    It's at the bottom for purely practical reasons, if it was at the top it needed to be almost an inch above the badge and it looked odd.

    Would it have been copyright infringement to take the banner shape thing on the old badge where it says the Tigers and put hull city assosication football club in it?

    Can't see why it would be. Might be worth trying, might look betterer and stand out more. Might not.

    Sums you up, "confrontational". Please tell us you don't hold a committee post or anything of importance in HCST? Hardly the best way to build bridges is it? You snarling at anyone not in line.

    Yeah Kemps! New shed arrives in 8 more sleeps!

    Oh sorry, you should have followed up with a fish on a hook meme then, apparently. Mighta made it more obvious, instead of just being ****ing embarrassing you doing the "just taking the piss" thing when called out on it.

    I can't post photos on my iPad, you'll just have to imagine there's one.

    Hull City @HullCity
    TABLE: @HullCity are 3rd in the @SkyBetChamp table after the opening set of fixtures in the 2015/16 campaign

    This tweet is followed by pages of abuse about not using the club name on a league table, one of the few places where the FA rules do state the correct name should be used.

    It would surely be better to tweet nothing, than to tweet something that's quite obviously going to antagonise people?

    Clueless.

    I'm certain they do it on purpose.

    I love our nickname and prefer The Tigers to just using Hull without the City. If he'd used Hull Tigers, I could see the angst, and okay there are issues but I think sometimes people have got themselves so fixated, they've joined the fashion for hunting things to be offended at or excuses to get the pitchforks and flaming torches out.

    Reclaim The Tigers.

    As much as that made me laugh when I first saw it, I agree it does come over as a bit daft, and was asking for trouble.

    Is it our clubs marketing dept that's produced it? I looked over the Skybet Championship site and we're (as far as I could tell) only referred to as Hull or Hull City.

    It might surprise you to hear but after the last FA decision, I was hoping this would all go away, it's just unnecessary now.

    I think we can all agree on that, it's time to move on and the sooner those at the club responsible for these daft things realise, the better for all concerned.

    Id really like to know who IS responsible. I doubt Assem or even Ehab know or much less care about the clubs twitter account putting out league tables.

    It's such a shame too after the really awesome things that happened on Saturday. Not only the oranges and Omar, but the players and #staystrongrob thing they did. James Mooney clearly had a hand in those, so who is ****ing the good will up?

    The owners were definitely responsible for the removal of Hull City from everything (other than the Twitter account), I don't think whoever runs these accounts has necessarily been told to do it now, I suspect they do it because they think it's what the owners want and the daren't start calling us Hull City again until they've expressly been told it's alright to do so.

    For the millionth time it has nothing to do with you having a different opinion to someone else, this is a forum and you can freely post a different opinion.

    It has everything to do with you posting utter bollocks all the time and refusing to support your opinion. If you don't like something tell us why, if you think something is good tell us why.

    This after JM telling me off the other night.

    "Move on." "Let's be positive." "We're still Hull City."

    Wouldn't it be great if we actually could move on and weren't still being constantly poked by these things, just as I said we would be at the time.

    Yeah that league table just takes the cake doesn't it? Completely unnecessary and deliberately provocative.

    Back to the shirt would it have not been better to have it embroidered onto a flash then stitched on to the shirt to stop it clashing with the vertical stripes. Plus you could have just given them away for folk to put on themselves and save buying a shed load of shirts you might not shift.

    Great idea. Spend hundreds of pounds on shirts, and give them away. <doh>

    You ****ing idiot.

    People generally can't be arsed to sew things on themselves, particularly on a brand new shirt costing almost £50 and we can't get stuck with any, we're making them to order.
