Before the end of last season, the regulations on renaming the Super League had been promulgated, and all teams were racking their brains to rename themselves. Guangzhou R&F team changed its name to Guangzhou City, and Guangzhou Evergrande Team is also actively planning to change its name. At present, according to the gossip, except for a few teams, all the others need to be changed to neutral names.
Just today, the new name of Henan Jianye Team was released and renamed as Luoyang Longmen Team. Jianye, an old brand that has been used for more than 20 years, has become a belief in the hearts of Henan fans. After the name, remove the word Henan and change it to Luoyang. Let many Henan fans down. Even the fan club announced that it would dissolve the fan club. The impact on this team is still great.
Among many neutral names, there are many names that can represent Henan. Some fans think that Luoyang can only represent Luoyang, not Henan. The word Luoyang can't satisfy the sense of belonging of Henan fans, and even some fans even mean Longmen in Luoyang, which only represents the railway station but not Henan Jianye. In fact, we can understand the hearts of Henan fans. After all, the Henan team without the word Henan is really unacceptable.
For a team, the name of the team is not only a code name, but also represents a long-cherished wish in the hearts of fans. Therefore, a good name is very important for a team. There is nothing wrong with renaming the Chinese Super League and introducing new rules. The initial intention is also for the commercialization of the team, which can make the team pass on better. However, in the process of implementation, some fans do not want to see the situation.
For the long-term development of the Super League, it is imperative to change its name, and no team or anyone can stop it. For fans, it may be hard to accept at present, but for the long-term development of the team, we should also learn to keep pace with the times and not stick to the present.
