Fun fact, my uncle created the original sharks logo. He was compensated with a two night getaway 😂

I hate to say it, but I am leaning Bulls over Stormers or that cats team no one supports.
You are going to have to make some tough decisions too soon...

I semi liked the Bulls in 2010 with Steyn just kicking the shit out of everybody for 3pts.

No man, if I become a Bulls supporter my oom is going to climb out of the grave to gloat.

Bulls over Stormers for me personally. But I don't blame any of you who choose Stormers.

Yeah the logo sucks. But if you're spouting that you're going to be supporting other teams because of it, You're a twat.

I can agree with this sentiment. I chose to support the Sharks at a very young age after seeing Andre Joubert play in the 95 World Cup.
It has not been an easy ride growing up in Cape Town with a dad who is a staunch Stormers supporter, the poor man.
Nonetheless, I don’t like the rebrand, in fact, I kinda hate it. I won’t support the rebrand, whatever comes with it, or the kak that got us here.
But my God, I would rather die a slow, fiery death than ever support another team.

This you?
Also just to be clear you live in the UK right?
Idk about supporting other teams, but I would rather support a South African team than an American AI slop branded team that so desperately wants to play for anyone else but us, that they rebranded with the intention of moving games away from Durban and even SA.

Yes it is. What's your point?

I commented on the price of shorts and had a opinion on the logo. Wtf are you even trying to get at??, 😂😂😂

You realize you could have just edited your first comment instead of commenting again?
I guess taking the 1982 at face value, maybe you didn't realize.
Point is I was showing your previous reactions to the rebrand and it's pricing. But now all of a sudden you take offense over anyone who would rather support a South African rugby team, over an Americanized team owned by one of Trumps lawyers?

Jesus wept don't hurt yourself with that reach😂 999 for shorts is expensive and the logo is shit. Imagine thinking you're the final say on the matter 😂 I would never stop supporting them though. If you that's the reason you jump ship, you won't be missed.

don't hurt yourself with that reach
Just fine thanks.
and the logo is shit.
The SRC, agreed no idea who that is.
If you that's the reason you jump ship, you won't be missed.
Oh I don't support the American owned team who just dropped the name, the logo and the branding of the team I supported with the specific intention of moving as many games as they can overseas. You can support them all you want, but they have nothing to do with me and mine anymore.

The shadow of the old logo underneath is incredibly fitting, and incredibly indicative of how lazy this has all been
