Hopefully this red bull deal will happen, the club is crying out for it.

Real madrid were playing in white at bournemouth last night?

3.) 22 Jul 2013
Same colours as our new away strip

Thats their away kit, their home kit is White and red. As is that of Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig & Red Bull Brasil. They all hace identical badges too! As soon as they get involved with a club they change the clubs name, systematically remove any trace of the clubs individuality, history & soul. I'm gobsmacked that anyone would think 'linking up' with these people would be a good idea. don't get seduced by the idea of their money, they would have no interest in our club other than turning it into a giant advert for their revolting sugar filled drink!

Your a glass half empty kinda guy aren't ya!

They are not rebranding anything. They might do this if they complete a full takeover but its just investment being spoken about. They will just advertise with stadium and training ground names. don't worry

I'm not a 'glass half empty guy' I'm a realist and judge people on their words and deeds and in the words of Red Bull themselves "we do not sponsor and never will' (taken from a letter to fans of Salzburg who expressed concern over the their rebranding) They are only 'investors' at Leipzig as German league rules don't allow companies to hold more than 49% in a club, however they still managed to change the name of the club, the club colours & badge to fit their 'brand'. I know we need investment but not at the cost of our heritage (They also told Salzburg fans that the club history was irrelevant) If it's a stadium naming rights only I have no problem with that but history would seem to point to fact that it will not end there

8.) 23 Jul 2013
But when they took over the MetroStars, they rebranded and kept the history, so nobody knows what they'll do SHOULD this happen

9.) 23 Jul 2013
Even if they do agree to acknowledge our history do you want the club to be 'rebranded'? Surely that takes away the clubs identity. I am surprised that any Leeds fan is not worried about the possibility of a 'Red Bull Leeds' franchise with the carbon copy, corporate i'd which has no connection to the city of Leeds. My hope is that there are football league rules limiting how far they can take 'rebranding'. Only time will tell.
