It's better than the current one and as I was saying, it was never going to be massive change while Randy is still the owner. The Comic Sans is gone. Next step, remove the comedians from the pitch.

And why change the badge if you're actively pursuing a buyer for the club?

We're not though are we? There's no way Lerner will sell now, he wants all his money back and right now that can only be a dream.

But, but... I keep hearing how much he wants to sell, but people don't buy football clubs any more.

I think you may have said that before.

Spotter's, er, badge.

Jesus, I thought some of the pretentious nonsense written about the Italian craftsmen who designed our Macron nylon shirt was bad enough but this is ridiculous.

It's not brilliant but I do like the detail on the lion.

They've managed the impossible, they've made the current badge even worse. On the picture comparing it to the old badge it looks awful. Looks as if the lion has a massive, deformed, yellow head with no ear on it.

I like it on the fabric but think the image is a bit dull. Ah well, does it matter at the moment?

[Toronto Villa]

The lion is a proper lion now and he's harder than anyone we have in current starting XI

Fucking hell...

I do hope we start using the embossed version on shirts rather than the current style which always looks a bit like a sticker or iron on transfer.

Old vs new.

[Jimbo]

The lion's bigger than it was in 2007, it's bulked up a bit, but it's no longer Prepared for the struggle ahead. It's Gabby Agbonlahor.

[PeterWithesShin]

So my opinion, the embossed version looks nice, the transfer version is still a bit meh.

[West Derby Villan]

I think that it is an improvement on the previous one at a relatively low cost. It will signify a new era, a new beginning, on our way back

[Toronto Villa]

The one on the right just looks like the lion grew up. Longer have, sharper nails, worked out a bit. Assume the next version will be a fatter slower version, balding. Gabby-esque even.

I'm a fan of the current/ old badge. This is a definite downgrade IMO.

Surely the embossed is for the shirts!? Looks like it's on a shirt in the image.
