Mucker1884 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Following a discussion on the Leicester friendly matchday thread... Thought it best to pull it out into it's own thread, as it's a question that needs answering, if only for my own sanity! ? Anyone know when the Toyota Stand signage changed from red to black? That's the band of the Toyota name all along the length of the stand, above the boxes, between upper and lower tiers. I mistakenly assumed it was this close season, but following a comment from @Ramos, I've already started digging... We now know it was already black for the game v Brum last season, as it shows at the end of this highlights vid... I'll stand a pint to the guy or gal who saves mysanity, and comes up with the answer... Two pints for the exact date! ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoxallRam Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Was it when they rebranded? https://www.dezeen.com/2020/07/22/toyota-rebrands-flat-logo/amp/ Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) I want to say it’s been at least 3 or 4 seasons tbh!! found this picture - the Avon tyres sponsorship on the pitch suggests this is Rowetts season! And as you can see the Toyota sign is black. Edited July 24, 2022 by Ramos Mucker1884 and Rammy03 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) OK... Hallows Eve, 2015... 3-0 win v Rotherham... Red Toyota... Next at home is a 1-0 win over QPR, 3rd Nov... Still Red? Then a 2-0 win v Cardiff on 23rd Nov... Yep, defo red, still... Home to Brighton... 12th Dec 2015... 2-2 draw... Looks Black to me!! Possibly backed up with one of those "Black & White" Games? So conclusive proof that Toyota went black in the run up to the Brighton game, on 12th December 2015. A massive thanks to all of you who helped me with this extensive research. You know who you aren't, and I really could have done it without you. I'm just thrilled to have this mighty teaser now solved, and delighted to have ensured that you will all sleep a little more soundly tonight. No... seriously... you are all most welcome. ?
