Tattooed rugby fan reacts to club’s logo change

As a die-hard fan of the local rugby club, the recent news of a logo change has sent shockwaves through the fan community. The club’s iconic emblem, which has been proudly displayed on jerseys, merchandise, and even tattooed on the bodies of devoted supporters like myself, is being replaced with a new design.

For many fans, myself included, the logo represents more than just a symbol of our team. It’s a part of our identity, a badge of honor that we wear with pride. Seeing it changed feels like a betrayal of our loyalty and a disregard for the club’s history and tradition.

As someone who has the old logo permanently inked on my skin, the news hit especially hard. The tattoo served as a reminder of the countless memories and emotions tied to the club, and now it feels like a piece of me is being erased along with the logo.

While I understand that logos are often updated to modernize the brand or attract new audiences, I can’t help but feel a sense of loss and nostalgia for the familiar symbol that has been with us for so long. I hope that the new logo will eventually grow on me, but for now, I’ll cherish the memories and sentiment attached to the original emblem.
