The Blades 🤝 Maneki

So it would seem*

No effing A

Keeping you on your toes .

Later today I'm making a Shepherds Pie with Turkey mince ( cue meltdown) - As rebellious as I get these days .

It’s literally scamming people out of money in an unregulated market. United are now promoting that and telling lies about the services the company provides. The logo itself I could not give a fuck about, it’s the fact we are promoting a meme coin which has zero intrinsic value being sold on the promise of gains of more than 1000%. Promoting this kind of stuff can lead to heavy financial penalties from the FCA.

as much as i agree with that i also have issues about regulated industries sponsoring clubs that have far more effect on supporters/General public like betting companies the sheer amount of money spent by these on advertising is i would argue worse and has a bigger effect on the general population

I like it. I like the colour difference between the home and away shirts and if I needed another excuse to buy the pink away GK kit for my 2 girls, a japanese cat on the front is it.

Not sure what the record between a sponsor being signed and then going bust is but it does feel like by Christmas we might stop having it on the front...

Just hoping this means we embrace the Japanese link and get Asahi in the ground, half time sushi and a roving Samurai at half time.

In fact, the club have just released some new lyrics for GCB...


You fill up my senses, like a gallon of Udon,
Like a packet of instant noodles,
Like a pinch of wasabi
Like a night out in Tokyo
Like a stay in an Onsen
Like Sheffield United
Come greatly honour you again...

The Club then have managed to make it sound significant.
Doesn't alter my thinking

We are pleased to report that we have a new shirt sponsor. Financially, it’s worth the sum of basically fuck all, but Stephen collects Good Fortune Cats. It was a choice between this and a local carpet dealer, but our CEO is more of a wooden floor man.

So a turkeymonitor’s pie then.

Euphemism?

 

[Grey Blade]

Are these guys suggesting Gus has a bit of a belly? And who the fuck is that meant to be in the middle?!

Is Kyle Walker making a comebacK?
Edit. Sorry . Wrong photo!

Genuinely, I'm loving this shit

I have just had a look at their website and it may as well be written in Japanese, because this crypto currency business is a different language to me.

I’d never heard of Maneki before today but these kind of ShitCoins have been around for ages now. Not a scam per se but it’s all based on emporer’s new clothes economics and people betting that there is always one person more stupid than you. Seems crazy, but when you unpack it, this is the basis for the most of the financial services industry for the last couple of hundred years (life insurance, deposit accounts and business / mortgage lenders aside). Google ‘tulip mania holland’.

Personally I find it less morally offensive than a betting company, but on the same spectrum.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Maneki is a cryptocurrency built on the Solana blockchain and inspired by the iconic Japanese symbol of good fortune, the Maneki-neko

I have no idea what any of that means.

For me, I've been involved with my beloved Blades for 68 years. While the world has drastically changed in this time, what has not changed is the pride and tradition of the red and white shirt.

The red and white shirt represents decades of pride, decades of crying, decades of happiness, and now we put this rediculous logo on the FRONT of our red and whiten shirt for all to see.

If we want a lot of shite and laughter thrown at us, then this is great and will generate it.

But, to me, I want to continue with my decades of loyalty and cash I have paid to SUFC. I'm ok with putting the name on the shirt in an appropriate but visible location but to put this cartoon character on FRONT of the red and white shirt will illicit lots of derision and dirty verses aimed squarely at the travelling supporters standing on the away ends on cold winter days and nights.

Get this logo off the short and just put the name.

Plus, if we are promoting goods and services, cryptocurrency is not the one! Its difficult enough travelling through life with our native currencies but to promote cryto, and in some respects the Dark Web, is wrong.

Just my view from afar.

Is that all you are concerned about, having the piss taken out of you or the club over a sponsor logo? For gods sake grow up.

I’d have thought the emoji at the side of the comment would’ve given you a clue that perhaps, just perhaps, I’m not concerned about a sponsor logo, but then if that’s all you’ve got to moan about, perhaps it’s you that needs to grow up?

You renegade…

 

[Sheffsteel]

The logo reminds me of something the clothing designer label "Evisu" would do, it has a Japanese vibe about it.

 

[Loco Blade]

Can’t we just have a massive dildo on the shirt just for shock value and a mention on talk shite ! I’ll chip a few quid in sponsorship

Still surprised that Rotherham have never been sponsored by Pulse and Cocktails tbh

 

[Loco Blade]

Jim White on talk shite … what a disgrace SUFC are having a dildo on the shirt ! Offending our female sports fans !

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Anyway what I want to know is: is the cat mascot going to be Captain Blade's sidekick, like that parrot he had for a while, or has Captain Blade just been told "Sorry old mucker, you're a furry now"

Does the club have a photo of Bedrock Blade?

Google ‘tulip mania holland’.

Tulip mania might well be a myth.

For instance, The Smithsonian

There Never Was a Real Tulip Fever

A new movie sets its doomed entrepreneurs amidst 17th-century “tulipmania”—but historians of the phenomenon have their own bubble to burst

No matter how bad it looks, it will never looks as bad as this cringeworthy monstrosity.

 

[Davalon]

Does a Union Jack automatically make you a brexiteer now?

Marginally better than the tedious 'flag shagger' that only seems to get thrown at us, the US, Israel etc.
