I'd think that winning the title this year would be a great way to commemorate their 50th anniversary.

Far more than the Glazer's efforts to remember (make bank off) them with one-season only kits and whatnot.

No disrespect inteded here, but that kind of tribute would have been marketed regardless of ownership. It's just good marketing.
