The banner at the top of the screen is designed to be stylish and iconic, and I think the 'look' of it is quite nice. What bothers me though is whether 'Yid Army' is really suitable to have as the secondary phrase, especially when it comes to merchandise etc. What I would like to know is, if we get rid of 'Yid Army', which I am seriously considering, what should replace it? It needs to be something compact and snappy, so any ideas?

I understand the origins of how it all came about and i have come to accept the tag but its something that doesnt sit too well with me. So maybe changing it to 'come on you spurs' or something similar could be a better option. But hey thats just my own opinion.

I cant think of a replacement legend right now but I think its better replaced. How about Audere est Facere?

FA Cup Winner Posts: 1,401 Group: Super User Member #350 Joined: 03-August 06	you could just place the spurs101.com bit underneath the picture. btw i think the picture is a bit too robbie williams rather than robbie keane but hey i like the audere bit but dont you have to be careful about using names in case of registrations or trademarks? this is why i think a simple spurs101.com only slogan would look classic, simple and work well for merchandising. do i get a free polo shirt

I'm a Malteser Posts: 1,688 Group: Super User Member #781 Joined: 06-February 07	Here's my tuppence worth - either COYS or Audere est Facere - any Spurs supporter worth their salt know what they mean. Have already given my opinion re Yid army somewhere else, but in a nutshell, although I have no problem with it, know it makes some people uncomfortable

Posts: 9,531 Group: Moderator Member #80 Joined: 10-May 06	Here's what I would do... 1) do a mirror flip of the player sillhouette, so he's facing towards the right. 2) move the spurs101 bit higher up (currently the player's arm is in the way). 3) replace Yid Army with COYS! in the bottom right. Audere Est Facere would be just as good (actually probably better), but it might be too much text.

Kebabyuchenko xxx Hmmmmmm interesting but perhaps a little posh sounding. We need to keep it more relaxed and down to earth. I dont like the idea of COYS in the title because, well, its been done hasn't it!

101 Dork Posts: 6,585 Group: Moderator Member #277 Joined: 21-July 06	In the interest of moving this along, how about using Keano's left extended finger as the second "1" in "101" and put "Spurs 101) above his head.

It would almost create an arch with "Spurs" on the left, "101" being Keano and ".com" on the right. Does seem rather small.
