The logos are a consequence of what the club is and how it has to operate, so we have to accept them. The very very least the club should do is provide relatively plain shirts to tastefully service the logos of those brands. The strength of the British Steel logo is compromised when thrown onto the home shirt so close below that unnecessary chevron. A very poor design call by the club.
The shade of claret mentioned by MK Iron – completely agree with the principle of his argument.
The quality control and consistency at the club has been poor over the years, with many different shades of claret, many different shades of blue. All of these different colours / shades have been used on shirts, merchandise and every other club-associated items. Take a look at the Terrace tat in the club shop, what on earth do some of the colours used on stuff in there have to do with Scunthorpe United?
All of this aesthetic uncertainty (or carelessness) weakens the brand.
Someone (on here or the Facebook cult page) once slagged John Staff off because he knew the exact ‘pantone numbers’ (or whatever other colour codes were used in prehistoric times) for the club’s claret and the club’s blue. Someone should have listened to him!
