We only started putting barges on the shirt regularly in the fifties.

Well tug me, I never knew that.

Explains why we ship so many goals.

And sink like the Titanic

We had an emblem on a few of the early shirts. But just a lion, the symbol of Scotland or the "Forward Birmingham" flag can't really be described as being like a modern-day "Villa badge".

We've had badges on since the fifties with the exception of the aforementioned brief period when we just had "AVFC" written in an uninspiring font.

Someone's going to sail away with the worst pun of the day award.

Sure I read somewhere that when Howard Kendall first took over at Everton, he insisted that all of the photos of previously successful Everton sides were removed from the ground, as he wanted them to stop living on past glories.

Never liked the crest from when it was introduced on 2007 to be honest.  Seems ludicrous spending a big pot on a new one given the mess were in, but then again this is Tom Fox.

Yet paradoxically one of the easiest early PR wins for the Lerner era was recognising the achievements of 80-82 after the almost Lenin style airbrushing from history under Ellis.

All this new crest talk makes me anchor for the old round one

They should bring this back, be appropriate as we win the trophy again next season.

perfect,what about a lone star above?

No, no stars. It's beauty is its simplicity.

This. No stars, no Prepared. Let's stop living on past glories, but let's be Aston Villa again.

I just want this badge!

That will be added after we win our first Skybet Championship.

If we're discussing history, I think that was Stalin, not Lenin!

Doh.  See Lenin's rewriting of history was so subtle, no one really noticed it
