as the others in adulthood in terms of him 'getting it'. He doesn't inspire me as much as the others in terms of what he has to say or in his actions. For what it's worth - I also think he'd be a PFM type of manager so it's a good thing his management career didn't quite take off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
