To be fair to him that's probably exactly how he feels.

Here's a design statement from the designer himself.


With an attitude like that he can shove his badge. "I'm a designer so none of your opinions matter."

I kind of understand what he's saying, to a point, he's been giving a brief and met it. It isn't his fault that the brief wasn't going to meet the desired outcome, as in, discussion with fans and consultation. He did what was asked and that was that, however, making a 'design statement' is incredibly bizarre and something marketing should take control of, not the designer as this what happens.

I mean, this is just f@cking incredible to me. The strength of some opinions and then the reading of the designer making a statement as passive aggressive. Just incredible. I really, really don’t understand. I mean, there are real things that matter going on in lives FFS

Comparing football to Apple, Airbnb and Deliveroo show he maybe doesn't quite understand the passion shown by football fans. I do feel for him getting caught up in it but his passive aggressive ramblings don't sit well with me. I thought we were done with these kind of attitudes when the takeover happened.

Whichever opinion anyone has on the badge, it's just been handled poorly and we should expect higher standards in communication.

Can we move on to fixing the website for mobile yet?

Great point in fairness. You can't compare consumer brands with football which encompasses a lineage for a lot of people and is deep rooted in their sense of belonging in a community.

I’m not sure what’s funnier; the people getting angry about the badge or the people getting angry about the people getting angry about the badge.
