Its looking forward to the future, rather than backwards to the past. The key was it had to appeal to a younger audiance. I'm not overly keen, but I'm nearer 40 now so I'm no longer the younger audience! My biggest gripe is the black and the very small Leicester. At least we're not rebranding, that never ends well.

Also given the chance to learn at the exhaust of Sayfudtdinov who would turn it down? Yes good point, riding with top riders will always be beneficial to a young rider.

If the club is trying to use a new logo (still to ‘cartoony’ for me) to generate money however, they really do need to get their act together on advertising their product. To date, most of the merchandise available in the track shop has not been shown on the club website. The online shop has quite frankly been piss poor and embarrassing. Hardly a priority, but this would appear to require minimal effort to make this work. What improvements would you like to see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With regard to merchandise, just update the relevant section on the website to reflect what is available in the track shop. Pretty simple I would have thought.

Cross Roads 51 Posted December 6, 2023 Seems like Mr Lawson is at Leicester creating a mini track in the middle of the centre green great result for the youth development of the sport in a stadium that has great access, well done to all involved.Any chance can stay on a bit longer and do some further work on the main track…. Eye sight not what it used to be and some lights focused on the track and start line would be a massive bonus to me as well :)…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted December 7, 2023 I like the new logo, better than the previous two. The first logo when Leicester first returned was a bit too cartoonish, the second one I did not like the font at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heard he is also opening the track more often for practice. Bet his lad has signed for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
