The vote of the new shield of the FC Barcelona, postponed

The modification of the shield of the FC Barcelona will have to expect. This Saturday, the Managerial Board has decided to withdraw the sixth point in the order of the day, that did reference precisely to this appearance. The reason have been the multiple requests of the compromisarios, that propose that the vote do by means of a referendum.

It is necessary to remember that this modification of the shield has several points. The first of them is the disappearance of the acronyms 'FCB', something that supposes that the Barcelona bands grow upwards and that enhance the different symbols that conform the shield. In this way, the symbols of Barcelona, Catalonia, the balloon and the Barcelona flag would obtain prominence in the shield.

Jordi Cardoner, first vice-president of the Barcelona club, remembered that the new proposal of shield is an adaptation of the mark Barça to the times that run. "It is not a whim but a project of mark to keep on being a world-wide referent. It does lacking to update us and innovar in all the fields. It is not only the shield, is the project", remembered.

Josep Maria Bartomeu, president of the FC Barcelona, took the word to explain that "what will do today is to withdraw the point in the order of the day. And we will do an internal reflection in the Board to see how can conjugar the history, the digitalisation and the technology with the feelings, as you have asked us". After this, several compromisarios asked to vote and, shortly after, some abandoned the room.

New explanations of Bartomeu

The president of the FC Barcelona explained that so that the vote can do by referendum, it was necessary to change the statutes: "For the directors of the club the legitimacy recae in the assembly of compromisarios, so that it go by referendum would have to change the statutes. In the year 2014 did the second referendum in the history of the club, are not a club to do a lot of referendums. The compromisarios are those that have legitimacy to change any article".

Bartomeu finished explaining that the change proposed is not by an economic subject, but of adaptation: "Therefore we bring here the evolution of the shield, to respect the statutes. They have spoken us of history, of nostalgia of emotion. His and the ones of the board are the same. This proposal is by adaptation to the new technologies, overcoat to the digital surroundings. There is not any economic reason. We will not win more money. It is a subject of adaptation".

In this way, it will be necessary to expect to know if the shield of the FC Barcelona finally will finish modifying. In the last seasons, big clubs like the Manchester City or the Juventus of Turín have carried out similar changes, although it will be necessary to expect to know if the Barça will be the following.
