Leeds United fans seem happy to 'sell out'

I used the term sell out because that's apparently what those reluctantly accepting the rebrand are doing, myself included.

A simple browse around the football forums and most are welcoming it and accepting it's part of the modern game. Interesting given they're a side with more history than us and a larger fan base.



This was asked in the yorkshire evening post and that's the response. Quite overwhelming although it don't paint the whole picture but you can find that by looking around the forums.

If Leeds fans are willing to take a name change, sponsorship and a stadium renaming to be successful then is there a club out there who wouldn't? I'd argue 2 wouldn't take it - Liverpool and Celtic and it'd be detrimental to Liverpool whereas its fine for Celtic who continuously win the league each other.

Any other fan base would go for the money no problem.

Blimey, is a name change really on the cards too?

Comparatively we'll be the epitome of football tradition...

Just had a look and couldn't see a story about this anywhere... So I assume that this is just a hypothetical question being asked on Twitter?

Searching 'Leeds United Red Bull' brings up that story and the forum talk.

they will be playing in blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    

must be just a few of our fans that like living in the dark days

Leeds famously re-branded from blue/yellow to white back in the 1960s and they did pretty well thereafter.

Having done it once and enjoyed the benefits this proposal shouldn't cause too many issues for their fans.
