spin king junior 394 Posted December 18, 2016 Wow. I think that might scare the children! Wtf is that? Looks like something from a third party ps2 game. Speedway really is absolutely garbage at branding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Thumper 528 Posted December 18, 2016 Wtf is that? Looks like something from a third party ps2 game. Speedway really is absolutely garbage at branding. Well, I thought it was a really angry bloke with a pair of bicycle dropped handlebars taped to the back of his head. Allegedly, it is a picture of a certain Mr Angry from this forum, better known as ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted December 18, 2016 The plymouth fans like the new race jackets and do you really think it will frighten children!!!! Get a grip! It would be untrue to say that all of them do. The quote I got yesterday was 'awful'. In any case, its not them that you have to worry about - its the additional people that Plymouth will be trying to attract. As I said, it will be interesting to see what the reaction of the people of Plymouth is to that image being plastered all over the place. One person on Facebook said that his 3 year old daughter laughed it. My response to that would be that maybe he should get a big poster done - say 6ft by 3ft - and put it up in her nursery, then all the little ones could join in the laughter.

dazzafl 212 Posted December 19, 2016 i kind of like it... it brings a new era and a new face to the team... the older generation will still want the original logo from back in the day i guess as its what they see as the standard logo.. it needed bringing into the 21st century i reckon.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how you can call this a 21st century logo? It's literally a stock photo https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-images-devil-head-image6438094 bunged on a race jacket. Nothing about this is good, it's not eye pleasing, it gives no hint to what it's actually about. Simply put, it's lazy, it's more than likely cheap and gives off a bad impression to Plymouth and speedway itself. The sad thing is you can look at the majority of mdl logo and they're absolutely miles ahead of that of Plymouth and you can add to that the Isle Of Wight! Its rubbish like this that's put out that only makes the sport looks amateurish. It's something a whole lot of clubs need to stop skimping on and actually spend on their marketing and branding to make it a success. Again, just look at both the clubs websites, they're a mess! How can you seriously expect to attract any new fans or even sponsors when you're regularly greeted to poorly designed site that probably took an hour to throw together.
