Wow. but if they already play in the desert lands of China (they don't even release the official audience of those games, since they would get ashamed by that), nothing's gonna surprise me anymore by them...

Yep, quite different design, since peoples were used to the classical logo we had in the last 20 years, this change is a bit brutal At least they kept the national emblem as the main thing, just changed the three peaks by 3 raised sticks - symbolizing victory as players raise their sticks after scoring a goal Well, the positive is that this is still by far better than the Olympic PC 2018 trash Slovan had a very bad start, that´s sure, but it´s still only the start of the season, and they started with a very hard trip. I think this year they have a really good squad, so they just need maybe few more games to adapt more and I am confident this year they´ll reach the play-offs. Today they play in Yekaterinburg and hopefully they´ll finally got some positive result boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
