Quote: Fungus The Muffin Man "
Our devil is something to be heralded. We are the original red devils, our devil ( if they use the old style stick devil, not the McRae one) is our heritage. It's nothing like the united one and the stuff that the club shop has in with it looks uber cool IMO. The city reds logo is ok to use, but we should be using a combination of the 2 with mabe the devil to appeal to the older demographic who the heritage part of the club appeals to.

I don't really have an issue with the devil - but why didn't the club go with that instead of the 'City Reds' for the branding.It should have been one or the other;or both,as you suggest.
Leeds went from Loiners to Rhinos.Warrrington from Wire to Wolves.Widnes from Chemics to Vikings.
Presumably to capture the interest/imagination of children,and thereafter the family market.It must have worked as they draw larger attendances and their club badges/logos/crests are easily recognised.
There is not a red devil on the shirts.I cannot be a walking advertising board when wearing a track suit with a small red devil on it.
Perhaps the club should make the decision now as to how it wants to go - with or without the red devil or with or without the 'Salford City Reds' logo.No other club seems to be holding onto it's history but have moved forward under one umbrella/all rowing in the same direction.
When that happens we may get some items in the shop we would all like to purchase at a price which will make the shop have more custom than the expensive Man City shops.
( I should point out that FCUM,Man City,and Lancs.Cricket Club all have one crest that supporters can relate to.)
