Technically the lion should be gold, but in a digital world that doesn’t work.

For me it has to stay gold. I wouldnt want the lion going back claret. Its been gold throughout our premier league era and thats how it should stay

Obsessing over "the Premier League era" is about as plastic as it gets. The best badge is the round one. The lion on the round one is claret. Ergo, the lion should be claret. Yellow is a rubbish colour.

Who is obsessing? Im explaining my rationale for ehy i like this badge. Thats not "obsessing"

I think it's more Demitri's age. He has only known that era.

Exactly that mate 👍 was just being born when we won the european cup

I was being born when we won the league the year before and I know the round badge is the best one!

If i was born then id probably same same thing!

I would just want the words Aston Villa on it
It’s the greatest name in football and shouldn’t be hidden behind AVFC

I have to admit that I wouldn’t mind just a lion without letters or words (70’s style) it would have to be a proper, rampant, lion.
We know who we are, we know we’re the greatest team the world.
Saying that, I would really like our 50’s type

A slight diversion - does anyone still have the image from the flag suggestions of a very relaxed looking lion that led to some of the most hysterical (as in funny, rather than mad) comments I think I've ever read ? If memory serves I think it was damon green who created it ?
