I mean did you see the font they used for the tifo last week, every time i mention it i get shouted down but i dont think im wrong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraktur
There's a lot of pretty heavy anti-Semitism in our fanbase that isnt hidden every well
So frustrating, they just parrot the same two things every time, theres a pub in Tottenham that uses the font and we once had it on our shirt like 20 years ago.
As if those two things trump all the negative connotations, its just weird
I also just kinda think having a latin tifo is a bit odd
I was told it might have been bad in a German context, but just traditional in an English context. Leaving me to try and explain there might be a Jewish context…
On the levy graphic posted above. I mean I really don’t like the guy but ffs I don’t want him assassinated. There’s definitely a violent vibe to it that is really horrible
Had no problem with it going back to the original motto, even quite liked it, but it needed a super clear font to make it legible. As it was it was pretty much illegible and OMG what a totally predictable disaster the bits of paper were. The Levy out poster is way more sinister.
The Levy out wins hands down... You are of course entirely correct, what a discussion to be having. At least on Bluesky we're having a rational conversation about it, rather than promoting the tropes on the hell site.
It’s bizarre to use Latin. But I went for a friendly slogan-ok-font-definitely-not approach, to try to be positive about the elements that weren’t actually making me think of nazis. Fat lot of good it did me lol

As for the cross over Levy's face, all it needed was 4 more lines and it would probably have exemplified far better what the authors stand for.
Like its our slogan fine and have it on the crest etc but for a tifo it seemd odd, maybe just me
"Throughout history" they say and give 4 examples 😂
Apart from that it was all good.
