According to the C&A website the logo in use on this article is from 1984. A new logo was introduced in 1999 - which has a white line between the blue and red. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.70.61 (talk) 23:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I believe that the company was/is a large owner of retail property in the UK, and in the years following the closure of the C&A retail chain. they have continued to make good profits from their portfolio. I was told this by my father who worked for the company for many years Almondcroissant (talk) 13:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have added the name C&A Modes with quite a few sources including a legal case. Also note there are a couple of images hosted at Facebook (login required). I do hope no-one shouts WP:CITEKILL .-- 82.13.47.210 (talk) 18:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

"Man at C&A" was the name, or at least the byline, used in the Menswear Department of C&A in the 1970s or before. You can find adverts on YouTube referencing this. So not invented as a slur in the 1980s as the article currently infers. Though it was used ironically in this manner. ~2026-57819-1 (talk) 00:29, 27 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
