Deon Fourie Delivers Stirring Message to Stormers Faithful Amid Badge Change
In a powerful and emotional message, veteran flanker Deon Fourie has addressed DHL Stormers supporters following the franchise’s decision to unveil a new team badge. The bold move marks a new era for the Cape-based side, and Fourie’s words serve as both reassurance and a rallying cry.
Acknowledging the deep connection fans have with the old badge, Fourie begins with honesty: “We know… change is hard.” He goes on to pay tribute to the legacy of the Stormers’ former emblem, reminding supporters of the unforgettable moments it represented — the bone-jarring tackles, the dazzling tries, and the proudest victories in the franchise’s history.
“Our old badge has been with us through the biggest tackles, the sweetest tries, and the proudest moments of our history,” Fourie reflects. “It’s part of who we are.”
However, the message isn’t about letting go — it’s about moving forward. Fourie insists that the new badge doesn’t erase history but instead carries it into the future: “This new badge isn’t replacing our story — it’s carrying it forward.”
The identity of the team remains unchanged. With passion and clarity, Fourie reinforces what really matters: “Same colours. Same spirit. Same team. We’re still fighting for every inch.”
It’s a strong message of continuity and commitment. As a respected leader on and off the field, Fourie’s words carry weight. Fans can take comfort in knowing that the Stormers remain focused, united, and ambitious.
“This is just the next chapter… and it’s going to be a big one,” he concludes — a powerful sign that, while the badge may look different, the heart of the Stormers remains the same.
The message is clear: history evolves, but loyalty endures.
