The logo I think looks good - but this corporate/marketing speak is ludicrous.

Its not 'clean' enough to be marketable and will get an overhall, if you look at all the prem badges almost all have had some kind of change in recent times. Maybe a stylised carrot?

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 22 hours ago, EnclosureSurge said: Juve are 'Italy's team', more popular everywhere in Italy than in Turin itself. Turin is full of Torino fans. Italy is full of Juve fans. It's a well-known saying. In Turin, at least. The comparison with how Man U are 'popular' across England doesn't even come close. You go to almost any Italian city, of varyng sizes, and there will be a Juve Fan Club with a sports bar dedicated to them where Juve 'fans' watch the games. In the old Stadio delle Alpi Juve's crowds, even at the height of their creative brilliance with Platini, Boniek, Tardelli, Rossi etc, their crowds were pitiful. Not even The Divine Ponytail, one of the greatest Italian players to grace the game, Bobby Baggio, could persuade more of them to turn up. This was one of the reasons behind their move to a new stadium (via the Olimpico) where they now get bigger crowds. But this doesn't disguise the fact that, proportionally, they are greater supported outside their home city than any other team in the bel paese. Milan is the industrial heartland of Italy and obv a rival. Therefore it makes economic sense to launch there, plus provide a snub to the two Milan clubs, currently in the doldrums competitively. The bitterness/rivalry is that fierce, Juve would love to rub their noses in the fact they (Juve) are top and have been since re-emerging from the calciopoli scandal and show no signs of relinquishing their grip on lo scudetto for a good while yet. A grand gesture, relaunching yourself under the noses of your so-say rivals (Torino pale into insignificance, more's the pity). Italians love a gesture, a bit of drama. Why play it so staid and stale launching a new 'brand' at your own house? Go and do it in the face of those 'nearest'. It's an odd choice to us, but then we don't have a team of England like Juve. A bit like Man U? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
