I'm a regular contributor to the Tifo displays. 

But could me have something more inspiring.

I had no idea what the dull diagonal meant.  Sorry to say I found it disappointing.

A fox head, a fist, even ufs,.

 

These things can be very subjective. For example, i hate the 'kneel before his majesty' tifo someone attached in a post above. Clearly overblown, aggressive, professionally done, and massively up its own ar*e. 

 

I really liked this display, but understood the diagonal meaning. I thought the 'club we adore' phrase was epic, very personal, and meant something to everyone in the stadium.

From a marketing point of view there's no point in having an image that is "inaccessible" to most of the people in the stadium.

Suppose we had a questionnaire that asked Thursdays attendees if they understood the significance of the Tifo... I expect it would be a low score.

I like the work of ufs and support it.  I just want it to be recognisable and inspiring.

How they supposed to do that? 

 

The Tifos as far as I can tell are meant to be a 'surprise'  Questionnaires cost time and money each one has a different theme, the subject area is vast and it would be impossible to second guess what fans may or may not know and even more difficult to connect to therm.

 

I think you are being very naïve.

 

As I said it's not up to UFS to educate 100,000 fans (just a guess) world wide on the history of LCFC. Like in life if you see something you don't understand you have to seek advice or do some research.

 

One big plus you now know a little bit more about the history of LCFcs kit perhaps that will whet yours and other's appetites to find out more.

 

Anyway that's my last word on this debate/lecture.

If it really was a low score then we have many more new fans than I expected. The blue sash shirt was revived not that long ago and was worn by many fans (think we might have a kids size somewhere). As suggested, it's given those unaware a chance for some historical research which is never a bad thing :thumbup:

 

Ps. I've also chucked a few quid in.

Sorry dude but couldn't disagree more. I thought a nod to our starting point in both date and colours on night where we reached another first ever event was inspired. I would guess that at least 90% knew exactly what the reference was, if not more. 

Talk of marketing and being "accessible" etc is nonsense, this is the dying embers / resurrection (delete as applicable) of fan culture and should be embraced in this disgusting plastic sky sports generation age of sanitised football.

Leave the marketing to men in suits with crap haircuts, this is lads showing passion for their club, city and county and long may it continue in my opinion, but each to their own!

I understand the idea... but I did ask fans if they knew what it was about.

Considering it was 100% UFS, it was a good effort. I think those who were underwhelmed may be confused and think this was organised by the club?

 

 

Perhaps

 

Or alternatively, they could:

 

* Get involved 

* Put their hands in their pockets

* Shut up

The blue sash reminds me of that horrible night in Cardiff 😞

I thought the Tifo was fine, if you didn’t realise it represented an old shirt then shame on you.

 

jersey Budd’s version of When You’re Smiling is Shit (it should be Frank Sinatra or Louis Armstrong’s version).  HOWEVER, it’s an improvement on the stupid dance music they blare out and so I hope they play it every home game now and Ganda get behind it.

Quality tifo, individual to club and City heritage and someone has a moan.  Unbelievable Jeff.

 

You could have bet your house on it.

It was recognizable and inspiring to me, and I've been a fan for less than a decade.

 

(a discount copy of Foxes and Fossils is a good thing)

...he wasn't asking about the questionnaire as a legitimate way of surveying the ground, just stating that if you asked people the majority would not have understood the reason for the diagonal blue line.

Do players know that they can donate? Vardy could chuck in £10k and earn it back a few hours later.

I mean I know for fact King was a fan. Id guess most of the British lads think its the clubs work. Probs never really know.

 

Fofana shared a photo of the latest one. Kind of wish the club would tag the group in the photos or make it known it is a fan groups work.

Fofana seems like the kind of bloke that would actually donate if he knew about it. I think he flew a load of Saint Etiene fans over recently.

I've just set up a Standing order.

 

I agree with previous posters that it would be worth marketing the idea of people setting up regular standing amounts, for amounts they could afford.

Couple of points (I haven’t been told this and it’s my own interpretation) about the simplicity of design 

 

- UFS take a lot of stick when they do the large banners as people complain they can’t see the players coming on. The individual sheets means people can still do the latter. Didn’t have lots of time as well do the artwork 
 

- UEFA had to approve the design (or the club asked UEFA).
