The Villa Crest

[Neil Hawkes]

I've always thought "Prepared" was a rubbish motto.

Tell that to Scouts

[dave shelley]

I've always thought "Prepared" was a rubbish motto.

Particularly as from the mid 20th century we hardly were.  Strangely enough, I still think it belongs there.

I've always thought "Prepared" was a rubbish motto.

Tell that to Scouts

The fact that we share it with the Scouts is about as comprehensive evidence of its rubbishness as it is possible to provide.

I'd like something classy, preferably in Latin.

"Noses eunt domus".

[Drummond]

I've always thought "Prepared" was a rubbish motto.

It's a slippery slope that leads to 3 at the back.

I've never seen an episode of Dr Who? But it's the round one.

Colin Baker then

I like to argue with Dr Who? fans that Sylvester McCoy was the best one. They practically froth at the mouth.

With Bonnie Langford being the best assistant?

…and Yoko Ono was the most important member of The Beatles.

[Legion]

The scout one is/was, 'Be prepared".

[Drummond]

I'll always love the round badge.

However... I like the original lion rampant, that was then repeated in the shirt before the round one.

I'd like that lion, in the shield from 56, with Aston Villa (as in the round badge) underneath rather than prepared.

All in Claret and Blue, perhaps with a touch of gold somewhere. And no fucking star. Not AVFC,   no stripes, and no cuddly clawless wimpy lion.

[Drummond]

Oh, and I like 'Forward' too.

[German James]

"Non sumus leves; non solum non approbamus te"

[thick_mike]

Oh, and I like 'Forward' too.

What about, “Attack! Attack! Attack attack attack!”

[Drummond]

Oh, and I like 'Forward' too.

What about, “Attack! Attack! Attack attack attack!”

'Score more than them!'
'Quite simply the best'

The new badge looks pretty good in the monochromed rubberised (!) versions that have been on the away kits and training gear the last few years. If they did a white or a light blue version on the home shirt, that would do fine. The current design doesn’t work well on a fabric badge and the colours are wrong.

Plus. The current badge is mosaiced into the Holte End. Would cost a few quid to update that to a new design. Although I know a pretty good tiler in Bedworth that could probably do the club a good deal, for cash.

I love the 56-69 badge but would prefer the lion to look a bit more fierce - as I think it did on some images.





I'd also love to have the 1878 red lion on black as a one off second kit one season.  It would be great if we started to produce more kits with a nod to historic shirts.

That looks better on the Holte than it does on a shirt
