While I'm a bit wary of bringing up the subject of Landon Donovan... 03:45 - May 28 with 4850 viewsTummer_from_Texas

I've got to give props to my friend Karl from California, who was sporting his Stateside Jacks T-shirt when he met the USMNT's all time leading goal scorer.



And yes, we (who are calling ourselves "Stateside Jacks" now, not my idea but as good as name as any, I suppose) have begun internally merchandising as part of our campaign to build club support over here. We even have some cool scarves.

Yeah, I do wish they'd made the logo bigger..

I'm getting a couple scarves though which Melinda and I will wear in the UK next time we visit.

Grow up. They're trying to get support for the Swans in America.

Snidey comments as usual.

What are they trying to promote, the swans or the American flag? Just an observation, nothing snidey, or usual about my opinion.

Ok, full disclosure now. It's all a front to promote the flag.

I don't mind that T shirt but I think the morphing of our logo into the stars and stripes on those scarves is a terrible development, although maybe not unexpected . Sorry Tummer.

Proud to have been one of the 231

If you want to be a true fan and integrate why bother with the USA/Stateside stuff. Wear normal merchandise and promote the Swansea brand.

Not really bothered, and it's nice to get new converts, but what's wrong with our actual real club merchandise and badge exactly? We are not an American club and have zero connection with any flag except one with a big dragon on it. Or a red white and blue one if that's your bag.

Should we expect Bathgate jack to design a saltire based swan for the Jock Army next?

Wouldn't have any problem with it if he did.

SCFC can be a broad church. If personalising the badge makes people feel like more of a part of things then all power to them.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Looks good, you crack on fellas, ignore the usual snide feckers on here with their village mentality, as long as you follow scfc through thick and thin I don't care, you could be an outer Mongolian suppporter with you flag mixed in, as long as the love for scfc is there, yjb's

To be clear, it's something a fan designed, not the club.

I'll leave the fashion critique to the mumsnet brigade.

He said that he wanted to bring up BB, but didn't have time for a drawn out conversation.

Serious question.

If I recall correctly, permission was granted by the club.
