Agreed to some extent.

In Poland only one TV canal can broadcast a given league. It used to be Canal Plus showing all the best foreign leagues plus the Polish Ekstraklasa. Now we have Canal Plus showing only BPL and Ekstraklasa while Ligue 1, Serie A and LaLiga is on Eleven Sports tv channel. I'm not sure if Canal + resigned from the three above mentioned leagues or they were outbid by Eleven. The point is, Serie A is still a product in high demand. Not as high as BPL but it's still expansive. So if some station has BPL, the other tv stations will pay a lot for the remaining leagues to be able to show anything. Since Ligue 1, Serie A and LaLiga are still top leagues, the TV channels will be willing to pay the inflated price.
It's 2nd highest salary league and probably more popular then most or the others due it's history and pure passion. But I mean in demand now for itself, the league doesn't have enough draw to be able to renegotiate their terms to considerably higher share, casual fans don't give a damn about the league, and that's where most new money comes from. The infrastructure and shape of its overall brand is declining more then improving, so as an entity it needs to decide collectively to get ambitious and rebuild. Andrea Agnelli has been harping in about past 2 years to deaf ears.


Btw it's pretty awesome now to be a football fan in Sweden this season, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and EPL are own shown by the same broadcasting company (over 4 - 5 different channels). That's pretty much monopoly and they give plenty of time to show each league fairly well.

It does make a lot of difference to me. Supporting a club is all about identity. The club becomes part of your identity. The emblem is a vital part of a club's identity, as is the kit, the anthem, the name and other stuff.

I absolutely understand the need to update it and make small changes.

But absolutely revamping it out of nowhere, to a completely different thing? Absolutely not.

A football club is not a simple product. It involves much more than that and it must be considered.

To me this shit seems unreal and very, very disappointing. A simply loved that logo.

If they changed the name of the club to Piemonte FC but you could still watch Marchisio & co doing their thing how would you feel?
So true mate. Today I had to fucking defend myself from bullying at work because of this fiasco. Thanks God most of them were the Notts Forest fans so it's easy to strike back.

+REP for that post btw.

Thank god they didn't realize our old logo was the same as Siena's or else the bullying could have been more harsh.

The emblem I agree is part of our identity, but a small part. Our coaches, players, presidents are all part of our identity. Things change, and the club changes. The Delle Alpi was part of our identity, but we got a new better stadium.

Of course there are certain things that should never change: our name, our Italian core, being Torino based, winning above everything else - but we can't expect to never change anything. If we never change, we will become obsolete.

You mentioned the stadium. It's a good example. The new stadium is an improvement over the last one, but it kept its structure - it's still a football stadium. It's not something unseen in the world of football like this. It's like a new logo, with some modifications on the emblem, but still a football logo. Not the full negation of the whole.

You don't have to completely negate tradition to become markeatable. As I said, a football brand is different from general brands and should be treated as such.

If - and a big if - this helps the club somehow towards marketing abroad, it could be at the cost of the club losing a bit of appeal among their own established fans in Italy. It's heartbreaking, to be honest. Modernizing the club should be done while preserving its identity.

To me, this is an important modification with something that matters a lot to millions of fans, all for the possibity of maybe improving the merchandising a bit. Big risk - low reward.

If we are real about commercial revenue, start retaining big names like Pogba, improving performance on Europe and working towards a better league. This branding move doesn't move the needle, while it may hurt a lot of people who already support the club.

Clearly we don't agree on the value of the crest :D It was always just a plain, generic football emblem to me anyway and it's only value is to identify that this is Juventus, which this new logo will do equally well. But if you feel otherwise I won't try any further to sway you.

I feel the opposite: the generic one is the JJ. Type it over google and you will see thousands of companies using this. It actually follows the general tendency of minimalism spread around the world.

The identification of the club was done with the current one, with all its details and everything.

And the current one can actually be considered ugly or beautiful. To me it is indeed one of the most beautiful around. The JJ is easy to recognize, but that's it. It's so minimalistic that it's not about being ugly of beautiful. It's too small for that. It simply exists.

You show a kid a United symbol and a JJ, I have a guess which one they will pick.

I liked Juventus as a kid because of the name. These stuff are that important.

The only advantage is that people may buy necklaces and stuff without even relating it to football.

People don't even have to follow the club to buy gear. If you're looking for a gift for your nephew and you see a cool looking black football with the Jj logo, or a lame red ball with just Nike on it, god chance you'd go for the better looking ball.
yeah, you're right. The odd random generic logo or the world wide brand of Nike.

I like it as a logo..
Can be used for marketing in different ways. First thing that came to my mind, the J hotels around the world.

As for the logo and changing it.. what makes Juventus.. is its tradition and values..not the logo.. keep winning and people will forget about it and will accept it..

I was wondering before why the logos of football clubs should be of animals or so. Why it's not a simple one that when I buy a t-shirt, suit, etc. I can wear it in the normal occasions.
I could not imagine myself wearing a suit to work with the old Juve logo.. it would not be the right thing.. now I would wear it and no one will make any funny comment about it.
I see lots of people buying more of J clothes..

they will choose United because they like United, not because they have an awesome emblem.

Anyway I think more people will come around to it, or simply get over it

And we have Adidas... point was people buy shit if it looks cool.

take a non juventus fan, show him a adidas/nike shirt and a J shirt, both look the same and both cost 49€, majority will buy the adidas/nike one over the no name J one.

Because one is a global clothing brand, and the other one is a no name for non football interested people.

It takes years, decades to establish a brand like this.

People buy names, brands, they dont even base it on look or even quality. The name alone sells their stuff.
