If you guys are going to keep making these kinds of posts, please, just use some common sense regarding how you phrase things. Think before you type. You don't want to end up hitting those legal red flags—things like making direct threats or launching brutal, personal attacks against someone's kids. I’m not just being dramatic here... I actually know a guy who nearly landed himself in federal prison just because of a single forum post targeting a police officer in a major city. Don't fall into the trap of thinking, "I'm just behind a screen, nobody knows who I am."😉
Besides, there is absolutely no reason to go at it so publicly. Doing it this way just hands them all the evidence they need on a silver platter if they decide to come after you for those "actions" later on.
Look, I totally get why everyone is seeing red right now. People are fed up and completely done with being harassed, but don't forget that this isn't some petty neighborhood feud where people are just bickering over a fence. A judge isn't going to look at it that way. This becomes a matter of "fan vs. the state," and trust me, the rules are different there. Just look at the recent legal precedents involving NFL fans... if you catch my drift. Just... use your heads! 😉

Just one little observation/question/critique here—and I mean this in the most good-natured way possible—since these shirts keep coming up in conversation. I honestly have no clue who handles the group's marketing or how the whole fan shop setup works, but in my opinion, we are absolutely bottom-tier when it comes to this stuff. It’s honestly embarrassing. Now, please don't come at me with those "we aren't fashion models" or "do it better yourself if you think you're so smart" excuses, but has whoever is designing these things ever actually heard the word "design"? Take these North Corps shirts, for instance. They’ve put three different "styles" up for sale, each with five motifs (which, by the way, have already been used on a billion other products), and all they did was throw them onto the shirt in different orders and positions, calling them three brand-new designs. I mean, seriously? How can you have North Corps, a Stone Island logo that says White Boys, and then NFL Ultras on the hoodie strings all on one shirt? 🙂 ...And then to top it all off, they splash random colors on the sleeves, then more patterns, then some text underneath... Or look at this other one: it says White Boys, then there's that edgy guy in a hoodie, then that shield with the "h," then NFL Ultras on the strings again. And the next model is the exact same crap, just swapping in North Corps, the 1950 guy in a hoodie, and that same "h" shield (which has also been plastered on countless other items before)... Do you see what I'm getting at? It all looks cluttered, messy, and completely tasteless. It feels like they're just churning things out to sell to the widest possible mass of people who will buy whatever catches their eye, because to them, it's all about making it loud, colorful, and symbol-heavy, rather than making something for actual members of the supporter group.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to start a huge debate or dwell on this, and it's certainly not the end of the world, but consider this a bit of constructive criticism that might be worth keeping in mind for future work. Let's be clear: not everything produced has been terrible (there have been a few flashes of brilliance with certain products that were actually decent). But in my view, I'd much rather see three high-quality, meaningful shirts released a year than twenty mediocre, repetitive ones that are well below average.
It’s because hardly any of those armchair internet critics actually manage to score a ticket to a game like this. At the match, the energy was overwhelmingly positive—you could really feel that vibe throughout the whole crowd. As for the people stepping into leadership roles within the organization and everyone else operating on the ground—from our local branches all the way up to the main headquarters in Miami—once we establish true cohesion and start hitting our goals with real intensity, things will change. In a year or two, once everything settles into place, we’ll be miles ahead of the competition in every single aspect. It’s all about hard work and staying upbeat!

Seriously, are you guys all losing your minds, or what? What is even the point here? Are we really going to start airing our dirty laundry on public forums and calling each other out over internal group drama? You’ve got one crowd of losers who want to drag everything back to how things were ten years ago, and then you’ve got the "pretty boys" who are too soft to even step up against the cops... so where does that actually get us?! If there are issues that need addressing, they should be handled privately between the crews and the people involved. I don't see why we need to broadcast this nonsense online and crank up unnecessary tensions like this. Just act like adults, for once... at least to some degree...
P.s. I'm not planning on getting dragged into this debate any further. Peace.
